: We derive new algebraic attractor equations describing supersymmetric ﬂux vacua of type IIB string theory. The ﬁrst term in these equations, proportional to the gravitino mass (the central charge), is similar to the attractor equations for moduli ﬁxed by the charges near the horizon of the supersymmetric black holes. The second term does not have a counterpart in the theory of black hole attractors. It is proportional to a mass matrix mixing axino-dilatino with complex structure modulino. This allows stabilization of moduli for vanishing central charge, which was not possible for BPS black holes. Finally, we propose a new set of attractor equations for non-supersymmetric black holes and for non-supersymmetric ﬂux vacua.

In recent months (N= 2 non-BPS) non-supersymmetric extremal black hole attractors have been studied in the literature [56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 52, 65, 66], also in the case of non-homogeneous (and non-symme”
Black hole partition functions and duality (2006, background): “For black holes whose area vanishes classically, there remain discrepancies at the semiclassical level and beyond, the nature of which is not fully understood at present.”
Black hole microstates and attractor without supersymmetry (2006, background): “For a general class of two derivative actions describing gravity coupled to scalar fields and abelian gauge fields, extremal black holes are known to exhibit attractor phenomenon under certain conditions even without supersymmetry [20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28].”
Non-minimal Inflationary Attractors (2013, background): “From the purely theoretical perspective, one may recall that the discovery of the black hole attractor mechanism [23] was a starting point of a long series of fruitful investigations in supergravity and string theory.”
Near-horizon symmetries of extremal black holes (2007, background): “ersymmetric black holes [1, 2, 3], then realized that it still applies in the presence of certain higher-derivative corrections [4, 5, 6], and most recently extended to non-supersymmetric black holes [7, 8, 9]. This has led to an explanation [10] of the success of string theory calculations of the e”
The Non-BPS black hole attractor equation (2006, methodology): “Substituting these expressions into the expansion, we obtain (in agreement with [3], [12] and [14]) the Hodge-decomposition of the 3-form flux as: H3 = 2Im [ Z Ω̄3 + DāZGDaΩ3 ] = Im ∫”
Non-supersymmetric attractors (2005, background): “As noted in [67] and [5] (in slightly different notation), for BPS solutions, each term of the potential is separately extremised while for non-BPS solutions VBH is extremised but DZ 6= 0.”
Lectures on black holes, topological strings and quantum attractors (2006, background): “ interest for the quantization of attractor ﬂows arises from the analogy between black hole attractor equations and the equations that determine supersymmetric vacua in ﬂux compactiﬁcations (see e.g. [15] for a recent discussion). Upon double analytic continuation, one may hope to relate the black h”
Extremal black holes in supergravity (2006, background): “Quite recently it has been recognized that the attractor mechanism, which is responsible for the area/entropy relation, has a larger application [31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36] beyond the BPS cases, being a peculiarity of all extremal blackhole configurations, BPS or not.”
