abstract

We derive a $U$-duality invariant formula for the degeneracies of BPS multiplets in a D1-D5 system for toroidal compactification of the type II string. The elliptic genus for this system vanishes, but it is found that BPS states can nevertheless be counted using a certain topological partition function involving two insertions of the fermion number operator. This is possible due to four extra toroidal U(1) symmetries arising from a Wigner contraction of a large $\mathcal{N}=4$ algebra $\mathcal{A}_{\kappa,\kappa'}$ for $\kappa' \to \infty$. We also compare the answer with a counting formula derived from supergravity on $AdS_3\times S^3 \times T^4$ and find agreement within the expected range of validity.

The Resolved Elliptic Genus and the D1-D5 CFT

hep-th · 2026-03-18 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

The resolved elliptic genus refines the supersymmetry index for the D1-D5 CFT by summing only over symmetry sectors that mix under a deformed supercharge, yielding agreement with supergravity below the black-hole threshold where the modified elliptic genus is trivial.

Chaos of Berry curvature for BPS microstates

hep-th · 2026-04-25 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Berry curvature of BPS states is random-matrix-like for supersymmetric black hole microstates but non-random and often zero for horizonless geometries, offering a chaos diagnostic in degenerate sectors.

Towering Gravitons in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$

hep-th · 2026-04-22 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A procedure dresses supergravitons with singletons to extend the BPS gravity-sector spectrum in AdS3/CFT2, yielding affine multiplets that match the D1-D5 CFT better after deformation up to higher levels.
