Abstract We study the charge-to-mass ratios of BPS states in four-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supergravities arising from Calabi-Yau threefold compactifications of Type IIB string theory. We present a formula for the asymptotic charge-to-mass ratio valid for all limits in complex structure moduli space. This is achieved by using the sl(2)-structure that emerges in any such limit as described by asymptotic Hodge theory. The asymptotic charge-to-mass formula applies for sl(2)-elementary states that couple to the graviphoton asymptotically. Using this formula, we determine the radii of the ellipsoid that forms the extremality region of electric BPS black holes, which provides us with a general asymptotic bound on the charge-to-mass ratio for these theories. Finally, we comment on how these bounds for the Weak Gravity Conjecture relate to their counterparts in the asymptotic de Sitter Conjecture and Swampland Distance Conjecture.

The warped solution of Einstein's equations corresponding to the spherical brane in five-dimensional AdS is considered. This metric represents interiors of black holes on both sides of the brane and can provide gravitational trapping of physical fields on the shell. It is found that the analytic form of the coordinate transformations from the Schwarzschild to co-moving frame that exists only in five dimensions. It is shown that in the static coordinates active gravitational mass of the spherical brane, in agreement with Tolman's formula, is negative, i.e. such objects are gravitationally repulsive.

Supersymmetric extreme dyonic black holes of toroidally compactified heterotic or type-II string theory can be viewed as lower-dimensional images of solitonic strings wound around a compact dimension. We consider conformal sigma models which describe string configurations corresponding to various extreme dyonic black holes in four and five dimensions. These conformal models have regular short-distance region equivalent to a WZW theory with level proportional to magnetic charges. Arguments are presented suggesting a universal relation between the black hole entropy (area) and the statistical entropy of BPS-saturated oscillation states of solitonic string.

An algorithm for constructing general static black hole configuration for the theory of N=2, d= 5 supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of Abelain vector multiplets is given. The underlying very special geometry structure plays a major role in this construction. From the viewpoint of M-theory compactified on a Calabi–Yau threefold, these black holes are identified with BPS winding states of the membrane around two-cycles of the Calabi–Yau threefold, and thus are of importance in the probing of the phase transitions in the moduli space of M-theory compactified on a Calabi–Yau threefold.

We carry out a general analysis of the representations of the superconformal algebras OSp(8/4, ℝ) and OSp(8*/2N) in terms of harmonic superspace. We present a construction of their highest-weight UIR's by multiplication of the different types of massless conformal superfields ("supersingletons"). Particular attention is paid to the so-called "short multiplets". Representations undergoing shortening have "protected dimension" and may correspond to BPS states in the dual supergravity theory in anti-de Sitter space. These results are relevant for the classification of multitrace operators in boundary conformally invariant theories as well as for the classification of AdS black holes preserving different fractions of supersymmetry.
