Decoupling saddles of the gravitational index and the Farey tail
Davide Cassani, Alejandro Ruipérez, Enrico Turetta
We first construct general saddles of the five-dimensional gravitational supersymmetric index with asymptotics, carrying an arbitrary number of electric cha…
Gravitational index, black hole saddle degeneracy, and one-form symmetry
Davide Cassani, Gianmarco Esposto
It is known that the saddle describing the contribution of supersymmetric black holes to the index of four-dimensional superconformal field theories is degenerate. This degeneracy…
The black hole at the end of the cone: localizing the anomaly polynomial on toric geometries
Davide Cassani, Enrico Turetta
We consider five-dimensional supergravity coupled to vector multiplets, gauged or ungauged, and propose an efficient method to evaluate the on-shell action of supersymmetric black…
Bubbling saddles of the gravitational index
Davide Cassani, Alejandro Ruipérez, Enrico Turetta
We consider the five-dimensional supergravity path integral that computes a supersymmetric index, and uncover a wealth of semiclassical saddles with bubbling topology. These are co…
Quantum black holes: supersymmetry and exact results
Davide Cassani, Sameer Murthy
The explanation of black hole entropy as statistical entropy is one of the big successes of string theory. In this article we review recent progress in this subject, focussing on u…
Localization of the 5D supergravity action and Euclidean saddles for the black hole index
Davide Cassani, Alejandro Ruipérez, Enrico Turetta
We investigate equivariant localization of the gravitational on-shell action in odd dimensions, focusing on five-dimensional ungauged supergravity. We analyze the conditions for ca…
