✦ Synopsis

In these lectures we give a geometrical formulation of N-extended supergravities which generalizes N 2 special geometry of N 2 theories.

In all these theories duality symmetries are related to the notion of ªflat symplectic bundlesº and central charges may be defined as ªsectionsº over these bundles. Attractor points giving rise to ªfixed scalarsº of the horizon geometry and Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula for extremal black-holes are discussed in some details.

The derivation of absolute (moduli-independent) U-invariants for all N > 2 extended supergravities at D = 4 in terms of (moduli-dependent) central and matter charges is reported. These invariants give a general denition of the \topological" Bekenstein{Hawking entropy formula for extremal black-holes
