\(stu\) black holes unveiled (Q845372)

Summary: The general solutions of the radial attractor flow equations for extremal black holes, both for non-BPS with non-vanishing central charge \(Z\) and for \(Z = 0\), are obtained for the so-called stu model, the minimal rank-3 \(N = 2\) symmetric supergravity in \(d = 4\) space-time dimensions. Comparisons with previous results, as well as the fake supergravity (first order) formalism and an analysis of the BPS bound all along the non-BPS attractor flows and of the marginal stability of corresponding D-brane configurations, are given.
