Black Holes in Supergravity and String Theory
by Thomas Mohaupt
Publisher: arXiv 2000
Number of pages: 64
Description:
We give an elementary introduction to black holes in supergravity and string theory. The focus is on BPS solutions in four- and higher-dimensional supergravity and string theory. Basic ideas and techniques are explained in detail, including exercises with solutions.
