Gravitational index of the D1-D5-P black string

Silvia Georgescu, Sameer Murthy, Andrew Svesko

We present saddle-points of the Euclidean Gravitational Path Integral (GPI) corresponding to the supersymmetric index of the D1-D5-P black string. These saddles are complex, supers…

Localization of strings on group manifolds

Sameer Murthy, Edward Witten

The paper computes the partition function of Wess‑Zumino‑Witten models on compact Lie groups by applying supersymmetric localization, expressing it as a sum over abelian classical…

Strings and near-extremal black holes in theories with large superconformal symmetry

Sameer Murthy, Mukund Rangamani

We study the one-loop partition function of superstrings in the background. Specifically, we show that…

Allowable complex metrics and the gravitational index of AdS black holes

Pietro Benetti Genolini, Oliver Janssen, Sameer Murthy

We discuss the Kontsevich-Segal-Witten criterion for the allowability of complex metrics, in the context of the gravitational path integral that calculates the supersymmetric index…

The gravitational index and allowable complex metrics

Pietro Benetti Genolini, Sameer Murthy

We study the Kontsevich-Segal-Witten criterion for allowable complex metrics, in the context of the gravitational path integral corresponding to the supersymmetric index. In variou…

Novel black saddles for 5d gravitational indices and the index enigma

Jan Boruch, Roberto Emparan, Luca V. Iliesiu +1

We construct a series of novel Euclidean multi-black-hole, black ring, black Saturn, and black lens solutions to supergravity that contribute as saddle-points to the grav…
