Simple holographic duals to boundary CFTs
Marco Chiodaroli, Eric D'Hoker, Michael Gutperle
By relaxing the regularity conditions imposed in arXiv:1107.1722 on half-BPS solutions to six-dimensional Type~4b supergravity, we enlarge the space of solutions to include two new…
Conical Defects in Higher Spin Theories
Alejandra Castro, Rajesh Gopakumar, Michael Gutperle +1
We study conical defect geometries in the SL(N) Chern-Simons formulation of higher spin gauge theories in AdS_3. We argue that (for N\geq 4) there are special values of the deficit…
Janus Black Holes
Dongsu Bak, Michael Gutperle, Romuald A. Janik
In this paper Janus black holes in AdS3 are considered. These are static solutions of an Einstein-scalar system with broken translation symmetry along the horizon. These solutions…
Exact half-BPS string-junction solutions in six-dimensional supergravity
Marco Chiodaroli, Eric D'Hoker, Yu Guo +1
We construct SO(2,1) x SO(3)-invariant half-BPS solutions in six-dimensional (0,4) supergravity with m tensor multiplets. The space-time manifold of each one of these solutions con…
Spacetime Geometry in Higher Spin Gravity
Martin Ammon, Michael Gutperle, Per Kraus +1
Higher spin gravity is an interesting toy model of stringy geometry. Particularly intriguing is the presence of higher spin gauge transformations that redefine notions of invarianc…
Higher Spin Black Holes
Michael Gutperle, Per Kraus
We study classical solutions of three dimensional higher spin gravity in the Chern-Simons formulation. We find solutions that generalize the BTZ black hole and carry spin-3 charge.…
