AdS black holes, holography and localization

A Zaffaroni - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2020 - Springer
I review some recent progresses in counting the number of microstates of AdS
supersymmetric black holes in dimension equal or greater than four using holography. The …

Thermodynamics of accelerating and supersymmetric black holes

D Cassani, JP Gauntlett, D Martelli, J Sparks - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We study the thermodynamics of AdS 4 black hole solutions of Einstein-Maxwell theory that
are accelerating, rotating, and carry electric and magnetic charges. We focus on the class for …

D4-branes wrapped on a spindle

F Faedo, D Martelli - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We construct supersymmetric solutions of D= 6 gauged supergravity, where is a
two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. These uplift to solutions of massive type IIA …

Rotating multi-charge spindles and their microstates

SM Hosseini, K Hristov, A Zaffaroni - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract Some AdS 3× M 7 type IIB vacua have been recently proposed to arise from D3-
branes wrapped on a spindle, a sphere with conical singularities at the poles. We explicitly …

Entropy functions for accelerating black holes

A Boido, JP Gauntlett, D Martelli, J Sparks - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We introduce an entropy function for supersymmetric accelerating black holes in four-

Equivariant localization in supergravity

PB Genolini, JP Gauntlett, J Sparks - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We show that supersymmetric supergravity solutions with an R-symmetry Killing vector are
equipped with a set of equivariantly closed forms. Various physical observables may be …

Equivariant localization for AdS/CFT

PB Genolini, JP Gauntlett, J Sparks - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We explain how equivariant localization may be applied to AdS/CFT to compute
various BPS observables in gravity, such as central charges and conformal dimensions of …

Spindle black holes in AdS4× SE7

K Hristov, M Suh - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We construct new classes of supersymmetric AdS 2× Σ solutions of 4d gauged
supergravity in presence of charged hypermultiplet scalars, with Σ the complex weighted …

Gravitational blocks, spindles and GK geometry

A Boido, JP Gauntlett, D Martelli, J Sparks - … in Mathematical Physics, 2023 - Springer
We derive a gravitational block formula for the supersymmetric action for a general class of
supersymmetric AdS solutions, described by GK geometry. Extremal points of this action …

Branes wrapped on orbifolds and their gravitational blocks

F Faedo, A Fontanarossa, D Martelli - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2023 - Springer
We construct new supersymmetric AdS 2× M 4 solutions of D= 6 gauged supergravity, where
M 4 are certain four-dimensional orbifolds. After uplifting to massive type IIA supergravity …
