Non-Supersymmetric (but) Extreme Black Holes, Scalar Hair and Other Open Problems

Abstract

We give a brief overview of black-hole solutions in four-dimensional supergravity theories and their extremal and supersymmetric limits. We also address problems like cosmic censorship and no-hair theorems in supergravity theories. While supergravity by itself seems not to be enough to enforce cosmic censorship and absence of primary scalar hair, superstring theory may be.Comment: Latex file, 18 pages (or less with optional macros included) Enhanced Version of the Contribution to the Proceedings of the XXXIII Karpacz Winter School of Theoretical Physics Duality, Strings and Fields, 13-22 February, Karpacz, Polan
