In this review article, we describe some of the recent progress towards the construction and
analysis of three-charge configurations in string theory and supergravity. We begin by …

The fuzzball proposal states that associated with a black hole of entropy S, there are
expShorizon-free non-singular solutions that asymptotically look like the black hole but …

The black-hole information paradox provides one of the sharpest foci for the conflict between
quantum mechanics and general relativity and has become the proving-ground of would-be …

We construct smooth BPS three-charge geometries that resolve the zero-entropy singularity
of the U (1)× U (1) invariant black ring. This singularity is resolved by a geometric transition …

We construct all 11-dimensional, three-charge BPS solutions that preserve a fixed, standard
set of supersymmetries. Our solutions include all BPS three-charge rotating black holes …

A new supersymmetric black hole solution of five-dimensional supergravity is presented. It
has an event horizon of topology S 1× S 2. This is the first example of a supersymmetric …

A black ring is a five-dimensional black hole with an event horizon of topology S 1× S 2. We
provide an introduction to the description of black rings in general relativity and string theory …

The black-hole information paradox provides a stringent test of would-be theories of
quantum gravity. String theory has made significant progress toward a resolution of this …

Supersymmetric black ring solutions of five-dimensional supergravity coupled to an arbitrary
number of vector multiplets are constructed. The solutions are asymptotically flat and …
