Abstract

We investigate the attractor mechanism in Kaluza-Klein black hole solution in the presence of higher derivative terms. In particular, we discuss the attractor behavior of static black holes by using the effective potential approach as well as entropy function formalism. We consider different higher derivative terms with a general coupling to moduli field. For the R2R^2 theory, we use effective potential approach, looking for solutions which are analytic near the horizon and show that they exist and enjoy the attractor behavior. The attractor point is determined by extremization of the modified effective potential at the horizon. We study the effect of the general higher derivative corrections of RnR^n terms. Using the entropy function we define the modified effective potential and we find the conditions to have the attractor solution. In particular for a single charged Kaluza-Klein black hole solution we show that higher derivative correction dresses the naked singularity for an appropriate coupling, and we can find the attractor solution.
