abstract
We construct extremal, spherically symmetric black hole solutions to 4D supergravity with charge assignments that preclude BPS-saturation. In particular, we determine the ground state energy as a function of charges and moduli. We find that the mass of the non-BPS black hole remains that of a marginal bound state of four basic constituents throughout the entire moduli space and that there is always a non-zero gap above the BPS bound.

In pure N=4 Poincaré supergravity, all extremal spherically symmetric attractors (constant or non-constant moduli) preserve 1/4 supersymmetry for generic charges with I4>0; non-BPS attractors cannot occur.

Supersymmetry and Attractors in N = 4 Supergravity: The Superconformal Approach
In pure N=4 Poincaré supergravity, all extremal spherically symmetric attractors (constant or non-constant moduli) preserve 1/4 supersymmetry for generic charges with I4>0; non-BPS attractors cannot occur.
