abstract

We consider all 1/2 BPS excitations of $AdS \times S$ configurations in both type IIB string theory and M-theory. In the dual field theories these excitations are described by free fermions. Configurations which are dual to arbitrary droplets of free fermions in phase space correspond to smooth geometries with no horizons. In fact, the ten dimensional geometry contains a special two dimensional plane which can be identified with the phase space of the free fermion system. The topology of the resulting geometries depends only on the topology of the collection of droplets on this plane. These solutions also give a very explicit realization of the geometric transitions between branes and fluxes. We also describe all 1/2 BPS excitations of plane wave geometries. The problem of finding the explicit geometries is reduced to solving a Laplace (or Toda) equation with simple boundary conditions. We present a large class of explicit solutions. In addition, we are led to a rather general class of $AdS_5$ compactifications of M-theory preserving ${\cal N} =2$ superconformal symmetry. We also find smooth geometries that correspond to various vacua of the maximally supersymmetric mass-deformed M2 brane theory. Finally, we present a smooth 1/2 BPS solution of seven dimensional gauged supergravity corresponding to a condensate of one of the charged scalars.

Moduli Spaces in CFT: Large Charge Operators

hep-th · 2024-06-27 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

CFTs with broken continuous global symmetry on the moduli space require a tower of charged local operators whose scaling dimensions are asymptotically linear in the charge.

Oscillators from non-semisimple walled Brauer algebras

hep-th · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Dimension corrections in non-semisimple walled Brauer algebras are counted via restricted Bratteli diagrams whose generating functions match the partition function of an infinite tower of simple harmonic oscillators.

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.

hep-th · 2026-03-30 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Corrected D3-brane actions with path-integral boundary terms reproduce two-point functions of giant graviton operators, while GHY boundary terms yield correlators for Δ~N² operators in LLM geometries.

Krylov Complexity for Plane Wave Matrix Model

hep-th · 2026-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In reduced BMN matrix models, Lanczos coefficients scale linearly with the mass parameter, producing quadratic corrections to early-time Krylov complexity growth at the same order for both state and operator versions.

Proposes complex matrix models for BPS correlators in N=4 SYM, relating eigenvalue distributions to LLM droplet shapes and enabling computations of one-point functions and three-point correlators via reductions to known models.

Fortuity and Complexity in a Simple Quark Model

hep-th · 2026-05-15 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

In a toy qubit model of quarks, baryons are fortuitous with exponential counting and super-exponential complexity while mesons are monotone with polynomial counting and power-law complexity.
