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 …

Non-relativistic quantum field theory is a framework that describes systems where the
velocities are much smaller than the speed of light. A large class of those obey Schrödinger …

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 revamp the constructive enumeration of 1/16-BPS states in the maximally
supersymmetric Yang-Mills in four dimensions, and search for ones that are not of multi …

A bstract We find a family of complex saddle-points at large N of the matrix model for the
superconformal index of SU (N)\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 super Yang-Mills theory on S 3× S 1 with …

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 …

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 …

A bstract We provide a unifying entropy functional and an extremization principle for black
holes and black strings in AdS 4× S 7 and AdS 5× S 5 with arbitrary rotation and generic …

A bstract We systematically analyze the large-N limit of the superconformal index
of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 1 superconformal theories having a quiver description. The index of these …
