28 Supersymmetry Dirac equation For maximal supergravity, this implies that 1 4 BPS black holes have two saturated eigen values of Z ij, z 1 2 = z 2 2 z 3 2 = z 4 2 = W 2 and moreover that the E 7(7) quartic invariant vanishes (W 1 2 Z) = 0 such that the horizon area vanishes.

45 Conclusion The Noether charge satisfies a characteristic equation.

46 Conclusion The Noether charge satisfies a characteristic equation. It is determined in function of the four-dimensional conserved charges.

47 Conclusion The Noether charge satisfies a characteristic equation. It is determined in function of the four-dimensional conserved charges. Extremal solutions are classified by nilpotent H -orbits in g h. which are Lagrangian submanifolds of the corresponding nilpotent G-orbits. are characterised by a Cayley triplet

48 Conclusion For extremal solutions of a given type, the Cayley triplet associates to the coset 1-form P a non-compact generator h of h that determines a first order system of equations [h,p] = 2P In the spherically symmetric case h = h(z) and it determines the fake superpotential. In the static case h determines the mutually local charges. In the stationary case h defines auxiliary functions that permit to render the system first order.

49 Conclusion BPS stationary composites are necessarily 1/2 BPS in an appropriate N = 2 truncation. This is the case for 1/8 BPS composites of maximal supergravity 1/4 BPS and non-bps Z = 0 composites of N = 4 supergravity non-bps Z = 0 composites in N = 2 supergravity with a symmetric moduli space.
