Black hole entropy function for toric theories via Bethe Ansatz

Abstract We evaluate the large-N behavior of the superconformal indices of toric quiver gauge theories, and use it to find the entropy functions of the dual electrically charged rotating AdS5 black holes.To this end, we employ the recently proposed Bethe Ansatz method, and find a certain set of solutions to the Bethe Ansatz Equations of toric theor
