We consider rotating, electrically charged, supersymmetric AdS black holes in four, five, six and seven dimensions, and provide a derivation of the respective extremization principles stating that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is the Legendre transform of a homogeneous function of chemical potentials, subject to a complex constraint. Extending a recently proposed BPS limit, we start from finite temperature and reach extremality following a supersymmetric trajectory in the space of complexified solutions. We show that the entropy function is the supergravity on-shell action in this limit. Chemical potentials satisfying the extremization equations also emerge from the complexified solution.
We construct new supersymmetric black holes in five-dimensional supergravity with an arbitrary number of vector multiplets and Fayet-Iliopoulos gauging. These are asymptotically locally AdS 5 and the conformal boundary comprises a squashed three-sphere with SU(2) × U(1) symmetry. The solution depends on two parameters, of which one determines the angular momentum and the Page electric charges, while the other controls the squashing at the boundary. The latter is arbitrary, however in the flow towards the horizon it is attracted to a value that only depends on the other parameter of the solution. The entropy is reproduced by a simple formula involving the angular momentum and the Page charges, rather than the holographic charges. Choosing the appropriate five-dimensional framework, the solution can be uplifted to type IIB supergravity on S 5 and should thus be dual to N = 4 super Yang-Mills on a rotating, squashed Einstein universe. arXiv:1809.02149v3 [hep-th] 17 Dec 2018 1 See also [24] for a non-supersymmetric study.
We present a new family of asymptotically locally AdS 5 squashed supersymmetric black hole solutions of Fayet-Iliopoulos gauged N = 2, D = 5 supergravity with two vector multiplets that have a natural uplift to type IIB supergravity. Our new family of black holes is characterized by three parameters, of which two control the horizon geometry while the latter regulates the squashing at the boundary. We evaluate the main physical properties of the family of solutions using holographic renormalization and find that the entropy is independent on the squashing and it is reproduced by using the angular momentum and the Page charges. In previously known solutions Page and holographic charges are equal, due to the vanishing of the Chern-Simons term that here, instead, is relevant. This result suggests that for asymptotically locally AdS 5 solutions we should refer to the Page charges to describe the thermodynamics of the system. Contents
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to compute the AC conductivities for a (2+1)-dimensional system of massless fundamental fermions coupled to (3+1)-dimensional Super Yang-Mills theory at strong coupling. We consider the system at finite charge density, with a constant electric field along the defect and an orthogonal magnetic field. The holographic model we employ is the well studied D3/probe-D5-brane system. There are two competing phases in this model: a phase with broken chiral symmetry favored when the magnetic field dominates over the charge density and the electric field and a chirally symmetric phase in the opposite regime. The presence of the electric field induces Ohm and Hall currents, which can be straightforwardly computed by means of the Karch-O'Bannon technique. Studying the fluctuations around the stable configurations in linear response theory, we are able to derive the full frequency dependence of longitudinal and Hall conductivities in all the regions of the phase space.
