Abstract

We study families of solutions depending only on one coordinate for the theories of N=2, five-dimensional supergravity coupled to vector multiplets. Four families of solutions, valid for all space-time signatures, are obtained. The explicit metrics of the solutions depend on the Jordan normal forms of constrained matrices. Examples with three charges are given for the so-called STU model.
