Lifting of two-mode states in the D1-D5 CFT
Marcel R. R. Hughes, Samir D. Mathur, Madhur Mehta
We consider D1-D5-P states in the untwisted sector of the D1-D5 orbifold CFT where one copy of the seed CFT has been excited by a pair of oscillators, each being either bosonic or…
The universality of black hole thermodynamics
Samir D. Mathur, Madhur Mehta
The thermodynamic properties of black holes -- temperature, entropy and radiation rates -- are usually associated with the presence of a horizon. We argue that any Extremely Compac…
Universal lifting in the D1-D5 CFT
Bin Guo, Marcel R. R. Hughes, Samir D. Mathur +1
We consider D1-D5-P states in the untwisted sector of the D1-D5 orbifold CFT where one copy of the seed CFT has been excited with a left-moving superconformal primary. Despite bein…
Dynamical evolution in the D1D5 CFT
Bin Guo, Samir D. Mathur
It is interesting to ask: how does the radial space direction emerge from the CFT in gauge-gravity duality? In this context we resolve a long-standing puzzle with the gravity duals…
Are there echoes of gravitational waves?
Bin Guo, Samir D. Mathur
In several approaches to evading the information paradox, the semiclassical black hole is replaced by an Exotic Compact Object (ECO). It has been conjectured that gravitational wav…
Fuzzballs and Microstate Geometries: Black-Hole Structure in String Theory
Iosif Bena, Emil J. Martinec, Samir D. Mathur +1
The black-hole information paradox provides one of the sharpest foci for the conflict between quantum mechanics and general relativity and has become the proving-ground of would-be…
