Abstract

We use recently established AdS6_6/CFT5_5 dualities to count the microstates of magnetically charged AdS6×S2×Σ_6 \times S^2 \times \Sigma black holes in Type IIB. The near-horizon limit is described by solutions with AdS2×Σg1×Σg2×S2×Σ_2 \times \Sigma_{\mathfrak{g}_1} \times \Sigma_{\mathfrak{g}_2} \times S^2 \times \Sigma geometry, where Σgi\Sigma_{\mathfrak{g}_i} are Riemann surfaces of constant curvature and Σ\Sigma 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 N4N^4 scaling found in the sphere partition functions and extend previous matches of sphere partition functions to AdS6_6 solutions with monodromy.
