We reconsider the sub-leading quantum perturbative corrections to N = 2 cubic special Kähler geometries. Imposing the invariance under axion-shifts, all such corrections (but the imaginary constant one) can be introduced or removed through suitable, lower unitriangular symplectic transformations, dubbed PecceiQuinn (PQ) transformations.Since PQ transformations do not belong to the d = 4 U -duality group G 4 , in symmetric cases they generally have a non-trivial action on the unique quartic invariant polynomial I 4 of the charge representation R of G 4 . This leads to interesting phenomena in relation to theory of extremal black hole attractors; namely, the possibility to make transitions between different charge orbits of R, with corresponding change of the supersymmetry properties of the supported attractor solutions. Furthermore, a suitable action of PQ transformations can also set I 4 to zero, or vice versa it can generate a non-vanishing I 4 : this corresponds to transitions between "large" and "small" charge orbits, which we classify in some detail within the "special coordinates" symplectic frame.Finally, after a brief account of the action of PQ transformations on the recently established correspondence between Cayley's hyperdeterminant and elliptic curves, we derive an equivalent, alternative expression of I 4 , with relevant application to black hole entropy.
