Microstate geometries are smooth horizonless geometries with the same boundary conditions as a black hole. I review what is currently known about the extensive families of such BPS geometries, how they resolve black-hole singularities and how they...

We pursue the construction of higher-spin theory in AdS_4 from CFT_3 of the O(N) vector model in terms of canonical collective fields. In null plane quantization the coordinates of the AdS_4 space-time are generated from the collective coordinates...
