Supercharging superstrata

Abstract

Abstract We construct a new class of smooth horizonless microstate geometries of the supersymmetric D1-D5-P black hole in type IIB supergravity. We first work in the AdS3 × S 3 decoupling limit and use the fermionic symmetries of the theory to generate new momentum carrying perturbations in the bulk that have an explicit CFT dual description. We then use the supergravity equations to calculate the backreaction of these perturbations and find the full non-linear solutions both in the asymptotically AdS and asymptotically flat case. These new geometries have a simpler structure than the previously known superstrata solutions.
