Supersymmetric black holes
Bernard de Wit
Recent insights from string theory and supergravity on the macroscopic and the microscopic description of black hole entropy are discussed.

Magnetic charges in local field theory
Bernard de Wit, Henning Samtleben, Mario Trigiante
Novel Lagrangians are discussed in which (non-abelian) electric and magnetic gauge fields appear on a par. To ensure that these Lagrangians describe the correct number of degrees o…

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…
