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 …

We give a pedagogical introduction to the study of supersymmetric partition functions of 3D
𝒩= 2 supersymmetric Chern–Simons-matter theories (with an R-symmetry) on half-BPS …

A bstract We show that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a class of BPS electrically
charged rotating black holes in AdS 5× S 5 can be obtained by a simple extremization …

A bstract Many three-dimensional\(\mathcal {N}= 2\) SCFTs admit a universal partial
topological twist when placed on hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. We exploit this fact to derive …

We find an intriguing relation between a class of three-dimensional nonunitary topological
field theories (TFTs) and Virasoro minimal models M (2, 2 r+ 3) with r≥ 1. The TFTs are …

A bstract We study the large N limit of some supersymmetric partition functions of the U (N)
k× U (N)− k ABJM theory computed by supersymmetric localization. We conjecture an …

A bstract We study 3d\(\mathcal {N}= 2\) supersymmetric gauge theories on closed oriented
Seifert manifolds—circle bundles over an orbifold Riemann surface—, with a gauge group G …

A bstract By incorporating higher-form symmetries, we propose a refined definition of the
theories obtained by compactification of the 6d (2, 0) theory on a three-manifold M 3. This …

A bstract We systematically study various sub-leading structures in the superconformal index
of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with SU (N) gauge group. We …

A bstract We revisit the confinement/deconfinement transition in\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 super
Yang-Mills (SYM) theory and its relation to the Hawking-Page transition in gravity. Recently …
