Black holes and black strings of N=2, d=5 supergravity in the H-FGK formalism

Understand

We study general classes and properties of extremal and non-extremal static black-hole solutions of N=2, d=5 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets using the recently proposed H-FGK formalism, which we also extend to static black strings.

• We explain how to determine the integration constants and physical parameters of the black-hole and black-string solutions.
• We derive some model-independent statements, including the transformation of non-extremal flow equations to the form of those for the extremal flow.
• We apply our methods to the construction of example solutions (among others a new extremal string solution of heterotic string theory on K_3 \times S^1).
