Kerr-Newman black holes from 𝒩 = 1∗

Abstract

Abstract The microstate counting of charged rotating AdS5 supersymmetric black holes has been reformulated in terms of an extremization problem, obtained from the superconformal index of the 4d dual SCFT. On the gravitational side this problem corresponds to the attractor mechanism of the theory KK reduced on AdS4. Such procedure has indeed been successfully applied to some consistent truncations with a known field theory dual description. In this paper we study the case of the Leigh-Strassler fixed point along these lines, finding an agreement between the field theory and the gravitational results.
