We consider supersymmetric solutions of $D=5$ Euclidean gauged supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets. We consider solutions that admit both the R-symmetry Killing vector, $\mathcal{K}$, constructed as a bilinear in the Killing spinor, as well as an additional Killing vector $\ell$. Using $\ell$ to perform a dimensional reduction to $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauged supergravity, we show how the $D=5$ on-shell action can be computed using equivariant localization. We illustrate the formalism with some examples, computing the supersymmetric Casimir energy and the supersymmetric index of the dual SCFT without using the explicit supergravity solutions.

  1. Probing black holes with equivariant localization

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Equivariant localization computes probe D3-brane actions in uplifted Kerr-Newman-AdS5 supergravity backgrounds, reducing them to toric-data integrals for SCFT indices.

  2. The superconformal index and localizing higher derivative supergravity

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Equivariant localization computes the on-shell action of D=5 AdS rotating charged black holes in higher-derivative supergravity, exactly matching the dual superconformal index in the Cardy limit.
