A Refined Count of BPS States in the D1/D5 System
Nathan Benjamin
We examine the low-lying quarter BPS spectrum of a 2d conformal field theory with target Sym at various points in the moduli space, and look at a more refined count than th…

Small Black Holes and Near-Extremal CFTs
Nathan Benjamin, Ethan Dyer, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +2
Pure theories of AdS quantum gravity are conjectured to be dual to CFTs with sparse spectra of light primary operators. The sparsest possible spectrum consistent with modular i…

Universal Bounds on Charged States in 2d CFT and 3d Gravity
Nathan Benjamin, Ethan Dyer, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +1
We derive an explicit bound on the dimension of the lightest charged state in two dimensional conformal field theories with a global abelian symmetry. We find that the bound scales…
