Revisiting the D1/D5 system or bubbling in AdS3

In this article we study the relation between the bubbling construction and the Mathur's microscopic solutions for the D1/D5 system. We have found that the regular near horizon D1/D5 system (after appropriated constraints are imposed) contains all the bubbling regular solutions. Then, we show that the features of this system are rather different from the bubbling in AdS5 x S5, since the perimeter and not the area plays a key role. After setting the main dictionary between the two approaches, we investigate on extensions to non-regular solutions like conical defects and/or naked singular solutions. In particular, among the latter metrics, closed time-like curves are found together with a chronology protection mechanism enforced by the AdS/CFT duality
