We propose that 3d black holes are an ensemble of tensionless null string states. These microstates typically have non-zero winding. We evaluate their partition function in the limit of large excitation numbers and show that their combinatorics reproduces the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and its semiclassical logarithmic corrections.

  1. Null-strings Gauged, Reloaded and Quantized, I: Canonical Quantization in the Light-Cone Gauge

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Light-cone Schrödinger quantization of null-strings with Carroll-Weyl symmetry yields D-3 physical modes, a discrete spectrum, and no critical dimension.

  2. An Inconsistency in the Null Strings Literature: The Tale of an Overlooked Symmetry

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper claims a new local symmetry of null strings forces a third constraint, giving D−3 physical degrees of freedom.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quantized null p-branes in light-cone gauge have physical Hilbert spaces split into p+1 classes of standing-wave states.

    Kasner worldsheets near their null horizons reproduce the tensionless, Carrollian string physics previously found for Rindler worldsheets, with a Bogoliubov-map identification that depends on an arbitrary regularizati...
