Non-Supersymmetric Unattractors in Born-Infeld Black Holes
We investigate unattractor behavior in non-extremal black holes in Einstein-Born-Infeld-Dilaton theory of gravity in four-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetime. We obtain solutions which are non-singular near the horizon and dependent on the value of the dilaton field at the infinity, using perturbation method. It is shown that the value of the scalar field at the horizon is determined by its asymptotic value and the charges carried by the black hole. And we also find it is not true in general that the dilaton value at the horizon is a monotonically increasing function of the first coefficient of its series expansion in non-extremal Born-Infeld black holes.

Thermal aspects of the ABJM theory: currents and condensations
To study thermal aspects of the ABJM theory in the strongly coupled regime, we carry out the invariant dimensional reduction of the type IIA supergravity down to four dimensions. We then investigate zero and finite temperature responses of the operators which are dual to the AdS scalar and vector fields. Two scalar operators are shown to have finite-temperature condensations by coupling of the constant source term. The currents dual to the massless and massive gauge fields are not induced by coupling of the constant boundary vector potential, which implies that the phase described by the black brane background is not superconducting. We also discuss a generalization to charged (dyonic) black holes.

Calabi-Yau Manifolds, Hermitian Yang-Mills Instantons, and Mirror Symmetry
We address the issue of why Calabi-Yau manifolds exist with a mirror pair. We observe that the irreducible spinor representation of the Lorentz group requires us to consider the vector spaces of two forms and four forms on an equal footing. The doubling of the two-form vector space due to the Hodge duality doubles the variety of six-dimensional spin manifolds. We explore how the doubling is related to the mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Via the gauge theory formulation of six-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, we show that the curvature tensor of a Calabi-Yau manifold satisfies the Hermitian Yang-Mills equations on the Calabi-Yau manifold. Therefore, the mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds can be recast as the mirror pair of Hermitian Yang-Mills instantons. We discuss the mirror symmetry from the gauge theory perspective.

Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton Black Branes with Arbitrary Tension and Dilaton Charge
In this note, we show that special choice of the metric ansatz simplifies the equations of motion for black branes. Then we use the trick to construct charged, dilatonic black branes of Einstein–Maxwell–dilaton gravity in D = n + p + 2 dimensions, which are invariant under translation along p directions and have spherical symmetry of Sn. The solutions are characterized by mass density and tension, magnetic charges, dilaton charge and coupling constant.

DOMAIN WALLS IN AdS-EINSTEIN-SCALAR GRAVITY
In this paper, we show that the supergravity theory which is dual to ABJM field theory can be consistently reduced to scalar-coupled AdS-Einstein gravity and then consider the reflection symmetric domain wall and its small fluctuation. It is also shown that this domain wall solution is none other than dimensional reduction of M2-brane configuration.
