Abstract

We construct general static black hole configuration for the theory of N=2, d=5 supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of Abelian vector multiplets. The underlying very special geometry structure plays a major role in this construction. From the viewpoint of M-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold, these black holes are identified with BPS winding states of the membrane around 2-cycles of the Calabi-Yau threefold, and thus are of importance in the probing of the phase transitions in the moduli space of M-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold.
