Non-supersymmetric F1-P black rings
A bstract: We construct singly and doubly spinning non-supersymmetric F1–P black ring solutions in five-dimensional supergravity. These black rings have regular horizons and non-zero temperature. The singly spinning configuration lies in the duality orbit of the black ring constructed by Elvang, Emparan, and Figueras, while the doubly spinning configuration is a charged extension of the black ring constructed by Chen, Hong, and Teo. We analyze the physical properties of these solutions and the various limits they admit. In particular, the doubly spinning solution admits an extremal limit in which the entropy satisfies the relation S = 2 πJ ϕ , thereby linking it directly to the angular momentum on the S 2 .

Index saddle for supersymmetric F1-P black ring
A bstract: We construct the index saddle for the supersymmetric F1-P black ring. Our construction proceeds by taking a supersymmetric limit of a non-supersymmetric doubly spinning F1-P black ring. We express the resulting saddle as a three-center Bena-Warner solution. The black ring saddle possesses a finite-area event horizon, yet the two-derivative index vanishes. The solution is singular on certain subspaces of the horizon, where higher-derivative corrections are expected to become important. We argue that, once such corrections are taken into account, the solution can yield a finite result. In particular, we present a scaling analysis showing that the index agrees with the microscopic result, up to an overall numerical constant that cannot be fixed by the scaling argument alone. This analysis applies only within a restricted region of parameter space, whose full significance is not yet fully understood.

Entanglement entropy and complexity in dyonic quantum black holes
A bstract: In this work, we study the holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) and holographic complexity (HC) for three-dimensional dyonic quantum black holes, incorporating corrections arising from bulk quantum fields in the setup of double holography. We investigate the holographic entanglement entropy through the holographic Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) prescription and the island prescription. Using RT extremization, we evaluate HEE for connected and disconnected (island) surfaces and show islands emerge when RT surfaces intersect the brane; entanglement entropy grows with subregion size and ultimately saturates for quantum black holes as well as dressed defects. For complexity, we analyze both CV (perturbative) and CA (exact, all-orders) prescriptions: the leading quantum corrections feature universal behavior and the late-time growth can be expressed in thermodynamic variables, obeying generalized Lloyd-type bounds. In contrast, quantum dressed defects exhibit vanishing late-time growth. The CA prescription proves to be more tractable nonperturbatively and yields a thermodynamic interpretation of complexity growth.

Index saddle for supersymmetric F1-P black ring
We construct the index saddle for the supersymmetric F1--P black ring. Our construction proceeds by taking a supersymmetric limit of a non-supersymmetric doubly spinning F1--P black ring. We express the resulting saddle as a three-center Bena--Warner solution. The black ring saddle possesses a finite-area event horizon, yet the two-derivative index vanishes. The solution is singular on certain subspaces of the horizon, where higher-derivative corrections are expected to become important. We argue that, once such corrections are taken into account, the solution can yield a finite result. In particular, we present a scaling analysis showing that the index agrees with the microscopic result, up to an overall numerical constant that cannot be fixed by the scaling argument alone. This analysis applies only within a restricted region of parameter space, whose full significance is not yet fully understood.

The gravitational index of a small black ring
A bstract: Certain supersymmetric elementary string states with angular momentum can be viewed as small black rings in a five-dimensional string theory. These black rings have zero area event horizon. The 4D-5D connection relates these small rings to small black holes without angular momentum in one less dimension. Recent works have proposed saddle solutions that compute the supersymmetric index for small black holes using gravitational path integral. In this paper, we propose an analogous saddle solution for a five-dimensional small black ring. The dominant contribution comes from a black ring saddle that rotates in both independent planes in five dimensions and has a finite area event horizon. We also write the saddle solution as a three center Bena-Warner solution.

Logarithmic correction to the entropy of a Kerr-Newman family of black holes in -charged STU supergravity modelsThe leading quantum-gravitational correction to the black hole entropy is known to be a universal logarithmic term. In this study, we investigate the logarithmic corrections for the black holes in the STU supergravity models, which are a bosonic truncation into a specific class of U ( 1 ) 2 -charged Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. We demonstrate how the entire Kerr-Newman-AdS and Kerr-Newman family of black holes can be recovered within the gauged and ungauged STU supergravity models as special embedding choices in 4D. Logarithmic corrections are computed using two distinct Euclidean quantum gravity setups for extremal and nonextremal limits of all embedded rotating, static, charged, and neutral black holes. Our calculations employ the on-shell heat kernel method based Seeley-DeWitt expansion computations. Notably, all the AdS 4 results exhibit a confirmed nontopological nature as compared to the flat counterparts, offering a natural and more comprehensive “infrared window into the microstates” of black holes.

Bulk-boundary thermodynamics of charged black holes in higher-derivative theory
The connection between bulk and boundary thermodynamics in Einstein–Maxwell theory is well established using AdS/CFT correspondence. In the context of general higher-derivative gravity coupled to a U(1) gauge field, we examine the resemblance of the first law of thermodynamics between bulk and boundary, followed by an extended phase space description on both sides. Higher-derivative terms related to different powers of the string theory parameter $$\alpha '$$ emerged from a consistent truncation in the bulk supergravity action. We demonstrate that one must include the fluctuation of $$\alpha '$$ in the bulk thermodynamics as a bookkeeping tool to match the bulk first law and Smarr relation with the boundary side. Consequently, the Euler relation and the boundary first law are altered by adding two central charges $$({\texttt{a}}, {\texttt{c}}).$$ To support our general conclusion, we consider the black hole in Gauss–Bonnet gravity and the general four-derivative theory. Finally, we examine the bulk and boundary aspects of the extended phase space description for higher-derivative-corrected black holes.- 6 May 2024

Logarithmic correction to black hole entropy in universal low-energy string theory models
We calculate the logarithmic correction to the entropy of asymptotically flat and AdS black holes (rotating, non-rotating, charged, and uncharged) embedded in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) theories with U(1)-charged. The leading quantum gravitational corrections are achieved in both extremal and non-extremal limits of black hole temperature by designing a common Euclidean gravity setup that evaluates the “logarithmic term” from one-loop effective actions via heat kernel method-based calculations. EMD theories are universal building blocks of compactified string theory or supergravity models in 4D. For a concrete example, we generalize the entire setup and calculate logarithmic corrections for black holes in U(1)2-charged EMD models intersecting with $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 ungauged and gauged bosonic supergravity. In contrast to flat backgrounds, all the AdS4 results are found to be non-topological, providing a wider “infrared window” into the microscopic degrees of freedom of black holes in string theory.- 6 March 2023
