Summary: In this study, WZW models living on a moduli space parameterized by current-current deformations were explored, revealing the ensemble of conformal field theories and their impact on conserved currents and central charge. The average partition function was calculated and interpreted as a sum over 3-manifolds, suggesting a holographic dual for the ensemble-averaged theory. At a perturbative level, the bulk theory was identified as U(1)(2N) Chern-Simons theory coupled to additional matter fields, with a key mathematical result being the Siegel-Weil formula for the characters of an affine Lie algebra.

Summary: In this paper, we discuss ensemble averages of two-dimensional conformal field theories associated with an arbitrary indefinite lattice with integral quadratic form Q, and provide evidence that the holographic dual after the ensemble average is the three-dimensional Abelian Chern-Simons theory with kinetic term determined by Q. The resulting partition function can be written as a modular form expressed as a sum over the partition functions of Chern-Simons theories on lens spaces. For odd lattices, the dual bulk theory is a spin Chern-Simons theory, and several novel phenomena in this case are identified. The holographic duality prior to averaging is also discussed in terms of Maxwell-Chern-Simons theories.

Summary: The paper provides the most general solution to Chern-Simons AdS(3) gravity in Fefferman-Graham gauge and introduces a variational principle for Dirichlet boundary conditions in the Chern-Simons formalism. It demonstrates how to handle other choices of boundary conditions, such as mixed boundary conditions corresponding to a TT-deformation, using this variational principle as the starting point.

Summary: We use the quantum spectral curve to compute the Hagedorn temperature for ABJM theory and obtain consistent results with known results for both weak and strong coupling. We numerically compute the dependence at strong coupling and find that it is consistent with expectations from supergravity and the plane-wave limit.

Summary: This article discusses the Cartan geometric approach to (extended) supergravity in the presence of boundaries, focusing on deriving the Holst variant of the MacDowell-Mansouri action for N = 1 and N = 2 pure AdS supergravity in D = 4 under arbitrary Barbero-Immirzi parameters. The close connection between the Barbero-Immirzi parameter and the theta-ambiguity of gauge theory is highlighted, along with the unique boundary term corresponding to a super Chern-Simons theory with OSp(N|2) gauge group when demanding supersymmetry invariance at the boundary.

Summary: The study focuses on the large-N limit of superconformal index for two strongly interacting Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions with N=2 supersymmetry, comparing the results with the AdS/CFT dual. The agreement and persistence of duality were confirmed, with a need for refinement of the gravity index in the case of mABJM to reflect enhanced global symmetry in the UV description on the field theory side.

Summary: In this study, we examine the superconformal index of 4d N = 4 USp(2N(c)) and SO(N-c) SYM from a matrix model perspective, focusing on the Cardy-like limit. We find that in both symplectic and orthogonal cases, the index is predominantly determined by a saddle point solution, leading to a matrix integral calculation involving pure Chern-Simons theory on the three-sphere. Additionally, we calculate the subleading logarithmic corrections and study the Leigh-Strassler fixed point with SU(N-c) gauge group, determining the entropy of the dual black hole through a Legendre transform.

Summary: We study the Cardy-like limit of the superconformal index for generic N = 1 SCFTs, providing strong evidence for a universal formula that captures the behavior of the index at finite order in rank and angular momentum fugacities. Our proposal is validated by studying several examples beyond the well-understood toric class. Additionally, we compute the index for models without a weakly-coupled gravity dual, with gravitational anomalies not of order one.

Summary: In this work, the surface charges and associated algebra in T(T) over bar deformed theories are constructed using the Chern-Simons formalism of AdS(3) gravity from a mixed boundary condition perspective. The charge algebra is found to be a non-linear deformed Virasoro algebra, and a method is proposed to construct time-independent charges that satisfy the field-dependent Virasoro algebra.

Summary: In this study, we examine the behavior of rigidly rotating and pulsating strings in the background of a 1+1 dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of fivebranes in type IIB string theory using the Neumann-Rosochatius (NR) model. By employing a generalized ansatz, we reduce the system to the one dimensional NR model in the presence of flux. The integrable construction of the model allows us to analyze the rotating and oscillating string solutions.

Summary: This paper studies the Schur index of N = 4 U(N) SYM theory in 4d and its holographic giant graviton-type expansion at finite N. The world-volume brane superconformal index is computed using a recently proposed definition of the gauge holonomy integral as a multivariate residue. The brane expansion and its relation to previous giant graviton-type representations of the Schur index are clarified.

Summary: This study discusses the holographic description of Narain U(1)(c) x U(1)(c) conformal field theories, proposing a hypothesis that the density of states of any Narain theory in the large central charge limit is bounded by the density of states of U(1) gravity. Testing this proposal using chiral lattice CFTs and CFTs based on quantum stabilizer codes reveals new bounds on quantum stabilizer codes and the exponentially small density variance in the central charge limit.

Summary: In this study, the Poincare series method was used to compute gravity partition functions for SU(N)(1) WZW models with varying modular invariants. The results showed an average over these invariants, with weights determined by inverting a matrix, which was specially formulated for the chosen models. It was found that for the identity seed, the weights were consistently positive for all values of N, indicating a dual relationship between each model and an ensemble average over CFT's.

Summary: In this study, we apply the conjecture of gravitational building blocks to analyze M-theory on S-7/Z(k). By utilizing the known localization results for the holographically dual ABJM theory, we determine higher derivative corrections to the AdS(4) supergravity, quantum corrections, and predict ABJM observables using the uniquely fixed gravitational block.

Summary: The study focuses on constructing supersymmetric AdS solutions in 5-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity, which can uplift to smooth solutions of type IIB supergravity on regular Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. These solutions are dual to d = 2, H = (0, 2) SCFTs, and it is shown that the central charge of the gravity solution matches with a field theory calculation involving D3-branes wrapped on Sigma.

Summary: The article presents families of supersymmetric AdS(3) x Y-7 and AdS(3) x Y-8 solutions in IIB string theory and M-theory, respectively. The solutions are interpreted as near-horizon limits of N D3-branes wrapped on Sigma and N M5-branes wrapped on Sigma (g) x Sigma, corresponding to holographically dual to d=2, (0,2) SCFTs. The central charge and superconformal R-symmetry of the gravity solutions are shown to agree with dual field theory calculations.

Summary: The study constructs supersymmetric solutions of D = 7 gauged supergravity, which uplift to D = 11 supergravity solutions on S4 and have orbifold singularities. These solutions are argued to be dual to d = 4, N = 1 SCFTs arising from N M5-branes wrapped on a spindle embedded in a Calabi-Yau three-fold. In the infrared, the superconformal R-symmetry mixes with the isometry of the spindle.

Summary: In the context of holography, this paper analyzes supersymmetric geometries based on two-dimensional orbifolds known as spindles. By analyzing spinc spinors on a spindle with an azimuthal rotation symmetry, the paper reveals two possibilities: twist and anti-twist, determined by the quantized magnetic flux through the spindle. The paper constructs solutions of gauged supergravity theories in D = 5 and D = 4 that are dual to D3-branes and M2-branes wrapping spindles, respectively, and discusses M5-branes wrapped on spindles from both a gravity and a field theory perspective.

Summary: In this study, supersymmetric AdS(3) solutions of D = 11 supergravity dual to d = 2, N = (0, 2) SCFTs associated with M5-branes wrapping two different four-dimensional orbifolds were constructed. Central charges of the d = 2 SCFTs calculated from the gravity solutions were shown to agree with field theory computations using anomaly polynomials. The new D = 11 solutions were obtained through a Kaluza-Klein truncation of maximal D = 7 gauged supergravity reduced on a spindle down to D = 5 minimal gauged supergravity.

Summary: This article introduces an entropy function for supersymmetric accelerating black holes in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space that can lift general Sasaki-Einstein manifolds X-7 to M-theory solutions. This allows for the computation of black hole entropy without knowing the explicit solutions. A dual holographic microstate counting can be obtained by computing certain supersymmetric partition functions of Chern-Simons-matter theories compactified on a spindle. A general prediction for a class of such partition functions in terms of blocks, each constructed from the partition function on a three-sphere, is made.

Summary: In this paper, we construct a family of multidyonically charged and rotating supersymmetric AdS(2) x Sigma solutions. We argue that these solutions arise as near horizon limits of extremal dyonically charged rotating and accelerating supersymmetric black holes in AdS(4). We demonstrate this by constructing the accelerating black hole solutions and showing that the nonspinning spindle solutions arise as the near horizon limit of the supersymmetric and extremal subclass of these black holes. Furthermore, we compute the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the black holes and show that it can be obtained by extremizing a simple entropy function. For appropriately quantized magnetic fluxes, the solutions uplift to smooth supersymmetric solutions to D = 11 supergravity.

Summary: The study focuses on the thermodynamics of AdS(4) black hole solutions of Einstein-Maxwell theory, analyzing accelerating, rotating, and charged black holes. By using holography, the Euclidean on-shell action is calculated and a set of conserved charges are defined to establish the first law. By identifying a complex locus of supersymmetric and nonextremal solutions through an analytic continuation of parameters, a simple expression for the on-shell action is obtained, leading to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for a class of supersymmetric and extremal black holes.

Summary: The study explores accelerating, rotating, and dyonically charged black hole solutions in AdS 4, showing that D = 4 black hole metrics have conical singularities when the acceleration is nonvanishing. By uplifting to D = 11 supergravity and eliminating conical singularities, new regular supersymmetric AdS solutions are derived. The entropy of these black holes can potentially be derived from certain gauge theories in spinning spindle compactifications.
