abstract

We explore the physical consequences of a recently discovered class of exact solutions to five dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory. We find a number of surprising features including: (1) In the presence of a Kaluza-Klein bubble, there are arbitrarily large black holes with topology S^3. (2) In the presence of a black hole or a black string, there are expanding bubbles (with de Sitter geometry) which never reach null infinity. (3) A bubble can hold two black holes of arbitrary size in static equilibrium. In particular, two large black holes can be close together without merging to form a single black hole.

Generating Rotation in a Snap

hep-th · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

An algebraic construction generates rotating solutions from static Weyl-class metrics in 5D minimal supergravity by using AdS×S asymptotics and frame shifts, recovering Kerr/Myers-Perry and producing a linear ansatz for multiple non-extremal rotating charged sources.
