Black holes absorb any particle impinging with an impact parameter below a critical value. We show that 2- and 3-charge fuzzball geometries exhibit a similar trapping behaviour for a selected choice of the impact parameter of incoming massless particles. This suggests that the blackness property of black holes arises as a collective effect whereby each micro-state absorbs a specific channel.

  1. Rotating Topological Stars

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Rotating Topological Stars are smooth, horizonless, ergoregion-free five-dimensional solitons obtained by analytic continuation of known rotating black string solutions, with separable geodesic and scalar perturbation...

  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. Scalar waves in a Topological Star spacetime: self-force and radiative losses

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A scalar charge on a circular orbit around a topological star radiates energy at a rate given by a new post-Newtonian formula, with the self-force purely radial and constant at leading order.

  4. On the deep string spectrum

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A hidden symplectic symmetry organizes string spectra into depth-zero trajectories and their clones, so that entire infinite families of physical states can be constructed by solving the Virasoro constraints once.
