Abstract

We show that in the low-velocity limit extreme Reissner-Nordstrom black holes describe approximate geodesic motion on a 3N-dimensional parameter space. We discuss the metric and the motions in the limits that one hole is much smaller than the others and also where the holes are well separated. We also consider the quantum mechanics of these solutions.
