| description | Quiver quantum mechanics describes the low energy dynamics of a system of wrapped D-branes. It captures several aspects of single and multicentered BPS black hole geometries in four-dimensional N = 2 supergravity such as the presence of bound states and an exponential growth of microstates. The Coulomb branch of an Abelian three node quiver is obtained by integrating out the massive strings connecting the D-particles. It allows for a scaling regime corresponding to a deep AdS2 throat on the gravity side. In this scaling regime, the Coulomb branch is shown to be an SL(2, ℝ) invariant multi-particle superconformal quantum mechanics. Finally, we integrate out the strings at finite temperature — rather than in their ground state — and show how the Coulomb branch ‘melts’ into the Higgs branch at high enough temperatures. For scaling solutions the melting occurs for arbitrarily small temperatures, whereas bound states can be metastable and thus long lived. Throughout the paper, we discuss how far the analogy between the quiver model and the gravity picture, particularly within the AdS2 throat, can be taken. |
