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…

The counting of BPS states in four-dimensional theories has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. For superconformal theories, these states are in one-to-one c…
