Black hole microstate counting in Type IIB from 5d SCFTs
Abstract
We use recently established AdS/CFT dualities to count the microstates of magnetically charged AdS black holes in Type IIB. The near-horizon limit is described by solutions with AdS geometry, where are Riemann surfaces of constant curvature and is a further Riemann surface over which the geometry is warped. Our results show that the topologically twisted indices of the proposed dual superconformal field theories precisely reproduce the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of this class of black holes. This provides further support for a prescription to compute five-dimensional topologically twisted indices put forth recently, and for the proposed dualities. We confirm the scaling found in the sphere partition functions and extend previous matches of sphere partition functions to AdS solutions with monodromy.
