Wrapped M5-branes and AdS5 black holes

Abstract

We use consistent truncations in supergravity to show that the backreaction of N rotating M5-branes wrapped on a Riemann surface leads to asymptotically AdS5 black hole solutions of 11d supergravity. We discuss the thermodynamic properties of these black holes focusing on their supersymmetric limit. The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the supersymmetric black holes scales as N3 and can be reproduced by the superconformal index of the holographically dual 4d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 SCFTs of class $$ \mathcal{S} $$ S .
