“…One can then try to use these "low-temperature states" as a basis for more general classes of black holes. More recent calculations, like those in [23,24], also suggest that highly coherent black-hole microstates at finite temperature can be constructed by putting the system in a "box" created by anti-de-Sitter (AdS) boundary conditions. Such coherent states then represent black holes in equilibrium with the radiation they produce.…”

The black-hole information paradox provides one of the sharpest foci for the conflict between quantum mechanics and general relativity and has become the proving-ground of would-be theories of quantum gravity. String theory has made significant progress in resolving this paradox, and has led to the fuzzball and microstate geometry programs. The core principle of these programs is that horizons and singularities only arise if one tries to describe gravity using a theory that has too few degrees of freedom to resolve the physics. String theory has sufficiently many degrees of freedom and this naturally leads to fuzzballs and microstate geometries: The reformation of black holes into objects with neither horizons nor singularities. This not only resolves the paradox but provides new insights into the microstructure of black holes. We summarize the current status of this approach and describe future prospects and additional insights that are now within reach. This paper is an expanded version of our Snowmass White Paper [1].

“…However, a series of breakthroughs [43,28,29,[44][45][46][47][48][49] not only made the solution of this problem possible, but enabled the systematic construction of vast families of such microstate geometries [50,51,31,[52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. Dissecting the "no-go" theorems revealed that the mechanism underlying microstate geometries is the only way to create non-trivial, horizonless, time-independent solitonic solutions with black-hole mass and charges [68,69].…”

“…Over the years, there has been some construction of non-supersymmetric microstate geometries, but these have often led to extremal solutions, or solutions with very high angular momenta [137, 151-153, 73, 154-160]. However, the last year has seen some spectacular progress in the systematic construction of very interesting, more physical classes of non-supersymmetric microstate geometries [66,67,[161][162][163]. These constructions are quite new, but they underline how some of the remarkable features of supersymmetric microstate geometries are shared by non-supersymmetric counterparts.…”

“…These constructions are quite new, but they underline how some of the remarkable features of supersymmetric microstate geometries are shared by non-supersymmetric counterparts. The holography of some of these geometries is already being developed [67], and extending these constructions is already underway. The spectrum of excitations around these geometries is revealing how a generic non-BPS microstate geometry might make the transition to chaos.…”

The black-hole information paradox provides a stringent test of would-be theories of quantum gravity. String theory has made significant progress toward a resolution of this paradox, and has led to the fuzzball and microstate geometry programs. The central thesis of these programs is that only string theory has sufficiently many degrees of freedom to resolve black-hole microstructure, and that horizons and singularities are artifacts of attempting to describe gravity using a theory that has too few degrees of freedom to resolve the physics. Fuzzballs and microstate geometries recast black holes within string theory as horizonless and singularity-free objects that not only resolve the paradox but provide new insight into the underlying microstructure. We give an overview of this approach, summarize its current status and describe future prospects and insights that are now within reach.

Gravitational solutions involving shockwaves have attracted significant recent interest in the context of black holes and quantum chaos. Certain classes of supersymmetric two-charge black hole microstates are described by supergravity solutions containing shockwaves, that are horizonless and smooth away from the shockwave. These configurations have been used to describe how black hole microstates absorb and scramble perturbations. In this paper we construct the first family of asymptotically flat supersymmetric three-charge microstate solutions that contain shockwaves. We identify a family of holographically dual states of the D1-D5 CFT and show that these pass a set of tests, including a precision holographic test. We find precise agreement between gravity and CFT. Our results may prove useful for constructing more general families of black hole microstate solutions.
