Abstract

We study the exact entropy of four-dimensional N=2\mathcal{N}=2 black holes in M-theory both from the brane and supergravity points of view. On the microscopic side the degeneracy is given by a Fourier coefficient of the elliptic genus of the dual two-dimensional N=(0,4)\mathcal{N}=(0,4) SCFT and can be extracted via a Rademacher expansion. We show how this expansion is mapped to a modified OSV formula derived by Denef and Moore. On the macroscopic side the degeneracy is computed by applying localization techniques to Sen's quantum entropy functional reducing it to a finite number of integrals. The measure for this finite dimensional integral is determined using a connection with Chern-Simons theory on AdS2×_2 \timesS1^1. The leading answer is a Bessel function in agreement with the microscopic answer. Other subleading corrections can be explained in terms of instanton contributions.
