How much can supergravity teach us about microscopic features of BPS black holes?
M. Bertolini, M. Trigiante
We review recent results in the study of regular four dimensional BPS black holes in toroidally compactified type II (or M) theory. We discuss the generating solution for this kind…
Stable non-BPS D-branes and their classical description
M. Bertolini, A. Lerda
We review how to describe the stable non-BPS D-branes of type II string theory from a classical perspective, and discuss the properties of the space-time geometry associated to the…
Fractional D-branes and their gauge duals
M. Bertolini, P. Di Vecchia, M. Frau +3
We study the classical geometry associated to fractional D3-branes of type IIB string theory on R^4/Z_2 which provide the gravitational dual for N=2 super Yang-Mills theory in four…
Microscopic entropy of the most general four-dimensional BPS black hole
M. Bertolini, M. Trigiante
In a recent paper we have given the macroscopic and microscopic description of the generating solution of toroidally compactified string theory BPS black holes. In this note we com…
Is a classical description of stable non-BPS D-branes possible?
M. Bertolini, P. Di Vecchia, M. Frau +3
We study the classical geometry produced by a stack of stable (i.e. tachyon free) non-BPS D-branes present in K3 compactifications of type II string theory. This classical represen…
Regular BPS black holes: macroscopic and microscopic description of the generating solution
M. Bertolini, M. Trigiante
In this paper we construct the BPS black hole generating solution of toroidally compactified string (and M) theory, giving for it both the macroscopic and microscopic description.…
