Words to describe a black hole

Abstract: We revamp the constructive enumeration of 1/16-BPS states in the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills in four dimensions, and search for ones that are not of multi-graviton form. A handful of such states are found for gauge group SU(2) at relatively high energies, resolving a decade-old enigma. Along the way, we clarify various subtleties in the literature, and prove a non-renormalization theorem about the exactness of the cohomological enumeration in perturbation theory. We point out a giant-graviton-like feat… Show more

“…One of the more interesting generalizations would be to the case of 1 16 BPS operators. By now, there is ample evidence that there exists a class of 1 16 BPS operators describing the microstates of supersymmetric black holes in AdS 5 × S 5 [36][37][38][39]. Recently, there have been some studies of these types of states for small values of N [40,41]; see [42] for a more general discussion.…”

“…One can embrace more refined studies of supersymmetric states, going beyond indiscriminate counting. Pursuit in this direction was attempted by [8][9][10][11][12][13], and achieved a recent breakthrough by [14] in constructing a first candidate black hole (non-graviton) microstate (in the cohomological sense). Generalizations and further progress were made in [15][16][17].…”

“…The cohomologies corresponding to gravitons are fully recognized and can be completely separated from the rest [13]. It has been conjectured [11] and perturbatively proven [14] that away from the free point g YM = 0, the spectrum of supersymmetric states (captured by the dimensions of the Q-cohomologies) does not depend on the g YM . In [14], an extensive enumeration of cohomology classes at weak coupling, extending to high energies and charge ranges, unveiled the first non-graviton cohomology for gauge group SU (2).…”
