Large $N$ Partition Functions of 3d Holographic SCFTs

Abstract: We study the $S^1\times\Sigma_{\mathfrak g}$ topologically twisted index and the squashed sphere partition function of various 3d $\mathcal N\geq2$ holographic superconformal field theories arising from M2-branes. Employing numerical techniques in combination with well-motivated conjectures we provide compact closed-form expressions valid to all orders in the perturbative $1/N$ expansion for these observables. We also discuss the holographic implications of our results for the topologically twisted index for the dual M-theory Euclidean path integral around asymptotically AdS$_4$ solutions of 11d supergravity. In Lorentzian signature this leads to a prediction for the corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a class of static asymptotically AdS$_4$ BPS black holes.
