Abstract

In flat space, the extreme Reissner-Nordstrøm (RN) black hole is distinguished by its coldness (vanishing Hawking temperature) and its supersymmetry. We examine RN solutions to Einstein-Maxwell theory with a cosmological constant , classifying the cold black holes and, for positive , the ``lukewarm" black holes at the same temperature as the de Sitter thermal background. For negative , we classify the supersymmetric solutions within the context of gauged supergravity. One finds supersymmetric analogues of flat-space extreme RN black holes, which for nonzero differ from the cold black holes. In addition, there is an exotic class of supersymmetric solutions which cannot be continued to flat space, since the magnetic charge becomes infinite in that limit.
