abstract
We refine and extend a recent construction of sets of black hole microstates with semiclassical interiors that span a Hilbert space of dimension $e^S$, where $S$ is the black hole entropy. We elaborate on the definition and properties of microstates in statistical and black hole mechanics. The gravitational description of microstates employs matter shells in the interior of the black hole, and we argue that in the limit where the shells are very heavy, the construction acquires universal validity. To this end, we show it for very wide classes of black holes: we first extend the construction to rotating and charged black holes, including extremal and near-extremal solutions, with or without supersymmetry, and we sketch how the construction of microstates can be embedded in String Theory. We then describe how the approach can include general quantum corrections, near or far from extremality. For supersymmetric black holes, the microstates we construct differ from other recent constructions in that the interior excitations are not confined within the near-extremal throat.

Flow-geometry microstates
Particle-insertion microstates in AdS2→dS2 flow geometries are counted via wormhole path integrals, giving a Hilbert-space dimension e^{2S_Flow} that matches Gibbons-Hawking; the purely-de Sitter spanning claim depend...

Non-conformal Line Defect (Shell Operator) in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$: Spinning and Higher Point Correlators
Spinning and higher-point thin-shell operator correlators in AdS3/CFT2 are shown to match across ETH analysis, the vacuum Virasoro block, and gravitational on-shell actions, with order-dependent structure for multiple...

The Baby Universe is Fine and the CFT Knows It: On Holography for Closed Universes
A closed universe in AdS/CFT is not ruled out by recent SWAP-test arguments; the one-dimensional Hilbert space seen from the CFT is external indistinguishability, and CFT data can reconstruct the closed universe's geometry.

Black Holes, Entanglement and Decoherence
Satishchandran reviews three equivalent mechanisms by which black holes and other Killing horizons decohere nearby quantum superpositions, via interior entanglement, soft radiation, and fluctuating multipoles.
