Description
In this talk, we will discuss the attractor mechanism for the extremal black holes which do not preserve any supersymmetry. We will construct examples of such black holes in the type IIA string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold. These black holes are very much similar to their supersymmetric counterparts. However there are some important differences between them. For example, the issue of stability for the non-supersymmetric black holes remains to be verified explicitly. We will discuss this issue in some what detail and see the effect of quantum corrections on it.
