abstract

We show that the superconformal index of N=1 superconformal field theories in four dimensions has an asymptotic growth of states which is exponential in the charges. Our analysis holds in a Cardy-like limit of large charges, for which the index is dominated by small values of chemical potentials. In this limit we find the saddle points of the integral that defines the superconformal index using two different methods. One method, valid for finite N, is to first take the Cardy-like limit and then find the saddle points. The other method is to analyze the saddle points at large N and then take the Cardy-like limit. The result of both analyses is that the asymptotic growth of states of the superconformal index exactly agrees with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of supersymmetric black holes in the dual AdS$_5$ theory.

  1. Cardy limit of the 3d superconformal index

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    In the Cardy limit the 3d superconformal index obeys Z ~ beta^{-#} on the first sheet and Z ~ e^{#/beta} on the second, with gauge-enhancing saddles screened for non-chiral theories.

  2. Microstates of AdS$_5$ black holes with hypermultiplets

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new family of rotating AdS5 black holes with nonzero hypermultiplet scalars has horizon entropy matching the superconformal index of the dual SCFTs, at first order in a perturbative expansion around z=1.

  3. Gravitational index, black hole saddle degeneracy, and one-form symmetry

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The |G|-fold degeneracy of supersymmetric AdS5 black hole index saddles is fixed by the flux-quantized BF coupling of the bulk one-form symmetry and persists unmodified in the decompactified black-brane limit.

  4. Supersymmetric zeta functions and determinants

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Residues and special values of supersymmetric zeta functions (built from single-particle indices) are conjectured to reproduce anomaly coefficients, Casimir energies, and central charges across 2d/4d/6d.

  5. Localizing AlAdS$_5$ black holes and the SUSY index on $S^1 \times M_3$

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The S^1×M_3 supersymmetric index for round, Lens, elliptically and biaxially squashed three-spheres is reproduced from D=5 equivariant localization after subtracting the Casimir energy via a gluing prescription.

  6. Quiver superconformal index and giant gravitons: asymptotics and expansions

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For toric quiver theories, coefficients of the large-N superconformal index grow like exp(constant*sqrt(n)) times n^((m-5)/4) for the A-hat_m family, with polynomial growth for dP3 and Y^{p,0}.
