On D=4 Stationary Black Holes

We review some recent results concerning non-extremal and extremal stationary, asymptotically flat black hole solutions in extended D = 4 supergravities, and their properties with respect to the global symmetries of the theory. More specifically we refer to the effective three-dimensional description of these solutions and their classification within orbits with respect to the action of the global symmetry group, illustrating, for single-center solutions, the general mathematical relation between the orbits of non-extremal and extremal black hole
