Generating Rotation in a Snap

Soumangsu Chakraborty, Pierre Heidmann, Gela Patashuri

We build a technique to generate rotation from arbitrary static solutions that asymptote to four- or five-dimensional Minkowski spacetime based on Clément's approach [1]. The metho…

Branes and Antibranes in AdS: The Impossible States in the CFT Gap

Roberto Emparan, Pierre Heidmann

We construct a new family of type IIB supergravity solutions corresponding to states of the D1-D5-P-KKm system that carry the same charges and energy as the non-extremal four-charg…

Asymptotically Flat Rotating Topological Stars

Pierre Heidmann, Paolo Pani, Jorge E. Santos

We construct a new class of smooth, horizonless, non-supersymmetric solutions in five-dimensional minimal supergravity, which we call rotating topological stars. Built from a Kerr-…

The Great Impersonation: -Solitons as Prototypical Black Hole Microstates

Alexandru Dima, Pierre Heidmann, Marco Melis +2

We analyze a new class of static, smooth geometries in five-dimensional supergravity, dubbed -solitons. They carry the same mass and charges as four-dimensional Reissn…

Fermionic Love of Black Holes in General Relativity

Sumanta Chakraborty, Pierre Heidmann, Paolo Pani

Black holes in General Relativity exhibit a remarkable feature: their response to static scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational perturbations -- as quantified by the so-called…

Tidal Disruption in Topological Solitons and the Emergence of an Effective Horizon

Pierre Heidmann, Gela Patashuri

We compute the dynamics of particles and strings falling into smooth horizonless spacetimes that match the Schwarzschild black hole but replace its horizon with a smooth cap in sup…
