Derive the phase term directly in the three-center formalism
Derive the chemical-potential-independent phase term for the three-center black ring and black lens actions directly within the relevant action formalism, rather than inferring its value solely from the requirement that the n-to-zero limit be smooth.
References
Although a rigorous derivation of this phase may be possible within the formalism of, we have not carried out a corresponding explicit computation. Its value is instead inferred from the requirement that the limit $n\to 0$ be smooth.
