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…
Tits-Satake projections of homogeneous special geometries
Pietro Fre', Floriana Gargiulo, Jan Rosseel +3
We organize the homogeneous special geometries, describing as well the couplings of D=6, 5, 4 and 3 supergravities with 8 supercharges, in a small number of universality classes. T…
Twisted tori and fluxes: a no go theorem for Lie groups of weak G_2 holonomy
P. Fre', M. Trigiante
In this paper we prove the theorem that there exists no 7--dimensional Lie group manifold G of weak G2 holonomy. We actually prove a stronger statement, namely that there exists no…
Spontaneously broken supergravity: Old and new facts
R. D'Auria, S. Ferrara, M. Trigiante
We report on some recent investigations of the structure of the four dimensional gauged supergravity Lagrangian which emerges from flux and Scherk-Schwarz compactifications in high…
