Title：

Semi-Universal entropy of CFTs at high spin

Abstract:

We argue that the entropy of all d-dimensional conformal field theories (studied on $S^{d-1}$ ) takes a semi-universal scaling form in a suitable high angular momentum limit. We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to test our prediction for strongly coupled N=4 Yang Mills theory, and find that the thermodynamics of this theory simplifies in the predicted manner in this limit, revealing phase transitions between scaling limits of black holes, grey galaxies and the supergravity gas.
