Abstract

We show that the moduli space of supersymmetric black holes that arise in the five-dimensional N=2 supergravity theory with any number of vector multiplets is a weak HKT manifold. The moduli metric is expressed in terms of a HKT potential which is determined by the associated very special geometry of the supergravity theory. As an example, we give explicitly the black hole moduli metric for the STU model.
