abstract

In this review article we describe some of the recent progress towards the construction and analysis of three-charge configurations in string theory and supergravity. We begin by describing the Born-Infeld construction of three-charge supertubes with two dipole charges, and then discuss the general method of constructing three-charge solutions in five dimensions. We explain in detail the use of these methods to construct black rings, black holes, as well as smooth microstate geometries with black hole and black ring charges, but with no horizon. We present arguments that many of these microstate geometries are dual to boundary states that belong to the same sector of the D1-D5-P CFT as the typical states. We end with an extended discussion of the implications of this work for the physics of black holes in string theory.

Non-supersymmetric F1-P black rings

hep-th · 2026-01-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Singly and doubly spinning non-supersymmetric F1-P black ring solutions are constructed in 5D supergravity, with the doubly spinning case admitting an extremal limit where entropy S equals 2 pi times the S^2 angular momentum J_phi.

Complex BPS Black Holes in AdS$_3\times S^3$

hep-th · 2026-05-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Constructs complex BTZ x S3 saddles for the supersymmetric index in AdS3 x S3 supergravity, matching supersymmetry requirements through two-center 4D solutions with complex charges and 6D black strings.

Large Order Enumerative Geometry, Black Holes and Black Rings

hep-th · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

Numerical analysis of 5D indices shows a transition from BMPV black hole entropy to black ring entropy at critical angular momentum m, while PT invariants exhibit two further transitions at positive m and DT invariants transition to D0-brane dominance.

Generating Rotation in a Snap

hep-th · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

An algebraic construction generates rotating solutions from static Weyl-class metrics in 5D minimal supergravity by using AdS×S asymptotics and frame shifts, recovering Kerr/Myers-Perry and producing a linear ansatz for multiple non-extremal rotating charged sources.

Entanglement islands, fuzzballs and stretched horizons

hep-th · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Fuzzball models with stretched horizons modify or eliminate entanglement islands depending on boundary conditions and cap geometry, producing information paradox analogues in some cases.

Modular quantization and black holes

hep-th · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Modular quantization of a single holographic CFT reproduces exact Hartle-Hawking correlators of smooth BTZ black holes in the semiclassical limit while yielding non-smooth stretched-horizon descriptions at finite GN.
