1 Introduction and review
Indices carry important information about the spectrum of dyons in string theory. In particular, in four dimensional string theories the helicity trace index, dened by [1, 2]
B2n = 1
(2n)!Tr
h(1)2h (2h)2n[bracketrightBig]
receives contributions only from those BPS states in the string theory which break less than 4n supersymmetries. Here the trace is over all states in the string theory that carry some specied electric and magnetic charges. This has now been computed exactly for a wide class of N = 4 and N = 8 string theories [315]. In an expansion in large charges it
may be shown that this reproduces the correct semiclassical entropy of an extremal black hole carrying the same charges as the dyons. In many cases, higher-derivative and quantum corrections have also been computed on the macroscopic side and the results have been successfully matched with the corresponding corrections computed from the microscopic formula. We refer the reader to the reviews [1619] covering various aspects of this program for details and a more complete set of references. The computation of the quantum corrections is performed using the formalism of the Quantum Entropy Function [20, 21]. This proposal exploits the fact that the near-horizon geometry of extremal black holes always contains an AdS2 factor [22, 23]. In particular, for spherically symmetric black holes

in four dimensions, the near-horizon geometry, embedded in 10-dimensional supergravity, contains an AdS2 S2 factor coupled to background U(1) uxes and scalar elds. The
entire conguration is completely determined by the SO(2, 1)SO(3) isometry of the solu
tion, along with the electric and magnetic charges carried by the black hole. In Euclidean signature, this conguration is given by

where the background has r U(1) uxes and s scalar elds, and a is a function of the electric and magnetic charges of the black hole, determined in terms of the ei, pi

Using this fact it has been argued that the quantum degeneracy dhor (~q) associated
with the horizon of an extremal black hole carrying charges ~q qi is given by the unnor
malized string path integral, with a Wilson line insertion, over all eld congurations that asymptote to the attractor geometry of the black hole. In particular, [20, 21]

The subscript nite reminds us that the path integral naively contains a volume divergence due to the presence of the AdS2 factor. Regulating this divergence is carried out in accordance with the AdS/CFT correspondence. Though (1.3) computes a degeneracy rather than an index, it may be shown that one may use this expression to compute the helicity trace index as well, which can then be compared with the microscopic results [24].
Since its proposal, the conjecture of [20, 21] has been put to a variety of tests. Firstly, the leading saddle-point of the path integral is the attractor conguration (1.2) itself, and it may be shown that the value of the path integral (1.3) at this saddle-point is the exponential of the Wald entropy associated with the black hole. Further, by expanding the massless elds of four-dimensional supergravity in quadratic uctuations about this saddle-point, the logarithmic correction to the Wald entropy may be extracted from (1.3) and matched with the microscopic answer [25]. This has been successfully carried out for the 14 -BPS black holes in N = 4 supergravity and
18 -BPS black holes in N = 8 supergravity [26, 27]
and for rotating extremal black holes in [28]. The corresponding expressions for 12 -BPS
black holes in N = 2 supergravity have also now been obtained [29], however in this case
the microscopic results are so far not available. Recently, [30] presented a new approach to the computation of logarithmic terms from (1.3) which greatly simplies the intermediate steps encountered in the calculations of [2729]. We also note here that (1.3) has been exactly evaluated for N = 4 and N = 8 string theories using localisation in [3135] and
the answer obtained precisely reproduces the microscopic expressions computed from the indices Bn.
Further, if we restrict ourselves to special subspaces of the moduli space which admit discrete symmetry transformations generated by an element g and also require that the charges of the dyons be g-invariant, then we may dene twisted indices as
Bg2n
1 (2n)!Tr
hg (1)2h (2h)2n[bracketrightBig]. (1.4)

The group generated by g is taken to be isomorphic to ZN. These indices were computed in [36, 37], and a proposal for their macroscopic interpretation was also presented in [36]. In particular, [36] considered Type II string theory compactied on M T 2, where M
could be either T 4 or K3, and g was the generator of a geometric ZN symmetry that acts on M and preserves 16 supercharges. The twisted index Bg6, which receives contributions
from dyonic states which preserve 4 supersymmetries all of which are g-invariant, was then computed. It was found that the answer in the large-charge limit takes the form [17]
Bg6 (Q, P ) = e
SBH
N + O (1) , (1.6)i.e. the logarithmic correction to the entropy vanishes. Here
SBH =
qQ2P 2 (Q P )2, (1.7)
the Wald entropy of an extremal black hole carrying electric and magnetic charges (Q, P ). This is also the asymptotic expansion arrived at from Type IIB string theory on the CHL orbifold [37]. In this paper we shall show how this result arises from a macroscopic computation of the kind performed in [26, 27, 38, 39] for the entropy of the black hole.
Before we do so, we briey review the proposal made in [36] regarding the macroscopic interpretation of the index Bg6. The key ingredient of the proposal is that Bg6 is indeed captured by a string path integral of the type (1.3) in AdS2. However, the path integral must now be carried out over elds which obey twisted boundary conditions along the -circle of the AdS2. In particular, as shifts by 2 the elds must transform by g. This partition function was denoted by Zg in [36]. When we impose these boundary conditions then the attractor geometry itself is no longer an admissible saddle-point of the path integral as the -circle is contractible in the interior of AdS2, which leads to a singularity. Let us instead consider the following ZN orbifold of the attractor geometry (1.2), generated by the identication
: (, ) 7
+ 2
N , 2N

Q2P 2(QP)2
N (O (1) + . . .) . (1.5)
Therefore, if we assign an entropy to the index by taking its logarithm then we nd that
ln |Bg6 (Q, P ) | =
JHEP11(2014)002
. (1.8)
Then it may be shown by an appropriate change of coordinates that the resulting eld conguration still asymptotes to the full attractor geometry (1.2). Additionally, this orbifold preserves enough supersymmetry that its contribution to the path integral (1.3) does not automatically vanish by integration over the fermionic zero modes associated to broken supersymmetries. For these reasons, these eld congurations are also admissible saddle-points of the quantum entropy function (1.3).1 Using these inputs, [36] proposed that Zg would receive contributions from the saddle-point obtained by imposing a ZN orbifold generated by the action of on the attractor geometry, with g-twisted boundary conditions
1These orbifolds have xed points at the origin of the AdS2 times the north or south poles of S2 and a priori it is not clear whether or not this is a consistent orbifold of string theory in the presence of background uxes. If however the 10-dimensional attractor geometry also contains a circle C which is non-contractible
imposed on the elds. It was further shown that the value of Zniteg at the saddle-point was
given by e
SBH
N , in agreement with the asymptotic growth of Bg6 from the microscopic side. In this paper we will show that the correspondence between Zg and Bg6 exists even at the quantum level. In particular, we will compute the log correction to the entropy
given by log Zg by expanding about the ZN orbifold of the black hole attractor geometry generated by the action of, where we impose g-twisted boundary conditions on the elds. We will nd that the answer vanishes, in accordance with the microscopic results. In order to compute log corrections, we shall use the fact that the contributions of the form log a to the partition function of a theory dened with a length scale a are completely determined from the one-loop uctuations about the saddle-point, where we may focus exclusively on massless elds and further neglect higher-derivative terms [25]. Therefore the only elds that can contribute to the log term in log Zg are the massless elds about its admissible saddle-points. We shall compute the log correction, focussing on modes which obey appropriate twisted boundary conditions, and nd that the answer vanishes. While we do this computation explicitly for N = 8 string theory obtained by compactifying
Type II string theory on T 6, this is only for deniteness and we shall see that the results obtained would carry over to the N = 4 case as well. We now give a brief overview of
the computation, emphasizing the overall strategy and the important di erences from the analyses previously carried out in [38] and [39]. We will decompose the N = 8 supergravity
multiplet into irreducible representations of the N = 4 subalgebra which commutes with
g. These are one N = 4 gravity multiplet, four N = 4 gravitini multiplets and six N = 4 vector multiplets, each of which are charged under g as enumerated in appendix A.
Importantly for us the N = 4 gravity multiplet is uncharged under g, and therefore obeys
untwisted boundary conditions. Its contribution to the logarithmic term in the large charge expansion of Zg is therefore identical to that computed in [39]. The contributions of the gravitini and vector multiplets are however di erent from [39], and are computed in this paper.
A brief overview of the paper is as follows. In section 2 we compute the heat kernel for scalars, Dirac fermions and discrete modes of the spin-1 and spin32 elds on
AdS2 S2
[parenrightbig]
/ZN with twisted boundary conditions. This is an extension of the analysis of [38] where the heat kernel over orbifold-invariant modes on these spaces was computed. We nd that the answer again assembles into a global part, which obeys untwisted boundary conditions, plus conical contributions which are nite in the limit where the heat kernel time t approaches zero. We put these results together to evaluate the contributions of
N = 4 vector and gravitino multiplets that obey twisted boundary conditions in section 3.
We nd that the contribution to the log term vanishes for any non-zero value of the twist. These results demonstrate explicitly that the log term in Bg6 vanishes for N = 8 string
at the origin of AdS2, then one way to avoid this potential pitfall is to accompany the orbifold (1.8) by a translation by 1
N units along C. The orbifold group then acts freely over the 10-dimensional attractor geometry. If the radius of the circle C does not scale with the AdS2 and S2 radii a, the precise details of the shift will not be relevant for us [25]. We do assume tacitly in our analysis that the generator includes such a shift along the internal directions as well. Such orbifolds have been explicitly dened in the 10-dimensional theory in [24, 40].

theory and N = 4 string theory. We then discuss how our results also prove that the log
term vanishes even about exponentially suppressed corrections to the leading asymptotic formula for Bg6 and conclude.
2 The heat kernel for the laplacian on AdS2 S2
[parenrightbig]
/ZN with twisted
boundary conditions
The goal of this paper is to compute logarithmic corrections to the partition function Zg dened as the path integral (1.3) with g-twisted boundary conditions. These corrections only receive contributions from the one-loop uctuations of massless elds over the ZN orbifold of the attractor geometry generated by. The one-loop partition function about this background is determined in terms of the determinant of the kinetic operator D evaluated over the spectrum of the theory. We shall dene this determinant by the means of the heat kernel method [41]. The discussion below has has also been reviewed in the present context in [38, 39] so we shall mainly recapitulate the key elements of the method.
We shall focus on operators of Laplace-type dened over elds on a manifold M with
a length scale a. The eigenvalues of such operators scale as 1
a2 and are denoted by na2 and the corresponding degeneracies are dn. With these inputs we may dene the integrated heat kernel (referred from now on as simply the heat kernel) as
K (t) =
Xndneta2 n. (2.1)
Then the determinant of D may be dened via
ln det D =
[integraldisplay]
JHEP11(2014)002
ds
1 s K (s) , (2.2)
where is a UV cuto and s = t
a2 . Therefore, ln det D contains a term proportional to
ln a, given by
ln det D = 2K1 ln a + . . . , (2.3)
where K1 is the O s0
[parenrightbig]
term in the small s expansion of the heat kernel K(t) and the . . . denote terms that are not of the form ln a. From this expression, the term proportional to ln a in ln Z may be extracted. Logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy have been
computed from the quantum entropy function in this manner in [2629, 38, 39]. We remind the reader that the small s expansion of the heat kernel is in general non-trivial and contains
1sn terms which have to be carefully computed. We will however nd useful simplications which enable us to analyze the problem e ciently.
Before proceeding further, we remind the reader that the analysis presented above has subtleties when the operator D is only positive semi-denite, i.e. has zero modes. In that case the one-loop partition function contains the determinant of D evaluated only over non-zero modes. The zero mode contribution needs to be analyzed separately [25 27, 42]. The kinetic operator for which we compute the heat kernel is the one studied in [26, 27, 38, 39]. This has zero modes over spin-2, spin32 and spin-1 elds. However, the
5
zero modes of the graviton and gravitino arise only within the N = 4 gravity multiplet [27]
which obeys untwisted boundary conditions in the path integral Zg and have therefore already been accounted in the analysis of [39]. Additionally, it may be shown that the log term for vectors may as well be extracted out by dening the heat kernel over all eigenvalues n, including the zero eigenvalue, and extracting the O s0
[parenrightbig]
term as before [26]. We will therefore ignore the presence of zero modes in our present analysis.
We now turn to the main computation of this section, which will provide us with the essential tools we need to compute logarithmic corrections to the partition function Zg.
These are the heat kernels of the Laplacian over scalar elds and of the Dirac operator over spin-12 elds on AdS2 S2
[parenrightbig]
/ZN, where the ZN orbifold is generated by. The heat kernel over the uctuations invariant under the-generated ZN orbifold was computed and the log term extracted in [38, 39]. The analysis of this section is entirely analogous, with the only di erence being that we now focus on modes which obey twisted boundary conditions under the orbifold. We nd that the essential steps carry over directly from [38, 39] with only minor modications. For this reason, we shall focus on the scalar on AdS2 S2
[parenrightbig]
to illustrate the steps and main modications and then mostly enumerate nal expressions for the spin-12 eld. Further, as has been shown in [26, 27], the higher-spin elds in the supergravity multiplets may be expanded in a basis obtained by acting on the scalar with the background metric and covariant derivatives and acting on the spin12 eld with gamma matrices and covariant derivatives. It turns out that the heat kernel over all quadratic uctuations may be organised into the heat kernel over scalars and spin12 fermions with appropriate multiplicities and shifts in eigenvalues. This will also be of great utility in our present analysis. Finally, we note that the heat kernel expression (2.1) contains both eigenvalues and degeneracies of the kinetic operator D. On manifolds like AdS2 the notion of degeneracy is subtle and requires a careful denition. It takes the form of the Plancherel measure [4345]. On quotients of AdS spaces, it turns out to be useful to exploit the fact that harmonic analysis on AdS is related to the sphere by an analytic continuation [4345]. By exploiting this analytic continuation, one may obtain the heat kernel and degeneracies of the Laplacian on these orbifolded spaces as well [38, 39, 46, 47]. We shall adopt this approach in this paper as well. In particular, we will consider the geometry given by
ds2 = a21 d2 + sin2 d2
[parenrightbig]
which is related via the analytic continuation
(a1, a2) 7(ia, a) , 7i, (2.5)
to the AdS2 S2 [parenrightbig]

Following the strategy of [38, 39, 46, 47], we will do the computation on S2 S2
/ZN. We will however need to be mindful of an important subtlety while performing this analytic continutation which arises due to a class of discrete modes of the vector and spin32 elds in AdS2 [43, 44]. These are normalisable eigenfunctions of the Laplacian over AdS2 which are not related to normalisable eigenfunctions of the Laplacian over S2. Their contribution is computed separately in section 2.3.

f,m (, ) =

and the Y,ns are the usual spherical harmonics on S2. We will impose the projection (2.7) generated by on the modes (2.9) as in [38]. The modes invariant under this orbifold are those for which m n = Np, where p is an integer. The heat kernel was computed over
such modes in [38]. We will look at the more general case for which

We will refer to these as q-twisted boundary conditions. However, as mentioned above, we will carry out the computation by imposing the projection (2.7) on eigenfunctions of the scalar Laplacian on S2 S2, which are given by

where and ~ are SU(2) Weyl characters. The analytic continuation proceeds in the same way as for the untwisted case [38, 39]. Firstly, the heat kernel over the unquotiented S2S2 gets continued to the heat kernel over AdS2 S2. Then the eigenvalue E~ gets continued
to E via (2.14), and the Weyl character ~ gets continued to the Harish-Chandra (global) character for sl(2, R) [48]

does S2 S2. Finally, the sum over

This is the expression we shall use to compute logarithmic corrections. It contains two terms. The rst is the heat kernel of the untwisted scalar evaluated on the unquotiented space AdS2 S2. The second term is the contribution of the conical singularities. As
observed in [39] for the untwisted modes, this term is nite in the limit where t approaches zero. Hence the contribution of this term to the O t0
[parenrightbig]

term in the heat kernel expansion is independent of the eigenvalue E. This will be of great utility in our further computations.
Finally we note that the expressions (2.18) and (2.20) are divergent due to the innite volume of AdS2. However, using the prescription of [20, 21] this divergence may be regulated and a well-dened nite term extracted even on these quotient spaces [38, 39]. Once this

is done, we obtain a well-dened expression for the degeneracy ds of the eigenvalue E in the q-twisted set of modes on AdS2 S2

terms of the heat kernel over scalars and spin12 elds [26, 27]. However, this analytic continuation fails to capture a set of discrete modes, labelled by a quantum number , on the AdS space for the spin-1 and higher spin elds [4345]. The heat kernel over such modes needs to be computed directly on AdS2 S2

Using the degeneracies (2.27) and (2.28), we can write down corresponding expressions for the heat kernels over these modes, though we do not do so explicitly here.
3 Logarithmic corrections to the twisted indexWe now turn to the computation of logarithmic corrections to Zg. We will carry out
this computation for Type II string theory on T 6. This compactication preserves 32 supercharges of which 16 commute with g. Also, as we have previously discussed, the only elds which can contribute to the log a term are the massless elds in AdS2 S2.
These are just the elds of four-dimensional N = 8 supergravity. We will therefore nd it
useful to organise the spectrum of N = 8 supergravity in terms of representations of the N = 4 subalgebra which commutes with g. All the elds in a single N = 4 multiplet are
characterised by a common g-eigenvalue which in turn dictates which twisted modes on AdS2 S2
[parenrightbig]
/ZN should the heat kernel be computed over. This information is summarised in table 1. In this section we shall compute the contribution of each multiplet in table 1 to the log term in Zg, which requires us to compute the contribution to Zg from quadratic
uctuations of massless elds about the ZN orbifold generated by the action (2.7) of on the attractor geometry of the black hole. To do so, we shall compute the heat kernel of the kinetic operator derived in [26, 27] about this orbifolded background, imposing g-twisted boundary conditions on the elds as we act on the background with. Therefore, the results of section 2 will be useful for us.
Finally, as in [26, 27, 38, 39], we need to compute the heat kernel over the supergravity elds taking into account their couplings to the background graviphoton uxes and scalar elds. As shown in [26, 27], the heat kernel over the various quadratic uctuations can be expressed in terms of the heat kernel over scalars, spin-12 fermions and discrete modes of
3We point out here that the modes with = 0 correspond to vector zero modes of the kinetic operator [26] and hence dvd=0 corresponds to the regularised number of vector zero modes of the kinetic operator.

higher-spin elds. The coupling to the background elds however changes the eigenvalues of the kinetic operator from those when elds are minimally coupled to background gravity. The new eigenvalues can in principle be computed by rediagonalising the kinetic operator. However, the ux does not change the degeneracy of the eigenvalue. Hence, to compute the heat kernel over the supergravity elds with our choice of background and boundary conditions, we can use the shifted eigenvalues computed in [26, 27] and the degeneracies computed in section 2. On doing so, we nd two more simplications that are of great benet. Firstly, as observed in [39], the contribution of the conical terms to the heat kernel is nite in the t 70 limit. Hence the contribution to the O t0
[parenrightbig]
term from the conical terms is insensitive to the eigenvalues and can be computed from the degeneracies. Secondly, the other contribution to the O t0
[parenrightbig]
term in the heat kernel originates from the O t0
[parenrightbig]
term in
the heat kernel computed for the full attractor geometry without imposing any twist on the boundary conditions. This has already been computed in [26, 27]. Using these results, and the g-charges computed in table 1, we can now compute the heat kernel over the various supergravity elds and extract the O t0
[parenrightbig]
term in the heat kernel, which will yield the log term. With these results, we now turn to the main computation of this paper.
We rstly note that the N = 4 gravity multiplet is g-invariant, and hence its heat
kernel should be computed over untwisted modes. It has already been shown in [38] that the contribution of these modes to the log term vanishes. Additionally, the contribution of any g-invariant N = 4 vector multiplet to the log term also vanishes [38]. Therefore we
shall concentrate on the gravitino multiplets and the N = 4 vector multiplets which carry
a non-trivial g charge, which corresponds to a non-zero twist in the boundary conditions. We nd below that the contribution of these multiplets also vanishes for any arbitrary choice of twisting. This is in contrast to the untwisted case where while the contribution of the vector multiplet did vanish, the gravitino multiplet contribution was non-vanishing and was responsible for the non-zero log correction the entropy of 18 -BPS black holes in
N = 8 supergravity [39].3.1 The heat kernel for the N = 4 vector multiplet
We will now put the results of section 2 together, using the arguments presented above, to prove the rst of our main results: the log correction in Zg receives vanishing contribution
from any N = 4 vector multiplet with q-twisted boundary conditions. As in [26, 38], the
heat kernel for any N = 4 vector multiplet receives contributions from two Dirac fermions,
6 real scalars and one gauge eld, along with two scalar ghosts. We will focus on the contribution of the conical terms to the O t0
[parenrightbig]
JHEP11(2014)002
term in the heat kernel. We denote this contribution by Kc (t; 0). Firstly the contribution from the two Dirac fermions is given by
KFc (t; 0) =

We now turn to the contribution from the integer-spin elds. These are the 6 real scalars, the gauge eld and two scalar ghosts. Two of the scalars mix with the gauge eld due to the graviphoton ux [26] and we have
KB = 4Ks + K(v+2s) 2Ks, (3.2)
11

2iqs
where Ks is the scalar heat kernel along AdS2 S2
[parenrightbig]
/ZN with q-twisted boundary conditions, and K(v+2s) is the heat kernel of the mixed vector-scalar elds due to the background graviphoton ux. As we have previously argued, to extract the t0 term from the xed-point contribution to the heat kernel, we dont have to take into account the coupling of the gauge eld to the scalars via the graviphoton ux and can just add the various contributions piecewise. We therefore nd that (3.2) reduces to
KBc = 6Ksc + Kvc 2Ksc = 4Ksc + Kvc. (3.3)
Ksc can be read o from (2.20), but we need to compute Kvc. As shown in [26], the heat kernel Kv of a vector eld over AdS2 S2 may be decomposed into K(v,s), which is the heat
kernel of a vector eld along AdS2 times the heat kernel of a scalar along S2 and K(s,v), the heat kernel of a vector eld along S2 times the heat kernel of a scalar along AdS2. Further, the modes of the vector eld along AdS2 and S2 may be further decomposed into longitudinal and transverse modes. There is an additional discrete mode contribution from the vector eld on AdS2. These statements carry over to the case of the ZN orbifolds with twisted boundary conditions as well. Kv therefore receives the following contributions.
Kv = K(vT +vL+vd,s) + K(s,vT +vL). (3.4)
Now the modes of longitudinal and transverse vector elds along AdS2 and S2 are in oneto-one correspondence with the modes of the scalar with the only subtlety being that along S2 the = 0 mode of the scalar does not give rise to a non-trivial gauge eld [26]. We therefore have
K(vT ,s) = K(vL,s) = Ks, K(s,vT ) = K(s,vL) = Ks K(s,=0), (3.5)
where, as we have mentioned previously, Ks is the scalar heat kernel along AdS2 S2 [parenrightbig]
with q-twisted boundary conditions, and K(s,=0) is again the scalar heat kernel along AdS2 S2
[parenrightbig]
/ZN, however we only sum over the modes with = 0 along the S2 direction. We therefore nd that the contribution of the conical terms (3.4) reduces to
Kvc (t; 0) = 4Ksc (t; 0) + K(vd,s)c (t; 0) 2K(s,=0)c (t; 0) . (3.6) Further, using (2.21), we may show that
K(s,=0)c (t; 0) = 1
4N
and that Ksc (t; 0) is given by
Xs=114 sin4 sNe2iqsN . (3.8)
Finally, using (2.27), K(vd,s)c (t; 0) is given by
K(vd,s)c (t; 0) =

ZN orbifold
of the attractor geometry is given, on imposing q-twisted boundary conditions, by
Kq = 1
N K + Kc (t; 0) + O (t) , (3.12)
where K is the heat kernel on the unquotiented near-horizon geometry. We therefore have, for the t0 term in the heat kernel expansion,
Kq (t; 0) = 1
N K (t; 0) + Kc (t; 0) (3.13)
We have shown in 3.11 that Kc (t; 0) equals zero. In addition, it was shown in [26] that K (t; 0) also vanishes. This implies that Kq (t; 0) also vanishes, which proves that the contribution to the log term from the vector multiplet vanishes even for q-twisted boundary conditions.4
3.2 The heat kernel for the N = 4 gravitino multiplets
We now compute the contribution of the N = 4 gravitino multiplets to the log term in Zg for N = 8 string theory. From table 1, we see that the N = 4 gravitino multiplets
obey q-twisted boundary conditions. There are four such multiplets, where the highest-weight eld is a Majorana spin32 fermion, which we organise into two multiplets where the highest-weight eld is a Dirac spin32 fermion. One multiplet obeys twisted boundary conditions with q = +1, and the other with q = 1. Further, since we are considering
quadratic uctuations, the background ux in the attractor geometry does not cause gravitino multiplets with di erent g-charge, and hence di erent q-twist, to mix with each other. We will therefore focus on the contribution of the log term from one q-twisted multiplet where the highest-weight eld is a Dirac spin32 fermion.
4We emphasize here that though the contribution of an N = 4 vector multiplet vanishes for both twisted and untwisted boundary conditions, the origin of the result is di erent in both cases. For the untwisted case, the zero and non-zero modes of the kinetic operator give non-vanishing contributions to the log term which cancel against each other [38], while for the twisted case these contributions are individually zero as shown in this section and in footnote 3 of this paper.
13
Now we shall compute the contribution of the conical terms to the t0 term in the heat kernel expansion for this multiplet. Firstly, we focus on the integer-spin elds. There are 8 gauge elds and 16 real scalars. Further, gauge xing introduces two ghost scalars for every gauge eld. Hence the contribution of the integer-spin elds to the O t0
[parenrightbig]
term from
the conical terms in the heat kernel is
KBc (t; 0) = 8Kvc (t; 0) + 16Ksc (t; 0) 16Ksc (t; 0) = 8Kvc (t; 0) , (3.14) which therefore implies that
KBc (t; 0) = 4

Xs=11sin4 sNe2iqsN8 N

Xs=11sin2 sNe2iqsN . (3.15)
We have used (3.6) with (3.7), (3.8) and (3.9) to arrive at this expression. We now turn to the contribution of the half-integer spin elds. We will focus on the contribution of one Dirac gravitino multiplet, which contains one Dirac gravitino and 7 Dirac spin-12 elds.
The degrees of freedom reorganise themselves into in 4 Dirac fermions with 0, 6 Dirac
fermions with only = 0 modes along the S2, 7 Dirac fermions with only 1 modes
along the S2, one discrete Dirac fermion, and 3 ghost Dirac fermions [27, 39]. We can then show that
KFc (t; 0) = 8Kfc (t; 0) K(f,=0)c (t; 0) + Kfdc (t; 0) , (3.16) where Kf is the heat kernel for the Dirac fermion, K(f,=0) is the heat kernel for the Dirac fermion with only = 0 modes along the S2 and Kfd is the heat kernel over one discrete Dirac fermion. Now
Kfc (t; 0) =

and
N1
Xs=1cos2 sNsin2 sNe2iqsN . (3.18)
Further, using (2.28), we nd that the discrete mode contribution from the conical terms is given by
Kfdc (t; 0) = + 2
N
N1
K(f,=0)c (t; 0) =
2 N
Xs=1cos2 sNsin2 sNe2iqsN . (3.19)
We nally obtain that the full half-integer spin contribution is given by

N1
Xs=11sin4 sNe2iqsN + 8 N
N1
Xs=11sin4 sNe2iqsN4 N
N1
Xs=1e2iqsN . (3.20)
Adding (3.15) and (3.20), we nd that the conical contribution to the t0 term in the heat kernel for a given value of q is
Kc (t; 0) =
4 N
N1
Xs=1e2iqsN = + 4N , (3.21)
14
which is independent of q. Then the contribution of the g-twisted N = 4 gravitino multi-
plets to the log term in Zg is given by
Kg (t; 0) = 1N K (t; 0) + 2Kc (t; 0) , (3.22)
where K (t; 0) is the coe cient of the t0 term in the heat kernel expansion of the gravitino multiplets about the unquotiented near-horizon geometry. This was computed to be 8
in [27]. We therefore nd that Kg (t; 0) is given by
Kg (t; 0) =
8N +
8N = 0. (3.23)
Hence, the contribution of the N = 4 gravitini multiplets to the logarithmic term in Zg
also vanishes.
3.3 The zero mode analysis
We will now take into account the presence of zero modes of the kinetic operator for N = 8
supergravity elds expanded about the black hole near horizon geometry. The nal result, as mentioned above, is that the zero mode analysis of [39] goes through unchanged, but since the zero mode analysis is an important part of the computation, we shall present the result explicitly. The following general result [26, 27], see also [42], will be useful for us. Consider a theory with a length scale a and elds i such that the kinetic operator for quadratic uctuations about a given background has n0i 0 number of zero modes.
Further, let the zero mode contribution to the path integral scale with a as
Z an
0i i
JHEP11(2014)002
Z0, (3.24)
where Z0 does not scale with a, and the numbers i have been explicitly determined in [27]
for the vector eld (see also [26]), the gravitino and the graviton. In particular
v = 1, 32 = 3, g = 2. (3.25)
In that case, the log term for the partition function is given by
ln Zlog = K (0; t) +
Xin0i (i 1) [parenrightBigg]ln a, (3.26)
where K (0; t) is the coe cient of the t0 term in the heat kernel expansion of the kinetic operator over of all elds i, evaluated on both zero and non-zero modes. Therefore, as far as the vector eld is concerned, we may simply evaluate the heat kernel over all modes, extract the t0 coe cient from there, and ignore zero modes. Further, for the N = 8
kinetic operator, all the zero modes of the spin32 and spin-2 elds are contained in the
N = 4 gravity multiplet [27]. This is quantised with untwisted boundary conditions and
its contribution has already been evaluated on the orbifold space in [39], where it was determined that
n3
2 = 2, ng = 2. (3.27)
15
3.4 Logarithmic corrections to the twisted index
Now we are in a position to put together the above results to show that the logarithmic corrections to the partition function Zg vanish for the N = 8 theory. To do so, we will
need the coe cients K (0; t) from the N = 4 vector, gravitini and gravity multiplets, as
well as the corresponding zero mode contributions. It has already been proven in [38] that an untwisted N = 4 vector multiplet has a vanishing contribution to the log term
about our background. Further, we have seen in section 3.1 that K (0; t) for the N = 4
vector multiplet with twisted boundary conditions vanishes, and in (3.23) that K (0; t) for the N = 4 gravitini multiplets with twisted boundary conditions also vanishes. Hence,
the only non-vanishing contributions to ln (Zg)log come from the N = 4 gravity multiplet,
which obeys untwisted boundary conditions. For this multiplet (see eq. 5.46 of [39])
K (0; t) = 2. (3.28)
Putting these results in (3.26) with (3.27), we nd that
ln (Zg)log = 0, (3.29)
which completes the proof that the logarithmic term in Zg vanishes, in accordance with
the microscopic results for Bg6 for N = 8 string theory.
4 ConclusionsIn this paper we exploited the heat kernel techniques developed in [38] to compute the logarithmic terms in the large charge expansion of the twisted index Bg6 in N = 8 string
theory. These vanish, matching perfectly with the microscopic computation. Further, the result may be extended to the N = 4 case as follows. Firstly, since g commutes
with all 16 supercharges in this case, we continue to classify elds into multiplets of the four-dimensional N = 4 supersymmetry algebra. Secondly, we need to focus only on the
massless supergravity elds over the near-horizon geometry as only these can contribute to the log term. Finally, the g action on the various N = 4 multiplets can be found out using
techniques similar to the ones employed in the N = 8 case. Since g acts geometrically
on the compact directions, the N = 4 gravity multiplet still does not transform, and
its contribution to the log term vanishes as per the analysis of [39]. The N = 4 vector
multiplets would carry non-trivial g-charges, corresponding to non-trivial q-twists for these elds in the path integral Zg. We have already seen that the contribution to the log term
from N = 4 vector multiplets vanishes for arbitrary twists q. Therefore, the log term
vanishes even for N = 4 string theory.
As a nal observation, we note that the microscopic expression for Bg6 contains exponentially suppressed corrections of the form
Bg6,p (Q, P ) e
JHEP11(2014)002
Q2P 2(QP)2
Np (O (1) + . . .) , p
Z+, p 2. (4.1)
Using the arguments of [38] for the untwisted index we nd that the logarithmic correction vanishes about these saddle-points as well. Following through the arguments of [36], a
16
natural candidate for the macroscopic origin of these corrections corresponds to a saddle-point of Zg obtained by taking a
ZNp orbifold of the attractor geometry, where again g-twisted boundary conditions should be imposed on the elds in the path integral. From the analysis presented in this paper, it follows that the log corrections to Zg vanish about
these saddle-points as well, which matches with the expectation from the microscopic side.

A The g-charges for the N = 8 supergravity eldsIn this appendix we shall review how the g-twist acts on the elds of four-dimensional
N = 8 supergravity. As g commutes with the N = 4 subalgebra of the full N = 8
algebra, we expect that the N = 8 gravity multiplet will decompose into N = 4 multiplets,
each of which carry some charge under g. We shall obtain these charges by working with Type IIB supergravity compactied on T 4 T 2 and studying the action of g on the
supergravity elds, which are the graviton hMN, the two-form BMN, the three-form ux CMNP and two 16-component Majorana-Weyl spinors.5 This action of the g-twist on the Type IIB supergravity elds compactied on T 4T 2 can be realised in an appropriate
complex coordinate system(z1, z2) on T 4 and (z3) on T 2 as [16].

These transformations can be thought of as individual rotations along the two cycles of T 4.
The g-action on the ten dimensional elds is realised as a eld transformation under the di erent representations of the Lorentz group. In the four dimensional theory obtained on compactication, the g-action may be thought of as an internal symmetry.
The compactication of the N = 2 supergravity elds on T 4T 2 gives one N = 8
gravity multiplet in 4 dimensions. This contains one graviton h, 8 spin32 Majorana elds, 28 spin-1 elds, 56 spin12 Majorana elds and 70 real scalars.

Table 1. g-Charges of the N =4 multiplets. It is natural to expect the gravity multiplet to remain
invariant since the 4D spacetime metric h is a spacetime eld and is una ected by coordinate transformations on the internal directions.
The spin-2 eld h is just the spacetime metric. The spin-1 elds come from Gm, Bm, Cmn and A. The scalars come from Gmn, Bmn, Am, Cmnp, dualizing the components Cm of the three-form eld, and the axion and the dilation. The origin of the 8 spin32 elds and 48 spin12 elds lie in the spin32 and spin-1/2 m multiplets obtained on compactication of the two 16 component Majorana-Weyl spinors over T 6. 8
of the remaining spin12 elds come from the compactication of the two ten-dimensional [10] spinors.
The g-twist commutes with 16 of the 32 supersymmetries. Hence we split the N = 8
gravity multiplet into one N = 4 gravity multiplet, four gravitino, and six vector multiplets.
All the members of a given N = 4 multiplet carry the same g-charge since g commutes
with the N = 4 subalgebra. The g-charge of every eld has been found to conform with
the g-charge of the multiplet it belongs to. The nal results of this computation have been summarised in table 1.

Abstract
We compute logarithmic corrections to the twisted index B ^sub 6^^sup g^ in four-dimensional ...... and ...... string theories using the framework of the Quantum Entropy Function. We find that these vanish, matching perfectly with the large-charge expansion of the corresponding microscopic expressions.
