Black Holes in Higher Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review black-hole solutions of higher-dimensional vacuum gravity and higher-dimensional supergravity theories. The discussion of vacuum gravity is pedagogical, with detailed reviews of Myers-Perry solutions, black rings, and solution-generating techniques. We discuss black-hole solutions of maximal supergravity theories, including black holes in anti-de Sitter space. General results and open problems are discussed throughout.

Rotating Black Holes in Higher Dimensions
The properties of higher-dimensional black holes can differ significantly from those of black holes in four dimensions, since neither the uniqueness theorem, nor the staticity theorem or the topological censorship theorem generalize to higher dimensions. We first discuss black holes of Einstein-Maxwell theory and Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with spherical horizon topology. Here new typ...
متن کاملHigher dimensional black holes and supersymmetry
It has recently been shown that the uniqueness theorem for stationary black holes cannot be extended to five dimensions. However, uniqueness is an important assumption of the string theory black hole entropy calculations. This paper justifies this assumption by proving a uniqueness theorem for supersymmetric black holes in five dimensions. Some remarks concerning general properties of non-super...

متن کاملA comparative study of Dirac quasinormal modes of charged black holes in higher dimensions
In this work we study the Dirac quasinormal modes of higher dimensional charged black holes. Higher dimensional Reissner-Nordström type black holes as well as charged black holes in Einstein Gauss-Bonnet theories are studied for Fermionic perturbations using WKB methods. A comparative study of the quasinormal modes in the two different theories of gravity has been performed. The beahviour of th...
