Extremal Black Holes in Supergravity
Laura Andrianopoli, Riccardo D'Auria, Sergio Ferrara +1
We present the main features of the physics of extremal black holes embedded in supersymmetric theories of gravitation, with a detailed analysis of the attractor mechanism for BPS…
Mirror Fermat Calabi-Yau Threefolds and Landau-Ginzburg Black Hole Attractors
S. Bellucci, S. Ferrara, A. Marrani +1
We study black hole attractor equations for one-(complex structure)modulus Calabi-Yau spaces which are the mirror dual of Fermat Calabi-Yau threefolds (CY_{3}s). When exploring non…
Magic Supergravities, N= 8 and Black Hole Composites
Sergio Ferrara, Eric G. Gimon, Renata Kallosh
We present explicit U-duality invariants for the R, C, Q, O$ (real, complex, quaternionic and octonionic) magic supergravities in four and five dimensions using complex forms with…
Charge Orbits of Symmetric Special Geometries and Attractors
Stefano Bellucci, Sergio Ferrara, Murat Gunaydin +1
We study the critical points of the black hole scalar potential in N=2, d=4 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets, in an asymptotically flat extremal black hol…
Orbits and Attractors for N=2 Maxwell-Einstein Supergravity Theories in Five Dimensions
Sergio Ferrara, Murat Gunaydin
BPS and non-BPS orbits for extremal black-holes in N=2 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity theories (MESGT) in five dimensions were classified long ago by the present authors for the cas…
On N=8 attractors
Sergio Ferrara, Renata Kallosh
We derive and solve the black hole attractor conditions of N=8 supergravity by finding the critical points of the corresponding black hole potential. This is achieved by a simple g…
