The Hesse potential, the c-map and black hole solutions. (English) Zbl 1397.83078

Summary: We present a new formulation of the local \(c\)-map, which makes use of a symplectically covariant real formulation of special Kähler geometry. We obtain an explicit and simple expression for the resulting quaternionic, or, in the case of reduction over time, para-quaternionic Kähler metric in terms of the Hesse potential, which is similar to the expressions for the metrics obtained from the rigid \(r\)- and \(c\)-map, and from the local \(r\)-map.As an application we use the temporal version of the \(c\)-map to derive the black hole attractor equations from geometric properties of the scalar manifold, without imposing supersymmetry or spherical symmetry. We observe that for general (non-symmetric) \(c\)-map spaces static BPS solutions are related to a canonical family of totally isotropic, totally geodesic submanifolds. Static non-BPS solutions can be obtained by applying a field rotation matrix which is subject to a non-trivial compatibility condition. We show that for a class of prepotentials, which includes the very special (’cubic’) prepotentials as a subclass, axion-free solutions always admit a non-trivial field rotation matrix.
