Abstract
We describe the systematical construction of the first order formalism for multi-centered black holes with flat three dimensional base-space, within the so-called T 3 model of N = 2, D = 4 ungauged Maxwell-Einstein supergravity.
The three possible flow classes (BPS, composite non-BPS and almost BPS) are analyzed in detail, and various solutions, such as single-centered (static or under-rotating) and all known multi-centered black holes, are recovered in this unified framework. We also consider the possibility of obtaining new solutions.
The almost BPS class is proved to split into two general sub-classes, corresponding to a positive or negative value of the duality-invariant polynomial for the total charge; the well known almost BPS system is shown to be a particular solution of the second sub-class.
