Special Geometry, Black Holes and Euclidean Supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent developments in special geometry and explain its role in the theory of supersymmetric black holes. To make this article self-contained, a short introduction to black holes is given, with emphasis on the laws of black hole mechanics and black hole entropy. We also summarize the existing results on the para-complex version of special geometry, which occurs in Euclidean supersymmetry. The role of real coordinates in special geometry is illustrated, and we briefly indicate how Euclidean supersymmetry can be used to study stationary black hole solutions via dimensional reduction over time. PACS subject classification: 02.40.-k, 02.40.Tt, 04.65.+e, 04.70Dy, 11.25.-w

متن کاملSpecial Geometry of Euclidean Supersymmetry III: the local r-map, instantons and black holes
We define and study projective special para-Kähler manifolds and show that they appear as target manifolds when reducing five-dimensional vector multiplets coupled to supergravity with respect to time. The dimensional reductions with respect to time and space are carried out in a uniform way using an ǫ-complex notation. We explain the relation of our formalism to other formalisms of special geo...
متن کاملα′-Corrections to Extremal Dyonic Black Holes in Heterotic String Theory
We explicitly compute the entropy of an extremal dyonic black hole in heterotic string theory compactified on T 6 or K3 × T 2 by taking into account all the tree level four derivative corrections to the low energy effective action. For supersymmetric black holes the result agrees with the answer obtained earlier 1) by including only the Gauss-Bonnet corrections to the effective action 2) by inc...
متن کاملDilaton black holes near the horizon.
Generic U(1) 4-d black holes with unbroken N = 1 supersymmetry are shown to tend to a Robinson-Bertotti type geometry with a linear dilaton and doubling of unbroken supersymmetries near the horizon. Purely magnetic dilatonic black holes, which have unbroken N = 2 supersymmetry, behave near the horizon as a 2-d linear dilaton vacuum ⊗S2. This geometry is invariant under 8 supersymmetries, i.e. h...
متن کاملSupersymmetry as a cosmic censor.
In supersymmetric theories the mass of any state is bounded below by the values of some of its charges. The corresponding bounds in the case of Schwarzschild (M & 0 ) and Reissner-Nordstrom (M & ~q~) black holes are known to coincide with the requirement that naked singularities be absent. Here we investigate [U(1)j charged dilaton black holes in this context. The extreme solutions are shown to...
