Odd-Dimensional Localization in Supergravity
Pietro Benetti Genolini, Florian Gaar, Jerome P. Gauntlett +2
We establish a localization principle for odd-dimensional supergravity theories containing Chern--Simons interactions. Our construction relies on combining an equivariant extension…
Airy functions from quantum M-theory
Pietro Benetti Genolini, Florian Gaar, Jerome P. Gauntlett +2
We show that Airy function partition functions for M2-brane theories may be derived from relative equivariant localization of quantum M-theory. The eleven-dimensional Chern--Simons…
Equivariant localization for gauged supergravity
Pietro Benetti Genolini, Jerome P. Gauntlett, Yusheng Jiao +2
We consider supersymmetric solutions of Euclidean gauged supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets. We consider solutions that admit both the R-symmetr…
Probing black holes with equivariant localization
Pietro Benetti Genolini, Christopher Couzens, Alice Lüscher
We introduce equivariant localization as a method for computing the action of probe branes in supergravity backgrounds. We apply it to supersymmetric probe D3-branes in type IIB su…
Introduction to black hole thermodynamics
Pietro Benetti Genolini
These are the lecture notes for a course at the "Roberto Salmeron School in Mathematical Physics" held at the University of Brasilia in September 2025, to be published in the proce…
