The emergent nature of spacetime geometry and black holes can be directly probed in simple holographic duals of higher spin gravity and tensionless string theory. To this end, we study time dependent thermal correlation functions of gauge invariant ...

We establish an attractor mechanism for the horizon metric of asymptotically locally AdS4 supersymmetric black holes. The horizon is a smooth Riemann surface with arbitrary metric at asymptotic infinity which is fixed to the constant curvature metric ...
