Black holes in 4d \$N=4\$ Super-Yang-Mills

Abstract

We resolve a long-standing question: does the four-dimensional \$N=4\$ SU(N) Super-Yang-Mills theory on \$S^3\$ at large N contain enough states to account for the entropy of rotating electrically-charged BPS black holes in AdS\$\_5\$? Our answer is positive. We reconsider the large N limit of the superconformal index, using the Bethe Ansatz formulation, and find an exponentially large contribution which exactly reproduces the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the black holes of Gutowski-Reall. Besides, the large N limit exhibits a complicated structure, with many competing exponential contributions and Stokes lines, hinting at new physics.
