Maze Topiary in Supergravity
Iosif Bena, Anthony Houppe, Dimitrios Toulikas +1
We show that the supergravity solutions for 1/4-BPS intersecting systems of M2 and M5 branes are completely characterized by a single ``maze'' function that satisfies a non-linear…
Microstrata
Bogdan Ganchev, Stefano Giusto, Anthony Houppe +2
Microstrata are the non-extremal analogues of superstrata: they are smooth, non-extremal (non-BPS) solitonic solutions to IIB supergravity whose deep-throat limits approximate blac…
Themelia: the irreducible microstructure of black holes
Iosif Bena, Nejc Čeplak, Shaun D. Hampton +3
We argue that the fundamental "atomic objects" in string theory are themelia: extended objects that have 16 supersymmetries locally. We show that all existing smooth horizonless mi…
TF1 Snowmass Report: Quantum gravity, string theory, and black holes
Daniel Harlow, Shamit Kachru, Juan Maldacena +35
We give an overview of the field of quantum gravity, string theory and black holes summarizing various white papers in this subject that were submitted as part of the Snowmass proc…
Elliptical and Purely NS Superstrata
Bogdan Ganchev, Anthony Houppe, Nicholas P. Warner
We analyze the BPS equations in the ``superstratum sector'' of three-dimensional gauged supergravity. We obtain multi-parameter supersymmetric solutions that include elliptical def…
Fuzzballs and Microstate Geometries: Black-Hole Structure in String Theory
Iosif Bena, Emil J. Martinec, Samir D. Mathur +1
The black-hole information paradox provides one of the sharpest foci for the conflict between quantum mechanics and general relativity and has become the proving-ground of would-be…
