Description

Abstract: I will discuss a construction of supersymmetric hairy black holes in AdS5, motivated by an analysis of fortuitous states in N=4 SYM. Based on this construction, I will propose a microcanonical phase diagram in AdS5, exhibiting qualitative agreement with the numerically computed superconformal index. This perspective provides new insight into the structure of black hole microstates.
