A bstract We study four-derivative corrections to five-dimensional minimal gauged
supergravity. We evaluate the on-shell action of the AdS 5 black hole solution with two …

A bstract We study how the microstates of BPS sectors in string theory are organized in the
dual U (N) gauge theory. The microstates take the form of a coherent sum of stacks of branes …

The superconformal index of the N= 4 SU (N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory counts the
1/16-BPS (Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield) states in this theory, and has been used via …

A bstract We show that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of large supersymmetric black
holes in AdS 5× S 5 emerges from remarkable cancellations in the giant graviton …

Using recent results in four-derivative 5d N= 2 minimal gauged supergravity, we evaluate
the regularized on-shell action of the Euclidean solution in this theory that admits a …

A bstract It has long been conjectured that the large N deconfinement phase transition
of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 SU (N) super-Yang-Mills corresponds via AdS/CFT to the Hawking …

Computing leading higher curvature contributions to thermodynamic quantities of AdS black
hole is drastically simplified once the higher curvature terms are expressed in terms of …

A bstract We study the logarithmic corrections to various CFT partition functions in the
context of the AdS 4/CFT 3 correspondence for theories arising on the worldvolume of M2 …

We study a set of four-dimensional N= 2 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) Γ^(G)
labeled by a pair of simply laced Lie groups Γ and G. They are constructed out of gauging a …

A bstract We study four-derivative corrections to 5d\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2 minimal gauged
supergravity using tools from conformal supergravity. There are two supersymmetric …
