We quantize the moduli space of regular D1-D5 microstates, directly from Type IIB SUGRA. The moduli space is parametrized by a smooth closed non-selfintersecting curve in four dimensions, and we derive that the components of the curve satisfy chiral boson commutation relations, with the correct value of the effective Planck constant previously conjectured using U-duality. We use the Crnkovic-Witten-Zuckerman covariant quantization method, previously used to quantize the `bubbling AdS' geometries, combined with a certain new `consistency condition' which allows us to reduce the computation to quantizing perturbations around the plane wave.

  1. 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.

  2. Cogito, ergo - strings: Supersymmetric ergoregions and their stringy excitations

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Supersymmetric ergoregions without horizons in NS5-F1-P bound states are shown to admit negative-energy BPS excitations, described via gauged WZW models and mapped holographically to the dual CFT.

  3. BPS Fivebrane Stars III: Effective Actions

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An NS5-brane plus supergravity effective action reproduces BPS supertube solutions with transverse and internal modes and yields new correlation functions of density and graviton fluctuations.

  4. Holography, Brick Wall and a Little Hierarchy Problem

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A boundary-anchored brick wall definition in holography matches 't Hooft thermodynamics for BTZ but shows a slightly subleading area-law coefficient in the exact partition function unless the cutoff is trans-Planckian...

  5. Interpolating between multi-center microstate geometries

    hep-th 2021-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Constructs a 2-center helical-profile solution that interpolates between two circular-profile Lunin-Mathur microstate geometries while exhibiting charge delocalization and transfer between centers.
