We study relations between some topics in number theory and supersymmetric black holes. These relations are based on the ``attractor mechanism'' of N=2 supergravity. In IIB string compactification this mechanism singles out certain ``attractor varieties.'' We show that these attractor varieties are constructed from products of elliptic curves with complex multiplication for N=4 and N=8 compactifications. The heterotic dual theories are related to rational conformal field theories. In the case of N=4 theories U-duality inequivalent backgrounds with the same horizon area are counted by the class number of a quadratic imaginary field. The attractor varieties are defined over fields closely related to class fields of the quadratic imaginary field. We discuss some extensions to more general Calabi-Yau compactifications and explore further connections to arithmetic including connections to Kronecker's Jugendtraum and the theory of modular heights. The paper also includes a short review of the attractor mechanism. A much shorter version of the paper summarizing the main points is the companion note entitled ``Attractors and Arithmetic'' (hep-th/9807056).

Ramp, Plateau, and Wormholes without Averaging, and Hyper-non-perturbative Structures in Gravity
Smooth filter projection of erratic spectral data reproduces random-matrix ramp and plateau in a single chaotic system, and predicts double-exponential hyper-nonperturbative effects in holographic gravity.

The Fate of Black Hole-Induced Moduli Excursions in the Presence of Scalar Potentials
Black-hole moduli throats survive or fail according to how a potential’s force, sign, oscillations, or barrier distance behave along the GHS scalar trajectory, not by the mere presence of a mass.

Classical Black Hole Probes of UV Scales
Minimal classical BPS black holes in string compactifications track the species or KK scale in infinite-distance limits, and violations may signal inconsistent EFTs.

On the classification of duality defects in $c=2$ compact boson CFTs with a discrete group orbifold
The self-duality condition that produces duality defects in c=2 compact boson CFTs is reformulated as quadratic equations whose integer solutions can be exhaustively enumerated for almost all points in the moduli space.

Attractor Flow Versus Hesse Flow in Wall-Crossing Structures
Hesse flow and attractor flow are dual under Z-affine rotation: each becomes the dual of the other, both usable inside Kontsevich-Soibelman wall-crossing structures.

Rational points in the 6d supergravity landscape and simple current extensions
Rationality of the 2d SCFT on BPS strings provides a consistency criterion that uniquely determines the elliptic genus and global gauge group in a class of 6d supergravity models without tensor multiplets.

Spectral Curves with Complex Multiplication in Hermitian Matrix Models
The claimed j(g) formula and the associated complex multiplication coupling values are incorrect: Eq. (80) does not follow from Eqs. (78) and (79).
