Lectures on AdS Black Holes, Holography and Localization

High Energy Physics - Theory 2020-09-09 v3

Abstract

In these lectures I review some recent progresses in counting the number of microstates of AdS supersymmetric black holes in dimensions equal or greater than four using holography. The counting is obtained by applying localization and matrix model techniques to the dual field theory. I cover in details the case of dyonic AdS4_4 black holes, corresponding to a twisted compactification of the dual field theory, and I discuss the state of the art for rotating AdS5_5 black holes.
