Closure of the algebra of constraints for a nonprojectable Ho\v{r}ava model
We perform the Hamiltonian analysis for a nonprojectable Horava model whose
potential is composed of R and R^2 terms. We show that Dirac's algorithm for
the preservation of the constraints can be done in a closed way, hence the
algebra of constraints for this model is consistent. The model has an extra,
odd, scalar mode whose decoupling limit can be seen in a linear-order
perturbative analysis on weakly varying backgrounds.
Although our results for this model point in favor of the consistency of the
Ho\v{r}ava theory, the validity of the full nonprojectable theory still remains
unanswered.Comment: Some comments added in conclusions and abstract. Version published in

On the consistency of the Horava Theory
With the goal of giving evidence for the theoretical consistency of the
Horava Theory, we perform a Hamiltonian analysis on a classical model suitable
for analyzing its effective dynamics at large distances. The model is the
lowest-order truncation of the Horava Theory with the detailed-balance
condition. We consider the pure gravitational theory without matter sources.
The model has the same potential term of general relativity, but the kinetic
term is modified by the inclusion of an arbitrary coupling constant lambda.
Since this constant breaks the general covariance under space-time
diffeomorphisms, it is believed that arbitrary values of lambda deviate the
model from general relativity. We show that this model is not a deviation at
all, instead it is completely equivalent to general relativity in a particular
partial gauge fixing for it. In doing this, we clarify the role of a
second-class constraint of the model.Comment: The wording has been revised in general, specially in abstract,

A note on simple applications of the Killing Spinor Identities
We show how the Killing Spinor Identities (KSI) can be used to reduce the
number of independent equations of motion that need to be checked explicitly to
make sure that a supersymmetric configuration is a classical supergravity
solution. We also show how the KSI can be used to compute BPS relations between
masses and charges.Comment: 10 pages, latex2e. Comments and references added. Version to be

Supersymmetry, attractors and cosmic censorship
We show that requiring unbroken supersymmetry everywhere in black-hole-type
solutions of N=2,d=4 supergravity coupled to vector supermultiplets ensures in
most cases absence of naked singularities. We formulate three specific
conditions which we argue are equivalent to the requirement of global
supersymmetry. These three conditions can be related to absence of sources of
NUT charge, angular momentum, scalar hair and negative energy, although the
solutions can still have globally defined angular momentum and non-trivial
scalar fields, as we show in an explicit example. Furthermore, only the
solutions satisfying these requirements seem to have a microscopic
interpretation in String Theory since only they have supersymmetric sources.
These conditions exclude, for instance, singular solutions such as the
Kerr-Newman with M=|q|, which fails to be everywhere supersymmetric.
We also present a re-derivation of several results concerning attractors in
N=2,d=4 theories based in the explicit knowledge of the most general solutions
of the timelike class.Comment: 34 pages, latex file. References adde

Characterization of all the supersymmetric solutions of gauged N=1,d=5 supergravity
We find a complete characterization of all the supersymmetric solutions of
non-Abelian gauged N=1,d=5 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets and
hypermultiplets: the generic forms of the metrics as functions of the scalars
and vector fields plus the equations that all these must satisfy. These
equations are now a complicated non-linear system and there it seems impossible
to produce an algorithm to construct systematically all supersymmetric
solutions.Comment: Some references and two comments adde
