Abstract

We examine supersymmetry of four-dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) dyonic black holes in the context of gauged N = 2 supergravity. Our calculations concentrate on black holes with unusual topology and their rotating generalizations, but we also reconsider the spherical rotating dyonic Ker-Newman-AdS black hole, whose supersymmetry properties have previously been investigated by Kostelecký and Perry within another approach. We find that in the case of spherical, toroidal or cylindrical event horizon topology, the black holes must rotate in order to preserve some supersymmetry; the non-rotating supersymmetric configurations representing naked singularities. However, we show that this is no more true for black holes whose event horizons are Riemann surfaces of genus g > 1, where we find a non-rotating extremal solitonic black hole carrying magtetic charge and permitting one Killing spinor. For the non-rotating supersymmetric configurations of various topologies, all Killing spinors are explicitly constructed.
