We construct the first family of horizonless supergravity solutions that have the same mass, charges and angular momenta as general supersymmetric rotating D1-D5-P black holes in five dimensions. This family includes solutions with arbitrarily small angular momenta, deep within the regime of quantum numbers and couplings for which a large classical black hole exists. These geometries are well-approximated by the black-hole solution, and in particular exhibit the same near-horizon throat. Deep in this throat, the black-hole singularity is resolved into a smooth cap. We also identify the holographically-dual states in the N=(4,4) D1-D5 orbifold CFT. Our solutions are among the states counted by the CFT elliptic genus, and provide examples of smooth microstate geometries within the ensemble of supersymmetric black-hole microstates.

  1. Entanglement islands, fuzzballs and stretched horizons

    hep-th 2026-05 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.

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

    hep-th 2026-04 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.

  3. Gravitational Atoms from Topological Stars

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Bound states of a massive scalar field around topological stars form strictly normal modes, producing a hydrogen-like spectrum when the Compton wavelength exceeds the star size and localized states otherwise.
