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…
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…
Snowmass White Paper: Micro- and Macro-Structure of Black Holes
Iosif Bena, Emil J. Martinec, Samir D. Mathur +1
The black-hole information paradox provides a stringent test of would-be theories of quantum gravity. String theory has made significant progress toward a resolution of this parado…
