BPS Black Hole Horizons in N=2 Gauged Supergravity

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study static BPS black hole horizons in four dimensional N=2 gauged supergravity coupled to nvn_v-vector multiplets and with an arbitrary cubic prepotential. We work in a symplectically covariant formalism which allows for both electric and magnetic gauging parameters as well as dyonic background charges and obtain the general solution to the BPS equations for horizons of the form AdS2×ΣgAdS_2\times Σ_g. In particular this means we solve for the scalar fields as well as the metric of these black holes as a function of the gauging parameters and background charges. When the special Kahler manifold is a symmetric space, our solution is completely explicit and the entropy is related to the familiar quartic invariant. For more general models our solution is implicit up to a set of holomorphic quadratic equations. For particular models which have known embeddings in M-theory, we derive new horizon geometries with dyonic charges and numerically construct black hole solutions. These correspond to M2-branes wrapped on a Riemann surface in a local Calabi-Yau five-fold with internal spin.
