In this article, we consistently reduce the equations of motion for the bosonic N = 2 supergravity action, using a multi-centered black hole ansatz for the metric. This reduction is done in a general, non-supersymmetric setup, in which we…

U-duality plays a special role in the study of the microscopic degrees of freedom of supersymmetric black holes. To be consistent with duality, the black hole quantum degeneracy must obey special arithmetic properties, which are…
Logarithmic corrections to the extremal black hole entropy can be computed purely in terms of the low energy data -- the spectrum of massless fields and their interaction. The demand of reproducing these corrections provides a strong…
