For black holes in M-theory, this relation involves a decoupling limit where the black hole mass diverges. We suggest that moving away from this limit corresponds to a specific irrelevant perturbation of the 2d CFT, namely the supersymmetric completion of the Tar{T} deformation. We demonstrate that the black hole mass matches precisely with the Tar{T} deformed energy levels, upon identifying the Tar{T} deformation parameter with the inverse of the leading term of the black hole mass. We discuss various implications of this novel realization of the Tar{T} deformation, including a Hagedorn temperature for wrapped M5-branes, and potential change of degeneracies in the deformed theory. | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 Chris Nagele, Supermassive black holes: where do they come from and how do they grow?
