Abstract
We present five-dimensional extreme black hole solutions of M-theory compactified on Calabi-Yau 3-folds and study these solutions in the context of flop transitions in the extended Kähler cone. In particular, we consider a specific model and present black hole solutions, breaking half of N = 2 supersymmetry, in two regions of the extended Kähler cone, which are connected by a flop transition. The conditions necessary to match both solutions at the flop transition are analysed. Finally, we also discuss the conditions to obtain massless black holes at the flop transition.Keywords
