In this paper, we utilize Euclidean gravity to derive a simple formula for the density of black hole microstates in each irreducible representation of any finite gauge group. Our result provides a new proof of the completeness hypothesis for finite gauge fields, as each representation appears with a nonzero density. Inspired by the generality of our argument, we also propose that the formula applies to high energy situations in any quantum field theory with a finite-group global symmetry and present some evidence for this conjecture.
In this paper we use Euclidean gravity to derive a simple formula for the density of black hole microstates which transform in each irreducible representation of any finite gauge group. Since each representation appears with nonzero density, this gives a new proof of the completeness hypothesis for finite gauge fields. Inspired by the generality of the argument we further propose that the formula applies at high energy in any quantum field theory with a finite-group global symmetry, and give some evidence for this conjecture.
