Distributions of extremal black holes in Calabi-Yau compactifications

Abstract We study non-supersymmetric extremal black hole excitations of 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric string vacua arising from compactification on Calabi-Yau threefolds. The values of the (vector multiplet) moduli at the black hole horizon are governed by the attractor mechanism. This r...

Description
Summary:Abstract We study non-supersymmetric extremal black hole excitations of 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric string vacua arising from compactification on Calabi-Yau threefolds. The values of the (vector multiplet) moduli at the black hole horizon are governed by the attractor mechanism. This raises natural questions, such as “what is the distribution of attractor points on moduli space?” and “how many attractor black holes are there with horizon area up to a certain size?” We employ tools developed by Denef and Douglas [1] to answer these questions.
