A 1/4-BPS chiral algebra in D1D5: from charge concentration to BPS chaos
Abstract
The D1D5 CFT exhibits a charge concentration puzzle for BPS states, similar to, but simpler than, that of 𝒩=4 SYM. We consider the chiral algebra of 1/4-BPS operators in the D1D5 CFT arising from a supercharge cohomology, and the resulting rational correlators. Using crossing symmetry and this chiral algebra, we establish a non-perturbative proof of the existence of a family of 1/4-BPS states away from the charge concentration locus for general coupling and finite central charge. We further discuss possible implications for BPS chaos in the D1D5 CFT and compute a late-time BPS plateau at the orbifold point.
