Erice Lectures on Black Holes and Attractors
نویسندگان
چکیده
These lectures give an elementary introduction to the subject of four dimensional black holes (BHs) in supergravity and the Attractor Mechanism in the extremal case. Some thermodynamical properties are discussed and some relevant formulæ for the critical points of the BH effective potential are given. The case of MaxwellEinstein-axion-dilaton (super)gravity is discussed in detail. Analogies among BH entropy and multipartite entanglement of qubits in quantum information theory, as well moduli spaces of extremal BH attractors, are also discussed.

Lectures∗ on Black Holes, Topological Strings and Quantum Attractors
In these lecture notes, we review some recent developments on the relation between the macroscopic entropy of four-dimensional BPS black holes and the microscopic counting of states, beyond the thermodynamical, large charge limit. After a brief overview of charged black holes in supergravity and string theory, we give an extensive introduction to special and very special geometry, attractor flo...

متن کاملBlack hole entropy and attractors
The introductory lectures delivered at the 2006 RTN Winter School on Strings, Supergravity and Gauge Theories at CERN and the 2005 Shanghai Summer School on Recent Trends in M/String Theory were aimed at Ph.D students and recent postdocs. We describe recent progress in understanding quantum aspects of black holes after reviewing the relevant background material, and illustrate the basic concept...
متن کاملSAM Lectures on Extremal Black Holes in d = 4 Extended Supergravity
We report on recent results in the study of extremal black hole attractors in N = 2, d = 4 ungauged Maxwell-Einstein supergravities. For homogeneous symmetric scalar manifolds, the three general classes of attractor solutions with non-vanishing Bekenstein-Hawking entropy are discussed. They correspond to three (inequivalent) classes of orbits of the charge vector, which sits in the relevant sym...
متن کاملExtremal Black Hole and Flux Vacua Attractors
These lectures provide a pedagogical, introductory review of the so-called Attractor Mechanism (AM) at work in two different 4-dimensional frameworks: extremal black holes in N = 2 supergravity and N = 1 flux compactifications. In the first case, AM determines the stabilization of scalars at the black hole event horizon purely in terms of the electric and magnetic charges, whereas in the second...
