Four-twist effects and monodromy in symmetric orbifold CFTs
Bin Guo, Shaun D. Hampton
Symmetric orbifold CFTs contain twist operators that can join and split copies of the CFT, leading to the creation of pairs from the vacuum. In this paper, we study the pair creati…

Bootstrapping multi-wound twist effects in symmetric orbifold CFTs
Bin Guo, Shaun D. Hampton
We investigate the effects of the twist-2 operator in 2D symmetric orbifold CFTs. The twist operator can join together a twist- state and a twist- state, creating a twist-$(M…

A 4d non-BPS NS-NS microstate
Soumangsu Chakraborty, Shaun D. Hampton
We construct a two-parameter four-dimensional non-BPS NS-NS smooth microstate solution that asymptotes to flat spacetime with a linear dilaton in type II superstring theory. From t…
