: We ﬁnd the supergravity solution sourced by a supertube: a (1/4)-super-symmetric D0-charged IIA superstring that has been blown up to a cylindrical D2-brane by angular momentum. The supergravity solution captures all essential features of the supertube, including the D2-dipole moment and an upper bound on the angular momentum: violation of this bound implies the existence of closed timelike curves, with a consequent ghost-induced instability of supertube probes.

Supersymmetric black rings and three-charge supertubes (2004, background): “stems, in terms of the microscopic CFT of D1-D5 systems, is currently under investigation. For twocharge supertubes, the agreement between the supergravity and the worldvolume descriptions is perfect [6, 7, 8]. Here we oﬀer some preliminary observations aimed at exploring whether a similar connectio”

Habemus superstratum! A constructive proof of the existence of superstrata (2015, methodology): “Our procedure relies on the proposal [1] that superstrata can be obtained by adding momentum modes on two-charge D1-D5 supertubes: supertube solutions [16–18] have eight supercharges and are parameterized by functions of one variable; adding another arbitrary function-worth of momentum modes to each”
Nonsupersymmetric smooth geometries and D1-D5-P bound states (2005, unknown): “FT ﬁnd it diﬃcult to distinguish between regular geometries and the conventional semi-classical picture of a black hole [14]. 2Three-charge states were previously studied in the supertube description [24, 25] in [26, 27].

Black holes, black rings and their microstates (2007, methodology): “Via an analysis of the BornInfeld action of the D2 brane, these configurations were found by Mateos and Townsend to be supersymmetric, and moreover to preserve the same supersymmetries as the branes whose asymptotic charges they carry (F1 and D0 charge), independent of the shape of the curve that th”
One Ring to Rule Them All ... and in the Darkness Bind Them (2004, background): “We should note that at this step, we are doing very much the same thing that was done for the two-charge, one-dipole charge metrics of [8, 24, 25], where the shape of the dipole branes fully determines the Maxwell fields of these branes.”
