A bstractThis paper addresses a long standing problem, the counting of the microstates of supersymmetric asymptotically AdS black holes in terms of a holographically dual field theory. We focus on a class of asymptotically AdS4 static black holes preserving two real supercharges which are dual to a topologically twisted deformation of the ABJM theory. We evaluate in the large N limit the topologically twisted index of the ABJM theory and we show that it correctly reproduces the entropy of the AdS4 black holes. An extremization of the index with respect to a set of chemical potentials is required. We interpret it as the selection of the exact R-symmetry of the superconformal quantum mechanics describing the horizon of the black hole.

Supersymmetric partition functions on Riemann surfaces (2016, methodology): “One of the other purposes of this work is to generalize the counting of micro-states of a class of black holes in AdS4 performed in [18].”
Microscopic origin of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of supersymmetric AdS5 black holes (2018, methodology): “The strategy of this paper may also be employed in other contexts, for instance it could clarify further the holographic dictionary for the static supersymmetric AdS4 black holes studied in [3, 24, 27], and possibly for their rotating generalizations.”
TASI Lectures on the Emergence of Bulk Physics in AdS/CFT (2017, positive): “In some special cases we can even match the O(1) coefficient, giving a microscopic derivation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula [34, 35, 36].”

Black Holes in 4D N=4 Super-Yang-Mills Field Theory (2018, methodology): “. Since the latter counts states weighted by the fermion number ( F1) , one may worry that strong cancelations take place and that the total number of states is not accessible. However, one can argue [10,11] that the index (3.2) or (3.7) is equal to I(p;q;y 1;y 2) = Tr eiˇR trial(˝;˙; 1; 2) e 2ˇIm[˝”
Exact microstate counting for dyonic black holes in AdS4 (2016, methodology): “We recently reported [3] on a particular example of magnetically charged BPS black holes in AdS4 [4] with a known field theory dual—topologically twisted ABJM theory.”
