Abstract

We study supersymmetric index of 4d SU(N)SU(N) N=4\mathcal{N}=4 super Yang-Mills theory on S1×M3S^1 \times M_3. We compute asymptotic behavior of the index in the limit of shrinking S1S^1 for arbitrary NN by a refinement of supersymmetric Cardy formula. The asymptotic behavior for the superconformal index case (M3=S3M_3 =S^3) at large NN agrees with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of rotating electrically charged BPS black hole in AdS5AdS_5 via a Legendre transformation as recently shown in literature. We also find that the agreement formally persists for finite NN if we slightly modify the AdS/CFT dictionary between Newton constant and NN. This implies an existence of non-renormalization property of the quantum black hole entropy. We also study the cases with other gauge groups and additional matters, and the orbifold N=4\mathcal{N}=4 super Yang-Mills theory. It turns out that the entropies of all the CFT examples in this paper are given by 2πQ1Q2+Q1Q3+Q2Q32c(J1+J2)2\pi \sqrt{Q_1 Q_2 +Q_1 Q_3 +Q_2 Q_3 -2c(J_1 +J_2 )} with charges Q1,2,3Q_{1,2,3}, angular momenta J1,2J_{1,2} and central charge cc. The results for other M3M_3 make predictions to the gravity side.
