Abstract
We study 5d supersymmetric black holes which descend from strings of generic $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supergravity in 6d. These strings have an F-theory realization in 6d as D3 branes wrapping smooth genus $g$ curves in the base of elliptic 3-folds. They enjoy $(0,4)$ worldsheet supersymmetry with an extra $SU(2)_L$ current algebra at level $g$ realized on the left-movers. When the smooth curves degenerate they lead to multi-string branches and we find that the microscopic worldsheet theory flows in the IR to disconnected 2d CFTs having different central charges. The single string sector is the one with maximal central charge, which when wrapped on a circle, leads to a 5d spinning BPS black hole whose horizon volume agrees with the leading entropy prediction from the Cardy formula. However, we find new phenomena where this branch meets other branches of the CFT. These include multi-string configurations which have no bound states in 6 dimensions but are bound through KK momenta when wrapping a circle, as well as loci where the curves degenerate to spheres. These loci lead to black hole configurations which can have total angular momentum relative to a Taub-Nut center satisfying $J^2 > M^3$ and whose number of states, though exponentially large, grows much slower than those of the large spinning black hole.

For C elliptic one can show that p1(C) = −2χ(C) = −24c1(B) · C, which leads to 1 r = − 2 c1(B) · C
Summary
A lot has been learned about BPS black holes in 5 and 4 dimensions in the past twenty years. We find that the KK momenta (which from the 5d perspective can be viewed as another charge for the black hole) binds these multi-black holes into one object Another surprise we encounter is that a certain subset of configurations involving KK momenta bound to strings leads to black hole states which can have total angular momentum satisfying J2 > M 3, but whose number of states scales much slower than those of the large spinning black hole. This seems to indicate a violation of the cosmic censorship bound (CCB), but there is no contradiction if such states have large orbital angular momentum relative to a Taub-Nut center..
