Abstract
Microstates of BPS AdS black holes have been studied from the classical cohomologies of the maximal super-Yang-Mills theories, but their quantum natures have been conjectural. It was recently found that a classical black hole (fortuitous) cohomology in the theory is lifted by 1-loop corrections. We show that such lifts also happen in the theory, presenting both lifted/unlifted examples. In particular, the lightest fortuitous cohomology and its `hairy' versions are unlifted, while many heavier `core' fortuitous ones are lifted. We argue that the entropy of classical cohomologies in the Cardy limit is larger than the indicial entropy of strictly protected states by at least .
