Microstate Geometries and Entropy Enhancement
نویسنده
چکیده
In string theory, black-hole backgrounds are far from unique and there are large families of completely smooth, horizonless geometries with the same structure as a black hole from infinity down to the neighborhood of the black-hole horizon. These microstate geometries cap off in foam of topological bubbles. I review some of the recent progress in constructing these smooth horizonless geometries and discuss some of the physical implications.

Entropy enhancement and black hole microstates.
We show that the entropy of fluctuating two-charge supertubes placed in three-charge scaling microstate solutions depends on their "effective" charges, which in strong magnetic fields can be much larger than their charges. This leads to a much larger entropy than one naively would expect. Since fluctuating supertubes source smooth geometries in certain duality frames, we propose that such an en...

We construct smooth BPS three-charge geometries that resolve the zero-entropy singularity of the U(1)×U(1) invariant black ring. This singularity is resolved by a geometric transition that results in geometries without any branes sources or singularities but with non-trivial topology. These geometries are both ground states of the black ring, and nontrivial microstates of the D1-D5-P system. We...
متن کاملPlumbing the Abyss: Black Ring Microstates
We construct the first smooth, horizonless “microstate geometries” that have the same charges, dipole charges and angular momenta as a BPS black ring whose horizon is macroscopic. These solutions have exactly the same geometry as black rings, except that the usual infinite throat is smoothly capped off at a very large depth. If the solutions preserve a U(1)×U(1) isometry, then this depth is lim...

For extremal black holes the fuzzball conjecture says that the throat of the geometry ends in a quantum ‘fuzz’, instead of being infinite in length with a horizon at the end. For the D1-D5 system we consider a family of sub-ensembles of states, and find that in each case the boundary area of the fuzzball satisfies a Bekenstein type relation with the entropy enclosed. We suggest a relation betwe...
متن کاملNotes on Microstate Free Entropy of Projections
We study the microstate free entropy χproj(p1, . . . , pn) of projections, and establish its basic properties similar to the self-adjoint variable case. Our main contribution is to characterize the pair-block freeness of projections by the additivity of χproj (Theorem 4.1), in the proof of which a transportation cost inequality plays an important role. We also briefly discuss the free pressure ...
