Zooming out of AdSSS: The Branes behind the CFT's
Iosif Bena, Antoine Bourget, Raphaël Dulac +2
We reveal the supersymmetric brane configurations that give rise to AdSSS supergravity solutions, which are holographic duals to three-dimensional CFT…
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…
The M2-M5 Mohawk
Iosif Bena, Soumangsu Chakraborty, Dimitrios Toulikas +1
We show that the near-brane back-reaction of M2 branes ending on M5 branes has a rich "spike structure" that is determined by partitioning the numbers of M2 branes that are termina…
Waves on Mazes
Iosif Bena, Raphaël Dulac, Anthony Houppe +2
One way to describe the entropy of black holes comes from partitioning momentum charge across fractionated intersecting brane systems. Here we construct -BPS solutions…
