Black Holes as Effective Geometries
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jan de Boer, Sheer El-Showk +1
Gravitational entropy arises in string theory via coarse graining over an underlying space of microstates. In this review we would like to address the question of how the classical…
The Gravitational Description of Coarse Grained Microstates
Luis F. Alday, Jan de Boer, Ilies Messamah
In this paper we construct a detailed map from pure and mixed half-BPS states of the D1-D5 system to half-BPS solutions of type IIB supergravity. Using this map, we can see how gra…
What is the dual of a dipole?
Luis F. Alday, Jan de Boer, Ilies Messamah
We study gravitational solutions that admit a dual CFT description and carry non zero dipole charge. We focus on the black ring solution in AdS_3 x S^3 and extract from it the one-…
