We analyze aspects of extant examples of 2d extremal chiral (super)conformal field theories with $cleq 24$. These are theories whose only operators with dimension smaller or equal to $c/24$ are the vacuum and its (super)Virasoro descendents. The prototypical example is the monster CFT, whose famous genus zero property is intimately tied to the Rademacher summability of its twined partition functions, a property which also distinguishes the functions of Mathieu and umbral moonshine. However, there are now several additional known examples of extremal CFTs, all of which have at least $mathcal N=1$ supersymmetry and global symmetry groups connected to sporadic simple groups. We investigate the extent to which such a property, which distinguishes the monster moonshine module from other $c=24$ chiral CFTs, holds for the other known extremal theories. We find that in most cases, the special Rademacher summability property present for monstrous and umbral moonshine does not hold for the other extremal CFTs, with the exception of the Conway module and two $c=12, ~mathcal N=4$ superconformal theories with $M_{11}$ and $M_{22}$ symmetry. This suggests that the connection between extremal CFT, sporadic groups, and mock modular forms transcends strict Rademacher summability criteria.

We consider the Attractor Equations of particular $mathcal{N}=2$, d=4 supergravity models whose vector multiplets scalar manifold is endowed with homogeneous symmetric cubic special K{a}hler geometry, namely of the so-called $st^{2}$ and $stu$ models . In this framework, we derive explicit expressions for the critical moduli corresponding to non-BPS attractors with vanishing $mathcal{N}=2$ central charge. Such formulae hold for a generic black hole charge configuration, and they are obtained without formulating any textit{ad hoc} simplifying assumption. We find that such attractors are related to the 1/2-BPS ones by complex conjugation of some moduli. By uplifting to $mathcal{N}=8$, d=4 supergravity, we give an interpretation of such a relation as an exchange of two of the four eigenvalues of the $mathcal{N}=8$ central charge matrix $Z_{AB}$. We also consider non-BPS attractors with non-vanishing $mathcal{Z}$; for peculiar charge configurations, we derive solutions violating the Ansatz usually formulated in literature. Finally, by group-theoretical considerations we relate Cayleys hyperdeterminant (the invariant of the stu model) to the invariants of the st^{2} and of the so-called t^{3} model.
Using the symmetry of the near-horizon geometry and applying quantum field theory of a complex scalar field, we study the spontaneous pair production of charged scalars from near-extremal rotating, electrically and/or magnetically charged black holes . Analytical expressions for pair production, vacuum persistence and absorption cross section are found, and the spectral distribution is given a thermal interpretation. The pair production in near-extremal black holes has a factorization into the Schwinger effect in AdS and Schwinger effect in Rindler space, measuring the deviational from extremality. The associated holographical correspondence is confirmed at the 2-point function level by comparing the absorption cross section ratio as well as the pair production rate both from the gravity and the conformal field theories. The production of monopoles is discussed.
We consider the fist order, gradient-flow, description of the scalar fields coupled to spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat black holes in extended supergravities. Using the identification of the fake superpotential with Hamiltons characteristi c function we clarify some of its general properties, showing in particular (besides reviewing the issue of its duality invariance) that W has the properties of a Liapunovs function, which implies that its extrema (associated with the horizon of extremal black holes) are asymptotically stable equilibrium points of the corresponding first order dynamical system (in the sense of Liapunov). Moreover, we show that the fake superpotential W has, along the entire radial flow, the same flat directions which exist at the attractor point. This allows to study properties of the ADM mass also for small black holes where in fact W has no critical points at finite distance in moduli space. In particular the W function for small non-BPS black holes can always be computed analytically, unlike for the large black-hole case.
We investigate the hypothesis that the higher-derivative corrections always make extremal non-supersymmetric black holes lighter than the classical bound and self-repulsive. This hypothesis was recently formulated in the context of the so-called swam pland program. One of our examples involves an extremal heterotic black hole in four dimensions. We also calculate the effect of general four-derivative terms in Maxwell-Einstein theories in D dimensions. The results are consistent with the conjecture.
Recently, the modular linear differential equation (MLDE) for level-two congruence subgroups $Gamma_theta, Gamma^{0}(2)$ and $Gamma_0(2)$ of $text{SL}_2(mathbb{Z})$ was developed and used to classify the fermionic rational conformal field theories (R CFT). Two character solutions of the second-order fermionic MLDE without poles were found and their corresponding CFTs are identified. Here we extend this analysis to explore the landscape of three character fermionic RCFTs obtained from the third-order fermionic MLDE without poles. Especially, we focus on a class of the fermionic RCFTs whose Neveu-Schwarz sector vacuum character has no free-fermion currents and Ramond sector saturates the bound $h^{text{R}} ge frac{c}{24}$, which is the unitarity bound for the supersymmetric case. Most of the solutions can be mapped to characters of the fermionized WZW models. We find the pairs of fermionic CFTs whose characters can be combined to produce $K(tau)$, the character of the $c=12$ fermionic CFT for $text{Co}_0$ sporadic group.
