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 …

Towards the F-theorem: field theories on the three-sphere

DL Jafferis, IR Klebanov, SS Pufu, BR Safdi - Journal of High Energy …, 2011 - Springer
For 3-dimensional field theories with\(\mathcal {N}= 2\) supersymmetry the Euclidean path
integrals on the three-sphere can be calculated using the method of localization; they …

[图书][B] Sasakian geometry

C Boyer, K Galicki - 2007 - academic.oup.com
Sasakian manifolds were first introduced in 1962. This book's main focus is on the intricate
relationship between Sasakian and Kähler geometries, especially when the Kähler structure …

Brane dimers and quiver gauge theories

S Franco, A Hanany, D Vegh, B Wecht… - Journal of High …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We describe a technique which enables one to quickly compute an infinite number of toric
geometries and their dual quiver gauge theories. The central object in this construction is …

F-theorem without supersymmetry

IR Klebanov, SS Pufu, BR Safdi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 - Springer
The conjectured F-theorem for three-dimensional field theories states that the finite part of
the free energy on S 3 decreases along RG trajectories and is stationary at the fixed points …

Counting BPS operators in gauge theories: quivers, syzygies and plethystics

S Benvenuti, B Feng, A Hanany… - Journal of High Energy …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop a systematic and efficient method of counting single-trace and multi-trace BPS
operators with two supercharges, for world-volume gauge theories of N D-brane probes for …

Sasaki–Einstein manifolds and volume minimisation

D Martelli, J Sparks, ST Yau - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2008 - Springer
We study a variational problem whose critical point determines the Reeb vector field for a
Sasaki–Einstein manifold. This extends our previous work on Sasakian geometry by lifting …

M5-branes wrapped on a spindle

P Ferrero, JP Gauntlett, D Martelli, J Sparks - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We construct supersymmetric AdS 5× Σ solutions of D= 7 gauged supergravity,
where Σ is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. These uplift on S 4 to solutions of …

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 …
