Event details

Black hole microstates in string theory

The study of black hole internal structure in String Theory offers the potential to resolve the black hole information paradox. I will give an overview of recent work on constructing families of smooth horizonless supergravity solutions describing black hole microstates. Where applicable, I will present a holographic description of these solutions. I will also discuss the physics of an observer falling into a black hole.
