The Search for a Holographic Dual to AdS(3)xS(3)xS(3)xS(1)
read the original abstract
The problem of finding a holographic CFT dual to string theory on AdS(3)xS(3)xS(3)xS(1) is examined in depth. This background supports a large N=4 superconformal symmetry. While in some respects similar to the familiar small N=4 systems on AdS(3)xS(3)xK3 and AdS(3)xS(3)xT4, there are important qualitative differences. Using an analog of the elliptic genus for large N=4 theories we rule out all extant proposals -- in their simplest form -- for a holographic duality to supergravity at generic values of the background fluxes. Modifications of these extant proposals and other possible duals are discussed.

Chaos of Berry curvature for BPS microstates
Berry curvature of BPS states is random-matrix-like for supersymmetric black hole microstates but non-random and often zero for horizonless geometries, offering a chaos diagnostic in degenerate sectors.
