This paper addresses a long standing problem, the counting of the microstates of supersymmetric asymptotically AdS black holes in terms of a holographically dual field theory. We focus on a class of asymptotically AdS$_4$ static black holes preserving two real supercharges which are dual to a topologically twisted deformation of the ABJM theory. We evaluate in the large $N$ limit the topologically twisted index of the ABJM theory and we show that it correctly reproduces the entropy of the AdS$_4$ black holes. An extremization of the index with respect to a set of chemical potentials is required. We interpret it as the selection of the exact R-symmetry of the superconformal quantum mechanics describing the horizon of the black hole.

  1. Indices of M5 and M2 branes at finite $N$ from equivariant volumes, and a new duality

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Finite-N indices for M5- and M2-branes are expressed via the same equivariant characteristic classes, generalizing M2/M5 duality through geometry exchange.

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0

    Derives Airy representation for S^3 partition functions in M2-brane theories that exactly matches equivariant topological string predictions and proposes a new CY4 to C x CY3 correspondence via quantum curves.

  3. Spindle solutions with hyperscalars in $D=4$ gauged supergravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    New classes of supersymmetric AdS₂×Σ spindle solutions with hyperscalars are constructed in D=4 STU gauged supergravity and uplifted to smooth AdS₂×Y₉ solutions in D=11 supergravity.

  4. A gravity interpretation for the complex Euclidean saddles of the ABJM index

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The complex saddles of the ABJM index are interpreted through instability of wrapped M5-branes in the dual gravity theory.
