v 1 9 O ct 1 99 6 Uniqueness of stationary , electro – vacuum black holes revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years there has been some progress in the understanding of the global structure of stationary black hole space–times. In this paper we review some new results concerning the structure of stationary black hole space–times. In particular we prove a corrected version of the “black hole rigidity theorem”, and we prove a uniqueness theorem for static black holes with degenerate connected horizons. This paper is an expanded version of a lecture given at the Journées relativistes in Ascona, May 1996.

Stationary Black Holes: Uniqueness and Beyond
The spectrum of known black hole solutions to the stationary Einstein equations has increased in an unexpected way during the last decade. In particular, it has turned out that not all black hole equilibrium configurations are characterized by their mass, angular momentum and global charges. Moreover, the high degree of symmetry displayed by vacuum and electro-vacuum black hole space-times ceas...

We criticize and generalize some properties of Nöther charges presented in a paper by V. Iyer and R. M. Wald and their application to entropy of black holes. The first law of black holes thermodynamics is proven for any gauge-natural field theory. As an application charged Kerr-Newman solutions are considered. As a further example we consider a (1 + 2) black hole solution. 1

Various assumptions underlying the uniqueness theorems for black holes are discussed. Some new results are described, and various unsatisfactory features of the present theory are stressed. 1 Folklore, Conjectures A classical result in the theory of black holes, known under the name of “no–hair Theorem”, is the following: Theorem 1.1 Let (M, g) be a good electro–vacuum space–time with a non– em...

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 کاملUniqueness and Non-Uniqueness of Static Vacuum Black Holes in Higher Dimensions
With the development of string theory, black holes in higher-dimensional spacetimes have come to play a fundamental role in physics 1). Furthermore, the possibility of black hole production in high energy experiments has recently been suggested in the context of the so-called TeV gravity 2). A TeV-size black hole in TeV gravity is small enough to be well approximated by an asymptotically flat b...
