AdS Black hole entropy from gauge theory

One of the great successes of string theory, as a theory of quantum gravity, is the explanation of the entropy of asymptotically-flat black holes. After reviewing the seminal example of Strominger-Vafa, I will discuss challenges in AdS and the first counting of microstates for black holes in AdS4.

The computation proceeds via supersymmetric localization (applied to holography). Along the way, we will define and compute an index for topologically twisted theories, and explore its connections with gravity. Speaker(s): Francesco Benini (IAS)
