We study the critical points of the black hole scalar potential V BH in N = 2, d = 4 supergravity coupled to nV vector multiplets, in an asymptotically flat extremal black hole background described by a 2(nV+1)-dimensional dyonic charge vector and (complex) scalar fields which are coordinates of a special Kähler manifold. For the case of homogeneous symmetric spaces, we find three general classes of regular attractor solutions with nonvanishing Bekenstein–Hawking entropy. They correspond to three (inequivalent) classes of orbits of the charge vector, which is in a 2(nV+1)-dimensional representation RV of the U-duality group. Such orbits are nondegenerate, namely they have nonvanishing quartic invariant (for rank-3 spaces). Other than the ½-BPS one, there are two other distinct non-BPS classes of charge orbits, one of which has vanishing central charge. The three species of solutions to the N = 2 extremal black hole attractor equations give rise to different mass spectra of the scalar fluctuations, whose pattern can be inferred by using invariance properties of the critical points of V BH and some group theoretical considerations on homogeneous symmetric special Kähler geometry.

AbstractWe describe natural deformation classes of generalized Kähler structures using the Courant symmetry group, which determine natural extensions of the notions of Kähler class and Kähler cone to generalized Kähler geometry. We show that the generalized Kähler-Ricci flow preserves this generalized Kähler cone, and the underlying real Poisson tensor.
