Introduction to black hole entropy and supersymmetry
Bernard de Wit
In these lectures we introduce some of the principles and techniques that are relevant for the determination of the entropy of extremal black holes by either string theory or super…
Gauged Supergravities in Three Dimensions: A Panoramic Overview
B. de Wit, H. Nicolai, H. Samtleben
Maximal and non-maximal supergravities in three spacetime dimensions allow for a large variety of semisimple and non-semisimple gauge groups, as well as complex gauge groups that h…
Supergravity
Bernard de Wit
These notes are based on lectures presented at the 2001 Les Houches Summerschool ``Unity from Duality: Gravity, Gauge Theory and Strings''
Anti-de Sitter Supersymmetry
Bernard de Wit, Ivan Herger
We give a pedagogical introduction to certain aspects of supersymmetric field theories in anti-de Sitter space. Among them are the presence of masslike terms in massless wave equat…
Modifications of the area law and N=2 supersymmetric black holes
Bernard de Wit
Modifications of the area law are crucial in order to find agreement with microscopic entropy calculations based on string theory, when including contributions that are subleading…
Supermembranes in curved superspace and near-horizon geometries
Bernard de Wit
We give a description of supermembranes in nontrivial target-space geometries. A special class are the and spaces that have the maximal number o…
