Quantum vortices, M2-branes and black holes

Sunjin Choi,

Abstract: We study the partition functions of BPS vortices and magnetic monopole operators, in gauge theories describing N M2-branes. In particular, we explore two closely related methods to study the Cardy limit of the index on S 2 ×R. The first method uses the factorization of this index to vortex partition functions, while the second one uses a continuum approximation for the monopole charge sums. Monopole condensation confines most of the N 2 degrees of freedom except N 3 2 of them, even in the high temperature deco… Show more

“…The first explicit computation was performed for static magnetically charged black holes by Benini, Hristov and Zaffaroni in [6] (see [7] for a review). More recently, a microscopic description for the entropy of rotating, electrically charged AdS 4 black holes has been provided via the superconformal index [8] and by a related localization computation [9]. Similar results were obtained in [10,11].…”

“…For general non-supersymmetric black holes we do not have good methods to count these states in the strongly coupled theories which map under the AdS/CFT correspondence to weakly curved backgrounds (where the Bekenstein-Hawking computation is valid). In the last few years, considerable progress has been made in performing this counting for 1/16-BPS black holes in type IIB string theory on AdS 5 × S 5 , which map to 1/16-BPS states in the N = 4 SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory on S 3 (this followed related results in other backgrounds, starting with [29] and including [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]).…”

“…In this context, the problem of microstate counting via holography is conveniently reformulated in terms of a supersymmetric field theory path integral in a background with sources. This takes the form of a supersymmetric index that can then be computed using a variety of methods and then compared with the black hole entropy; for example in the case of D = 4, which is the focus of this paper, see [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. On the gravity side, the same partition function is obtained from a suitably defined on-shell action, regularized so that the supersymmetric and extremal limit is well-defined, see e.g.…”
