abstract

We consider theories with gravity, gauge fields and scalars in four-dimensional asymptotically flat space-time. By studying the equations of motion directly we show that the attractor mechanism can work for non-supersymmetric extremal black holes. Two conditions are sufficient for this, they are conveniently stated in terms of an effective potential involving the scalars and the charges carried by the black hole. Our analysis applies to black holes in theories with ${\cal N} \le 1$ supersymmetry, as well as non-supersymmetric black holes in theories with ${\cal N} = 2$ supersymmetry. Similar results are also obtained for extremal black holes in asymptotically Anti-de Sitter space and in higher dimensions.

  1. Classical Black Hole Probes of UV Scales

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Minimal classical BPS black holes in string compactifications track the species or KK scale in infinite-distance limits, and violations may signal inconsistent EFTs.

  2. Supersymmetry and Attractors in N = 4 Supergravity: The Superconformal Approach

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.5 of 10

    Numerical confirmation of the attractor mechanism and 1/4 supersymmetry preservation for generic dyonic extremal black holes in pure N=4 supergravity.

  3. Pure D-brane Black Holes: BPS Counting and non-BPS Vacua

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The (1,1,1,5) and (1,1,1,6) D2-D2-D2-D6 BPS systems yield 2032 and 5616 vacua, matching U-duality, while the analogous non-BPS system has no zero-energy vacua and six doubly-degenerate low-energy minima.

  4. Black hole solutions in theories of supergravity

    hep-th 2024-12 unverdicted

    A review of the history of black hole solutions in supergravity, from early no-superhair theorems to attractor mechanics and alpha-prime corrections.
