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…

Multicentered black hole saddles for supersymmetric indices

Jan Boruch, Luca V. Iliesiu, Sameer Murthy +1

The supersymmetric index in string theory can sometimes have a discontinuous integer-valued jump at co-dimension one surfaces in moduli space called walls of marginal stability. Wh…

A Black Hole Airy Tail

Stefano Antonini, Luca V. Iliesiu, Pratik Rath +1

In Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity, which is dual to a random matrix ensemble, the annealed entropy differs from the quenched entropy at low temperatures and goes negative. However,…

The evaporation of black holes in supergravity

Guanda Lin, Luca V. Iliesiu, Mykhaylo Usatyuk

In supergravity, charged rotating black holes are generically driven towards becoming extremal and supersymmetric through the emission of Hawking radiation. Eventually, as the blac…

The gravitational index of 5d black holes and black strings

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

The supersymmetric index of 5d black strings and spinning black holes in M-theory is related to that of 4d black holes in type IIA supergravity when both theories are compactified…

The gravitational path integral from an observer's point of view

Ahmed I. Abdalla, Stefano Antonini, Luca V. Iliesiu +1

One of the fundamental problems in quantum gravity is to describe the experience of a gravitating observer in generic spacetimes. In this paper, we develop a framework for describi…
