Abstract

Through the gauge-gravity duality, certain field theory quantities can provide a microscopic description of the degrees of freedom responsible for the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of black holes. In this paper, the authors develop a powerful numerical method to study the supersymmetric index on the gauge theory side, and show how certain aspects of a class of (AdS) black holes can be extracted.
