Effervescent Spikes in M-theory
Iosif Bena, Raphaël Dulac, Dimitrios Toulikas +1
AdS S S solutions warped over a Riemann surface, , are indexed by a parameter, , that defines the superconformal algebra, $D(2,1; γ) \oplus D(2,1; γ…

Effective Microstructure
Iosif Bena, Raphaël Dulac, Emil J. Martinec +3
In AdS/CFT duality, there are large families of smooth, horizonless microstate geometries that correspond to heavy pure states of the dual CFT. The metric and fluxes are co…

Microstate Geometries
Iosif Bena, Nicholas P. Warner
We review the 20-year history of the Microstate Geometry Programme and the essential role that supergravity has played, and will continue to play, in the description of black-hole…
