We consider charged rotating black holes in $D=2N+1$ dimensions, $D \ge 5$. While these black holes generically possess $N$ independent angular momenta, associated with $N$ distinct planes of rotation, we here focus on black holes with…

In this paper we review some properties of BPS black holes of supergravities with n=32,16 supersymmetries. The BPS condition, a condition on the eigenvalues of the central charge matrix, can be shown to be U-duality invariant. We explicitly…
The near horizon geometry of four-dimensional black holes in the dilute gas regime is AdS_3 x S^2, and the global symmetry group is SU(2) x USp(6). This is exploited to calculate their perturbation spectrum using group theoretical methods.…
We address the derivation of the effective conformal field theory description of the 5-dimensional black hole, modelled by a collection of D1- and D5- branes, from the corresponding low energy U(Q_1)xU(Q_5) gauge theory. Finite horizon size…
We present a class of static supersymmetric multi-center black hole solutions arising in four-dimensional N=2 supergravity theories with terms quadratic in the Weyl tensor. We also comment on possible corrections to the metric on the moduli…

We quantize the moduli space of regular D1-D5 microstates, directly from Type IIB SUGRA. The moduli space is parametrized by a smooth closed non-selfintersecting curve in four dimensions, and we derive that the components of the curve…
We study non-BPS black hole solutions to ungauged supergravity with 8 supercharges coupled to vector multiplets in four and five dimensions. We identify a large class of five dimensional non-BPS solutions, which we call "almost BPS", that…
We systematically study all supersymmetric solutions of six-dimensional (2,0) supergravity with a null isometry. In particular, every such solution with at least four real supersymmetries is also a supersymmetric solution of a (1,0) theory…
We study supersymmetric, four-dimensional (4-d), Abelian charged black holes (BH's) arising in (4+n)-d (1 \le n \le 7) Kaluza-Klein (KK) theories. Such solutions, which satisfy supersymmetric Killing spinor equations (formally satisfied for…
The macroscopic entropy-area formula for supersymmetric black holes in N=2,4,8 theories is found to be universal: in d=4 it is always given by the square of the largest of the central charges extremized in the moduli space. The proof of…
We show that the asymptotic boundary conditions of general asymptotically flat black holes in four dimensions can be modified such that a conformal symmetry emerges. The black holes with the asymptotic geometry removed in this manner…
The system consisting of slowly-moving, maximally charged, nonrotating dilaton black holes is investigated. We obtain the metric on the moduli space of the system in the low-velocity limit. We find that: (1) only two-body interactions exist…

We study the possibility of having Black hole of spherical and ring horizon topology with five independent charges in the $U(1)^3$-model of 5D gauge supergravity. To study these possibilities we consider not only the known result obtained…
We solve the problem of mixing between the fixed scalar and metric fluctuations. First, we derive the decoupled fixed scalar equation for the four-dimensional black hole with two different charges. We proceed to the five-dimensional black…
