The supersymmetric black holes of N=8 supergravity

TL;DR

This paper systematically constructs all supersymmetric black hole solutions in N=8 supergravity, providing a comprehensive classification based on timelike supersymmetric solutions.

Contribution

It offers a complete method to generate all supersymmetric black holes in N=8 supergravity, extending previous partial classifications.

Findings

All supersymmetric black-hole solutions are explicitly constructed.

The classification covers both single and multi-black-hole configurations.

The approach unifies various solutions within a general framework.

Abstract

Using the general results on the classification of timelike supersymmetric solutions of all 4-dimensional N >1 supergravity theories, we show how to construct all the supersymmetric (single- and multi-) black-hole solutions of N=8 supergravity.
