An effective action for NS5-branes coupled to supergravity is used to derive the full 10d form of horizon-free BPS solutions of fivebranes carrying momentum waves, including both transverse scalar and internal gauge excitations of the branes. When internal modes are highly excited, we find solutions that plausibly mediate the transition between the Coulomb phase of NS5-branes and the black hole phase. We also compute the two-point functions of fivebrane density fluctuations and of gravitons absorbed by the branes. Finally, we begin an exploration of near-BPS perturbations of the fivebrane ensemble, and propose the use of the brane+bulk effective action as a tool to explore the black hole phase, even in the AdS decoupling limit.

  1. The black hole S-matrix in gauge/gravity duality

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A unitary black hole S-matrix is built in AdS/CFT via collapsing brane shells; the black hole decays by exponentially rare brane emission, and the emitted branes are argued to be the original constituents, resolving t...

  2. Berry Picking: Random Wave Chaos Hierarchy for BPS Microstate Geometries

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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. Berry Picking: Random Wave Chaos Hierarchy for BPS Microstate Geometries

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Probe waves in BPS microstate geometries increasingly match Berry random-wave statistics as the background approaches a black hole, while probe geodesics become more regular.

  4. Superball of Strings

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A random-walk-sized fuzzball of BPS superstrings in supergravity is proposed to describe generic BPS microstates instead of a singular black hole.
