Thermodynamic ensemble Euclidean path integral formulation of gravity at the semiclassical: [Gibbons, Hawking 76, York, 86] Z = d[g µν ]d[φ] exp{ii e [g µν, φ]}. For a system like black holes and black branes, exhibiting a thermodynamic behaviour, the partition function defines a free energy, which, within a saddle point approximation, corresponds to the Euclidean on-shell action with β = T 1. βf = ln Z = ii e [g, φ ], What are the thermodynamic variables?

BPS black holes in AdS 4 Solutions of N = 2 U(1)-gauged Supergravity, a truncation of SO(8)-gauged N = 8 supergravity [de Wit, Nikolai, 82, Duff & Liu, 99]. Interpolating geometry and scalar fields with nontrivial radial profile ds 2 = e 2U(r) dt 2 + e 2U(r) (dr 2 + e 2ψ(r) dω 2 ) [Cacciatori, Klemm, 09] Two main features wrt asymptotically flat solutions Magnetically charged p Λ g Λ = κ Dirac quantization condition between gravitino and black hole charges Preserve a smaller amount of Supersymmetry: 1 -BPS solutions 4 [A.G., Dall Agata - Hristov, Vandoren 11] They can be obtained as a compactification of M-theory on S 7, and asymptote to AdS 4 S 7. Charges and fluxes are then interpreted as M-branes constituents, they corresponds to BPS states in the dual ABJM theory. [Aharony at al. 08] A.
