Large N partition functions, holography, and black holes

Abstract: In this talk, I will present a simple closed form expression for the topologically twisted index of the ABJM theory as a function of the magnetic fluxes and complexified electric chemical potentials valid at fixed k and to all orders in the large N expansion. These results have important implications for holography and the microscopic entropy counting of supersymmetric static AdS4 black holes. I will also discuss the squashed sphere partition function and the superconformal index of the ABJM theory in a similar context. Finally, I will briefly comment on the generalization to other N = 2 superconformal field theories.
