Supersymmetric Branes in AdS_2 x S^2 x CY_3

Abstract

The problem of finding supersymmetric brane configurations in the near-horizon attractor geometry of a Calabi-Yau black hole with magnetic-electric charges (p^I,q_I) is considered. Half-BPS configurations, which are static for some choice of global AdS2 coordinate, are found for wrapped brane configurations with essentially any four-dimensional charges (u^I,v_I). Half-BPS multibrane configurations can also be found for any collection of wrapped branes provided they all have the same sign for the symplectic inner product p^Iv_I-u^Iq_I of their charges with the black hole charges. This contrasts with the Minkowski problem for which a mutually preserved supersymmetry requires alignment of all the charge vectors. The radial position of the branes in global AdS2 is determined by the phase of their central charge.
