Abstract
In this talk I will discuss the use of the hidden G2(2)symmetry to construct black strings of minimal N=1 D=5 supergravity. Iwill present the construction of the most general black string withthree-commuting Killing symmetries in this theory. This solution has anumber of implications for extremal as well as non-extremal blackrings. Using a particular limit of this black string solution and theassociated dual Maldacena-Stominger-Witten (MSW) CFT, I will present aproposal for the microscopic realization of the Kerr-CFTcorrespondence.
