Black Holes in Higher Dimensions
by Roberto Emparan, Harvey S. Reall
Publisher: arXiv 2008
Number of pages: 77
Description:
We review black hole solutions of higher-dimensional vacuum gravity, and of higher-dimensional supergravity theories. The discussion of vacuum gravity is pedagogical, with detailed reviews of Myers-Perry solutions, black rings, and solution-generating techniques. We discuss black hole solutions of maximal supergravity theories, including black holes in anti-de Sitter space.

BPS Black Holes in Supergravity
by Riccardo D'Auria, Pietro Fre' - arXiv
In these lectures we explain the concept of supergravity p-branes and BPS black holes. The Lectures are meant to be introductory and self contained for non supersymmetry experts but at the same time fully detailed and complete on the subject.

New Lectures on Supergravity
by Nilo Serpa - arXiv
This essay aims to summarize the main physical features arising from a new supersymmetric theory of gravitation. It deals with gravity inside the limits of a meta-field theory, that is, a non-quantized but consistent representation of supergravity.

Introduction to Supergravity
by Henning Samtleben - Leibniz Universität
There are several reasons to consider the combination of supersymmetry and gravitation. The foremost is that if supersymmetry turns out to be realized at all in nature, then it must eventually appear in the context of gravity.
