abstract
We review uniqueness theorems as well as other general results about higher dimensional black hole spacetimes. This includes in particular theorems about the topology of higher dimensional spacetimes, theorems about their symmetries (rigidity theorem), and the classification of supersymmetric black holes. We outline the basic ideas underlying the proofs of these statements, and we also indicate ways to generalize some of these results to more general contexts, such as more complicated theories.

Trapped Surface as a Cosmic Censor
A trapped-surface criterion, derived under null convergence and generic conditions, rules out superextremal Reissner-Nordström, Kerr-Newman, and related final states in overcharging thought experiments without using asymptotic charges.
