AdS2 holography: mind the cap
A bstractAdS2 plays an extremely important role in black-hole physics. We construct several infinite families of supergravity solutions that are asymptotically AdS2 in the UV, and terminate in the IR…
Near-horizon microstates of the D1-D5-P black hole
We construct probe solutions in the attractor background of the five-dimensional D1-D5-P black hole which represent near-horizon microstates in the limit of large D1-charge. These generalize the…
Eternal black holes and superselection in AdS/CFT
It has been argued (i) that Lorentz-signature solutions with wormholes connecting n asymptotically AdS regions describe bulk quantum states dual to n entangled but non-interacting CFTs and (ii) that…
Massless black holes and black rings as effective geometries of the D1–D5 system
We compute correlation functions in the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence to study the emergence of effective spacetime geometries describing complex underlying microstates. The basic argument is that almost…
The small black hole illusion
Small black holes in string theory are characterized by a classically singular horizon with vanishing Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. It has been argued that higher- curvature corrections resolve the…
Microscopic description of black rings in AdS/CFT
TLDR
A microscopic description of the rings in the orbifold CFT governing the D1-D5-P system is proposed, which effectively splits into two parts: one part captures the supertube-like properties of the ring, and the other captures the entropy.
A toy black hole S-matrix in the D1-D5 CFT
A bstractTo model the process of absorption and emission of quanta by an extremal D1-D5 black hole in the dual CFT, we consider transitions between different Ramond vacua via absorption and emission…
The hot attractor mechanism: decoupling without deep throats
A bstractNon-extremal black holes in N=2$$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ supergravity have two horizons, the geometric mean of whose areas recovers the horizon area of the extremal black hole obtained from taking…
Supersymmetric Partition Functions in the AdS/CFT Conjecture
We study supersymmetric partition functions in several versions of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We present an Index for superconformal field theories in d = 3, 4, 5, 6. This captures all information…
Holographic 4-point correlators with heavy states
A bstractThe AdS/CFT duality maps supersymmetric heavy operators with conformal dimension of the order of the central charge to asymptotically AdS supergravity solutions. We show that by studying the…

Supersymmetric Conical Defects: Towards a string theoretic description of black hole formation
Conical defects, or point particles, in $AdS_3$ are one of the simplest non-trivial gravitating systems, and are particularly interesting because black holes can form from their collision. We embed…
General rotating black holes in string theory: Greybody factors and event horizons
We derive the wave equation for a minimally coupled scalar field in the background of a general rotating five-dimensional black hole. It is written in a form that involves two types of thermodynamic…

TLDR
Evidence is presented that degrees of freedom inside a black hole should not be viewed as independent from those outside the event horizon, and commutators of spacelike separated operators corresponding to ordinary low-energy observers in Minkowski space are strongly suppressed in string theory.
Resolving the black hole information paradox
The recent progress in string theory strongly suggests that formation and evaporation of black holes is a unitary process. This fact makes it imperative that we find a flaw in the semiclassical…
