Abstract

We derive the U-duality charge orbits, as well as the related moduli spaces, of ``large'' and ``small'' extremal black holes in nonmaximal ungauged Maxwell-Einstein supergravities with symmetric scalar manifolds in d=5 space-time dimensions. The stabilizer groups of the various classes of orbits are obtained by determining and solving suitable U-invariant sets of constraints, both in ``bare'' and ``dressed'' charge bases, with various methods. After a general treatment of attractors in real special geometry (also considering nonsymmetric cases), the N=2 ``magic'' theories, as well as the N=2 Jordan symmetric sequence, are analyzed in detail. Finally, the half-maximal (N=4) matter-coupled supergravity is also studied in this context.
