Constituent Model of Extremal non-BPS Black Holes
Eric Gimon, Finn Larsen, Joan Simon
We interpret extremal non-BPS black holes in four dimensions as threshold bound states of four 1/2-BPS constituents. We verify the no-force condition for each of the primitive cons…
Black Holes in Supergravity: the non-BPS Branch
Eric G. Gimon, Finn Larsen, Joan Simon
We construct extremal, spherically symmetric black hole solutions to 4D supergravity with charge assignments that preclude BPS-saturation. In particular, we determine the ground st…
Black Ring Deconstruction
Eric G. Gimon, Thomas S. Levi
We present a sample microstate for a black ring in four and five dimensional language. The microstate consists of a black string microstate with an additional D6-brane. We show tha…
Astrophysical Violations of the Kerr Bound as a Possible Signature of String Theory
Eric G. Gimon, Petr Horava
In 4D general relativity, the angular momentum of a black hole is limited by the Kerr bound. We suggest that in string theory, this bound can be breached and compact black-hole-lik…
Geometry of non-supersymmetric three-charge bound states
Eric G. Gimon, Thomas S. Levi, Simon F. Ross
We study the smooth non-supersymmetric three-charge microstates of Jejjala, Madden, Ross and Titchener [hep-th/0504181] using Kaluza-Klein reductions of the solutions to five and f…
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…
