Preface

This book is based upon the lectures delivered from 18 to 22 June 2007 at the INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati School on Attractor Mechanism, directed by Stefano Bellucci, with the participation of prestigious lecturers, including S. Ferrara, M. Gnaydin, P. Levay, T. Mohaupt, and A. Zichichi. All lectures were given at a pedagogical, introductory level, a feature which is reflected in the specific “flavor” of this volume, which has also benefited much from the extensive discussions and related reworking of the various contributions. This is the fourth volume in a series of books on the general topics of supersymmetry, supergravity, black holes, and the attractor mechanism. Indeed, based on previous meetings, three volumes have already been published: BELLUCCI S. (2006). Supersymmetric Mechanics – Vol. 1: Supersymmetry, Noncommutativity and Matrix Models. (vol. 698, pp. 1–229). ISBN: 3-540-33313-4. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer Verlag (Germany). Springer Lecture Notes in Physics Vol. 698. BELLUCCI S., S. FERRARA, A. MARRANI. (2006). Supersymmetric Mechanics – Vol. 2: The Attractor Mechanism and Space Time Singularities. (vol. 701, pp. 1–242). ISBN-13: 9783540341567. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer Verlag (Germany).
