Dr Bert Vercnocke (University of Amsterdam)

Description

I will first review recent progress on 'microstate geometries', horizon-less solutions of string theory that play a role in the fuzzball proposal. Then I will discuss how gravitational collapse might end in a microstate geometry rather than in a black hole end state, through quantum tunneling.
