Understanding the structure of gravity at small distances has remained a lasting challenge in physics. In the absence of colliders able to directly probe the Planck scale, the theoretical study of black holes can offer essential clues about quantum gravity. The aim of this project is to provide a deep and quantitative understanding of the quantum nature of black holes by incorporating holography, supersymmetric localization and techniques from analytic number theory, alongside constructing new anti de Sitter (AdS) black holes in string and M-theory. In particular, it will provide a precision counting of the microstates responsible for the huge entropy of black holes in AdS spacetimes, where we have a non-perturbative definition of quantum gravity through holography. At completion, this action will contribute towards resolving long standing puzzles surrounding black holes (such as the information paradox) via a unitary quantum field theory, and uncover hidden features of a consistent theory of quantum gravity. The project is multidisciplinary, at the frontier between high energy theoretical physics, general relativity and mathematics. As such, it could also have an important impact on mathematics, including enumerative geometry and the theory of mock modular forms.

了解短距离引力的结构仍然是物理学中的一个持久挑战。在缺乏能够直接探测普朗克尺度的对撞机的情况下，黑洞的理论研究可以提供有关量子引力的重要线索。该项目的目的是通过结合全息术、超对称局域化和解析数论技术，以及在弦理论和 M 理论中构建新的反德西特 (AdS) 黑洞，对黑洞的量子性质提供深入和定量的理解。 。特别是，它将提供对 AdS 时空中黑洞巨大熵的微观状态的精确计数，我们可以通过全息术对量子引力进行非微扰定义。完成后，这一行动将有助于通过酉量子场论解决围绕黑洞的长期谜题（例如信息悖论），并揭示一致的量子引力理论的隐藏特征。该项目是多学科的，处于高能理论物理、广义相对论和数学的前沿。因此，它也可能对数学产生重要影响，包括枚举几何和模拟模形式理论。
