Abstract:
In this note we construct families of asymptotically flat, smooth, horizonless solutions with a large number of non-trivial two-cycles (bubbles) of N=1 five-dimensional supergravity with an arbitrary number of vector multiplets, which may or may not have the charges of a macroscopic black hole and which contain the known bubbling solutions as a sub-family. We do this by lifting various multi-center BPS states of type IIA compactified on Calabi-Yau three-folds and taking the decompactification (M-theory) limit. We also analyse various properties of these solutions, including the conserved charges, the shape, especially the (absence of) throat and closed timelike curves, and relate them to the various properties of the four-dimensional BPS states. We finish by briefly commenting on their degeneracies and their possible relations to the fuzzball proposal of Mathur et al.
