String theory on AdS3 backgrounds arises as an IR limit of Little String Theory on NS5-branes. A wide variety of holographic RG flows from the fivebrane theory in the UV to (orbifolds of) AdS3 in the IR is amenable to exact treatment in worldsheet string theory as a class of null-gauged WZW models. The condensate of stringy winding operators which resolves the near-source structure of fivebranes on the Coulomb branch plays a crucial role in AdS3, revealing stringy structure invisible to the supergravity approximation. The D-brane sector contains precursors of the long strings which dominate black hole entropy in the dual spacetime CFT.

  1. The black hole S-matrix in gauge/gravity duality

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A unitary black hole S-matrix is built in AdS/CFT via collapsing brane shells; the black hole decays by exponentially rare brane emission, and the emitted branes are argued to be the original constituents, resolving t...

  2. Berry Picking: Random Wave Chaos Hierarchy for BPS Microstate Geometries

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Wave chaos in BPS microstate geometries strengthens toward black-hole-like throats while geodesic chaos weakens, and weak-coupling CFT Renyi entropies do not share that bulk hierarchy.

  3. The On-shell Gravity Action and Linear Dilaton Holography

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Euclidean on-shell action for linear-dilaton three-dimensional string backgrounds yields a spacetime mass whose square-root form matches the TT-deformed CFT energy formula.

  4. Cogito, ergo - strings: Supersymmetric ergoregions and their stringy excitations

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Supersymmetric ergoregions without horizons in NS5-F1-P bound states are shown to admit negative-energy BPS excitations, described via gauged WZW models and mapped holographically to the dual CFT.

  5. BPS Fivebrane Stars III: Effective Actions

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An NS5-brane plus supergravity effective action reproduces BPS supertube solutions with transverse and internal modes and yields new correlation functions of density and graviton fluctuations.
