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.
