Black holes and critical points in moduli space
TLDR
In this article, the authors studied the stabilization of scalars near a supersymmetric black hole horizon using the equation of motion of a particle moving in a potential and background metric, and they showed that extremal value of the central charge provides the minimal value of BPS mass and of the potential under the condition that the moduli space metric is positive at the critical point.About:

On Attractor Flow and Small Black Holes
TL;DR: In this article, the attractor flow and near horizon geometry of two-charge small black holes in heterotic string theory were studied and the Hessian of Sen's entropy function with respect to the moduli fields has standard attractor properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
On The Phase Structure and Thermodynamic Geometry of R-Charged Black Holes
TL;DR: In this article, the phase structure and equilibrium state space geometry of R-charged black holes in the canonical ensemble were studied and liquid-gas-like phase coexistence behavior culminating in second order critical points was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-supersymmetric stringy attractors
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of non-supersymmetric attractors in type IIA supergravity compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold, in the presence of sub-leading corrections to the N 2 pre-potential, was examined.
Dissertation
Applications of gauge/gravity dualities with charged Anti-de Sitter black holes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the AdS/CFT correspondence to explore three dierent strongly coupled systems, namely, a brane world accommodating a strongly-coupled eld theory, a strongly coupled uid on a three-sphere and a p-wave super uid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-Centered First Order Formalism
TL;DR: In this article, a first order formalism for multi-centered black holes with flat tree-dimensional base space, within the stu model of N=2, D=4 ungauged Maxwell-Einstein supergravity, was proposed.

Black Holes and Membranes in Higher Dimensional Theories with Dilaton Fields
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider scale invariant theories which couple gravity to Maxwell fields and antisymmetric tensor fields with a dilaton field, and they exhibit in a unified way solutions representing black hole, space-time membrane, vortex and cosmological solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
N=2 extremal black holes.
TL;DR: It is shown that extremal magnetic black hole solutions of N=2 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets with a generic holomorphic prepotential F can be described as supersymmetric solitons which interpolate between maximally symmetric limiting solutions at spatial infinity and the horizon.

Supersymmetry and attractors.
Sergio Ferrara,Renata Kallosh +1 more
TL;DR: The results provide an explicit model-independent expression for the macroscopic Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of {ital N}=2 black holes which is manifestly duality invariant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Massless black holes and conifolds in string theory
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that low-energy effective field theories arising from Calabi-Yau string compactifications are generically inconsistent or ill-defined at the classical level because of conifold singularities in the moduli space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Riemannian geometry in thermodynamic fluctuation theory
TL;DR: The covariant thermodynamic fluctuation theory as mentioned in this paper is an extension of the basic structure of the classical one of a subsystem in contact with an infinite uniform reservoir, where a hierarchy of concentric subsystems, each of which samples only the thermodynamic state of the subsystem immediately larger than it, is used.
