A 4d N=1 Cardy Formula

Abstract

We study the asymptotic behavior of the (modified) superconformal index for 4d gauge theory. By considering complexified chemical potential, we find that the `high-temperature limit' of the index can be written in terms of the conformal anomalies . We also find macroscopic entropy from our asymptotic free energy when the Hofman-Maldacena bound for the interacting SCFT is satisfied. We study theories that are dual to AdS and find that the Cardy limit of our index accounts for the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of large black holes.
