abstract

We construct an exact metric which at short distances is the metric of massless particles in 5+1 spacetime (moving along a diameter of the sphere) and is AdS_3\times S^3 at infinity. We also consider a set of a conical defect spacetimes which are locally AdS_3\times S^3 and have the masses and charges of a special set of chiral primaries of the dual orbifold CFT. We find that excitation energies for a scalar field in the latter geometries agree exactly with the excitations in the corresponding CFT state created by twist operators: redshift in the geometry reproduces `long circle' physics in the CFT. We propose a map of string states in AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4 to states in the orbifold CFT, analogous to the recently discovered map for AdS_5\times S^5. The vibrations of the string can be pictured as oscillations of a Fermi sea in the CFT.

Non-planar corrections in the symmetric orbifold

hep-th · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Non-planar corrections lift degeneracies in the spectrum of quarter BPS states in Sym^N(T^4) and introduce level repulsion plus random matrix statistics, showing integrability is restricted to the large N planar limit.

Interpolating between multi-center microstate geometries

hep-th · 2021-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Constructs a 2-center helical-profile solution that interpolates between two circular-profile Lunin-Mathur microstate geometries while exhibiting charge delocalization and transfer between centers.
