AdS$_7$ Black Holes and Holography
Abstract
We present a detailed study of the regularized on-shell action of the recently found asymptotically AdS black hole supergravity solution with three angular momenta and two electric charges. We show that a particular choice of finite counterterms in the holographic renormalization procedure yields a result for the on-shell action of the supersymmetric limit of the black hole solution which is in perfect agreement with the large limit of the superconformal index of the dual 6d SCFT on . We also discuss a generalization of this 7d supergravity background to a new general family of black holes with horizons given by the 5d Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. The regularized on-shell action of these new 7d black holes is also in agreement with supersymmetric localization results for the 6d SCFT on . Finally, we briefly discuss a generalization of known AdS gauged supergravity backgrounds to new 5d black holes with lens space horizon topologies.
