We review recent developments concerning supersymmetric black holes in string theory. After a general introduction to the laws of black hole mechanics and to black hole entropy in string theory, we discuss black hole solutions in N = 2 supergravity, special geometry, the black hole attractor equations and the underlying variational principle. Special attention is payed to the crucial role of higher derivative corrections. Finally we discuss black hole partition functions and their relation with…

STRING THEORY EFFECTS ON FIVE-DIMENSIONAL BLACK HOLE PHYSICS

We review recent developments in understanding quantum/string corrections to BPS black holes and strings in five-dimensional supergravity. These objects are solutions to the effective action obtained…

-corrections to extremal dyonic black holes in heterotic string theory

We calculate α′2-corrections to the entropy of the 5-dimensional 3-charge and the 4-dimensional 4-charge large extremal black holes using the low energy effective action of the heterotic string…

α′2-corrections to extremal dyonic black holes in heterotic string theory

We calculate α'2-corrections to the entropy of the 5-dimensional 3-charge and the 4-dimensional 4-charge large extremal black holes using the low energy effective action of the heterotic string…

Black hole entropy function, attractors and precision counting of microstates

In these lecture notes we describe recent progress in our understanding of attractor mechanism and entropy of extremal black holes based on the entropy function formalism. We also describe precise…

Stationary rotating black holes in theories with gravitational Chern-Simons Lagrangian term

We study the effects of introducing purely gravitational Chern-Simons Lagrangian terms in ordinary Einstein gravity on stationary rotating black hole solutions and on the associated thermodynamical…

On the entropy of four-dimensional near-extremal N = 2 black holes with R2-terms

We consider the entropy of four-dimensional near-extremal N = 2 black holes. The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula has the structure of the extremal black holes entropy with a shift of the charges…

A note on exact solutions and attractor mechanism for Non-BPS black holes

We obtain two extremal, spherically symmetric, non-BPS black hole solutions to 4D supergravity, one of which carries D2-D6 charges and the other carries D0-D2-D4 charges. For the D2-D6 case, rather…

Higher derivative correction to Kaluza–Klein black hole solution

We investigate the attractor mechanism in a Kaluza–Klein black hole solution in the presence of higher derivative terms. In particular, we discuss the attractor behavior of static black holes by…

Thermodynamics of Born–Infeld black holes

We discuss the horizon structure for Born–Infeld black holes in the context of Einstein–Born–Infeld gravity. We show that the entropy function formalism agrees with a direct calculation of the…

Black holes, elementary strings and holomorphic anomaly

In a previous paper we had proposed a specific route to relating the entropy of two charge black holes to the degeneracy of elementary string states in N=4 supersymmetric heterotic string theory in…

Precision Counting of Small Black Holes

It has recently been proposed that a class of supersymmetric higher-derivative interactions in = 2 supergravity may encapsulate an infinite number of finite size corrections to the microscopic…

Exact and Asymptotic Degeneracies of Small Black Holes

We examine the recently proposed relations between black hole entropy and the topological string in the context of type II/heterotic string dual models. We consider the degeneracies of perturbative…

Microscopic black hole entropy in theories with higher derivatives

We discuss higher derivative corrections to black hole entropy in theories that allow a near horizon AdS3 × X geometry. In arbitrary theories with diffeomorphism in- variance we show how to obtain…

Exact black hole degeneracies and the topological string

Motivated by the recent conjecture of Ooguri, Strominger and Vafa, we compute the semi-canonical partition function of BPS black holes in = 4 and = 8 string theories, to all orders in perturbation…

A stringy cloak for a classical singularity

We consider a class of 4D supersymmetric black hole solutions, arising from string theory compactifications, which classically have vanishing horizon area and singular space-time geometry. String…
