Abstract

We present a formula for the quantum entropy of supersymmetric five-dimensional spinning black holes in M-theory compactified on CY3CY_3, i.e., BMPV black holes. We use supersymmetric localization in the framework of off-shell five dimensional N=2N=2 supergravity coupled to I=1,,NV+1I = 1,\dots,N_V + 1 off-shell vector multiplets. The theory is governed at two-derivative level by the symmetric tensor CIJK\mathcal{C}_{IJK} (the intersection numbers of the Calabi-Yau) and at four-derivative level by the gauge-gravitational Chern-Simons coupling cIc_I (the second Chern class of the Calabi-Yau). The quantum entropy is an NV+2N_V + 2-dimensional integral parameterised by one real parameter φI\varphi^I for each vector multiplet and an additional parameter φ0\varphi^0 for the gravity multiplet. The integrand consists of an action governed completely by CIJK\mathcal{C}_{IJK} and cIc_{I}, and a one-loop determinant. Consistency with the on-shell logarithmic corrections to the entropy, the symmetries of the very special geometry of the moduli space, and an assumption of analyticity constrains the one-loop determinant up to a scale-independent function f(φ0)f(\varphi^0). For f=1f=1 our result agrees completely with the topological M-theory conjecture of Dijkgraaf, Gukov, Nietzke, and Vafa for static black holes at two derivative level, and provides a natural extension to higher derivative corrections. For rotating BMPV black holes, our result differs from the DGNV conjecture at the level of the first quantum corrections.
