Rotating Black Hole Entropy from M5-branes
Abstract
We compute the superconformal index of 3d superconformal theories obtained from M5-branes wrapped on a hyperbolic 3-manifold. Exploiting the 3d-3d correspondence, we use perturbative invariants of Chern-Simons theory to determine the superconformal index in the large limit, including corrections logarithmic in . The leading order partition function provides a microscopic foundation for the entropy function of the dual rotating asymptotically AdS black holes. We also verify that the supergravity one-loop contribution to the term coincides with the field theoretic result. We propose a 3d-3d formulation for the refined topologically twisted index, and provide strong evidence in support of its vanishing --- which agrees with the fact that the expected dual rotating magnetically-charged black hole does not exist. This provides an interesting link between gravity and a tantalizing mathematical result.
