Abstract
We review some recent results on the sigma-model properties of the sca lar manifold of N = 2 theory, specifically the symplectic structure of special geometry. As a consequence we derive sum rules for the physic al charges of the vector multiplets and their interpretation in terms of the cohomology of a Calabi-Yau threefold. A discussion of the gener al properties of the scalar potential is also given.
