| dc.description.abstract | In this thesis, there is a study of four-dimensional black holes in type IIA string theory. The black holes are studied via a dimensional reduction from ten to five dimensions through Kaluza-Klein reduction and from five to four-dimensions via a Scherk-Schwarz reduction. This reduction can partially break the initial N = 8 supersymmetry to N = 6, 4, 2, and 0. Specifically, there is a study of the vector fields supporting four distinct black holes and an analysis of which black holes survive which Scherk-Schwarz reduction. | |
