E(7) Symmetric Area of the Black Hole Horizon

Abstract

Extreme black holes with 1/8 of unbroken N=8 supersymmetry are characterized by the non-vanishing area of the horizon. The central charge matrix has four generic eigenvalues. The area is proportional to the square root of the invariant quartic form of E7(7)E_{7(7)}. It vanishes in all cases when 1/4 or 1/2 of supersymmetry is unbroken. The supergravity non-renormalization theorem for the area of the horizon in N=8 case protects the unique U-duality invariant.
