Abstract In two-derivative theories of gravity coupled to matter, charged black holes are self-attractive at large distances, with the force vanishing at zero temperature. However, in the presence of massless scalar fields and four-derivative corrections, zero-temperature black holes no longer need to obey the no-force condition. In this paper, we show how to calculate the long-range force between such black holes. We develop an efficient method for computing the higher-derivative corrections…

We compute the first-order α′ corrections to well-known families of heterotic multicenter black-hole solutions in five and four dimensions. The solutions can be either supersymmetric or
Planar Black Holes as a Route to Understanding the Weak Gravity Conjecture
One version of the Weak Gravity Conjecture requires that it should be possible for an extremal black hole to emit a smaller black hole: that is, the original black hole bifurcates. For asymptotically

Black hole entropy function and the attractor mechanism in higher derivative gravity
The entropy of the black hole is given by the value of the entropy function at this extremum, and the values of the scalar fields at the horizon as well as the sizes of AdS2 and SD?2 are determined by extremizing this entropy function with respect to the corresponding parameters.
