We extend the analysis of arXiv:0801.4457 [hep-th] to charged black hole solutions of four-dimensional $U(1)^4$ gauged supergravity which carry three charges. There are two decoupling near-horizon limits, one over the near-BPS black hole…
We investigate in more detail the holographic model of a superconductor recently found by Hartnoll, Herzog, and Horowitz [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 031601], which is constructed from a condensate of a charged scalar field in AdS_4-Schwarzschild…
We revisit the holographic description of the near horizon geometry of the BTZ black hole in AdS$_3$ gravity, with a gravitational Chern-Simons term included. After a dimensional reduction of the three dimensional theory, we use the…
Recently, a special type of non-conformal line defect, known as thin-shell operator, has played a key role in demonstrating the chaotic nature of the high energy sector in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$. The chaotic nature was revealed concretely through…
We revisit the microscopic description of AdS$_3$ black holes in light of recent progress on their higher dimensional analogues. The grand canonical partition function that follows from the AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence describes BPS and…
We present a short review of hep-th/0306170. In the context of AdS/CFT correspondence, we explore what information from behind the horizon of the bulk black hole geometry can be found in boundary CFT correlators. In particular, we argue…
We construct higher-derivative gravity theories in three dimensions that admit holographic $c$-theorems and exhibit a unique maximally symmetric vacuum, at arbitrary order $n$ in the curvature. We show that these theories exhibit special…
We study a two-dimensional theory of gravity coupled to matter that is relevant to describe holographic properties of black holes with a single rotational parameter in five dimensions (with or without cosmological constant). We focus on the…
We study correlation functions of two AdS giant gravitons in AdS$_5\times S^5$ and a BPS supergravity mode using holography. In the gauge theory these are described by BPS correlators of Schur polynomials of fully-symmetric representations…
The AdS/CFT conjecture offers the possibility of a quantum description for a black hole in terms of a CFT. This has led to the study of general AdS^3 type black holes with a view to constructing an explicit toy quantum black hole model.…
We consider 1/4 BPS black hole solutions of ${\cal N}=2$ gauged supergravity in $AdS_4$. The near horizon geometry is $AdS_2 \times S^2$ and supersymmetry is enhanced. In the first part of the paper we choose a moment map, which allows the…
We study 2-point correlation functions for scalar operators in position space through holography including bulk cubic couplings as well as higher curvature couplings to the square of the Weyl tensor. We focus on scalar operators with large…
We study holographic entanglement entropy and holographic complexity in a two-charge, $\frac{1}{4}$-BPS family of solutions of type IIB supergravity, controlled by one dimensionless parameter. All the geometries in this family are…
This paper addresses a long standing problem, the counting of the microstates of supersymmetric asymptotically AdS black holes in terms of a holographically dual field theory. We focus on a class of asymptotically AdS$_4$ static black holes…
Microstate geometries are proposed microstates of black holes which can be described within supergravity. Even though their number may not reproduce the full entropy of black holes with finite-sized horizons, they still offer a glimpse into…
We present a semi-analytic method for constructing holographic black holes that interpolate from anti-de Sitter space to hyperscaling-violating geometries. These are holographic duals of conformal field theories in the presence of an…
The physics of gravitational waves and other classical fields on specifically four-dimensional backgrounds of black holes exhibits electric-magnetic-like dualities. In this paper, we discuss the structure of such dualities in terms of…
One may ask whether the CFT restricted to a subset b of the AdS boundary has a well-defined dual restricted to a subset H(b) of the bulk geometry. The Poincare patch is an example, but more general choices of b can be considered. We propose…
We compute the spectrum of extremal nonBPS black holes in four dimensions by studying supergravity on their AdS$_2\times S^2$ near horizon geometry. We find that the spectrum exhibits significant simplifications even though supersymmetry is…
We consider the quarter-BPS sector of the AdS$_5$/CFT$_4$ duality, and provide a precise matching between specific CFT states and supergravity geometries beyond the linearized approximation. In the bulk, we focus on AdS bubbles, geometries…
