Description
The study of black hole microstates in string theory is an
important problem, which offers the potential to resolve the
information paradox. I will present a new family of D1-D5-P
supergravity solutions, whose dual CFT states exhibit the
important feature that the momentum charge is fractionated.
I will then describe recent work on constructing a more
general class of black hole microstate geometries. This
class includes solutions that have arbitrarily small angular
momenta, deep within the regime of quantum numbers and
couplings for which a large classical black hole exists. I
will close with a discussion of the physics of an observer
falling into a black hole.
