Hiding the extra dimensions: A review on scale separation in string theory

T Coudarchet - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
We present an overview of both older and recent developments concerning scale separation
in string theory. We focus on parametric scale separation obtained at the classical level in …

Thermodynamics of black holes with probe D-branes

Bethe Ansatz for the superconformal index with unequal angular momenta

O Aharony, O Mamroud, S Nowik, M Weissman - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
A few years ago it was shown that the superconformal index of the N= 4 supersymmetric SU

Near-horizon geometries and black hole thermodynamics in higher-derivative AdS5 supergravity

PA Cano, M David - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Higher-derivative corrections in the AdS/CFT correspondence allow us to capture
finer details of the dual CFT and to explore the holographic dictionary beyond the infinite N …

The light we can see: extracting black holes from weak Jacobi forms

L Apolo, S Bintanja, A Castro, D Liska - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer

states in weak Jacobi forms. The constraints we consider are sparseness conditions on the …

Mixed't Hooft Anomalies and the Witten Effect for AdS Black Holes

M Heydeman, C Toldo - arXiv preprint arXiv:2412.03695, 2024 - arxiv.org
For a variety of BPS black holes in string theory, the supersymmetric index has provided a
microscopic validation of the Bekenstein-Hawking formula. In the near-BPS limit, a …
