We study attractor mechanism in extremal black holes of Einstein-Born-Infeld theories in four dimensions. We look for solutions which are regular near the horizon and show that they exist and enjoy the attractor behavior. The attractor…
We discuss some of the basic features of extremal black holes in four-dimensional extended supergravities. Firstly, all regular solutions display an attractor behavior for the scalar field evolution towards the black hole horizon. Secondly,…

We derive extremal black hole solutions for a variety of four dimensional models which, after Kaluza-Klein reduction, admit a description in terms of 3D gravity coupled to a sigma model with symmetric target space. The solutions are in…
We construct dynamical black hole solutions to Einstein Equations in presence of matter in the large $D$ limit. The matter stress tensors that we consider are weak in the sense that they source asymptotic spacetimes with internal curvatures…
We study extremal black hole solutions of D=5 Gauss-Bonnet gravity coupled to a system of gauge and scalar fields. As in Einstein gravity, we find that the values of the scalar fields on the horizon must extremize a certain effective…
