abstract

The vacuum Einstein equations in five dimensions are shown to admit a solution describing an asymptotically flat spacetime regular on and outside an event horizon of topology S^1 x S^2. It describes a rotating ``black ring''. This is the first example of an asymptotically flat vacuum solution with an event horizon of non-spherical topology. There is a range of values for the mass and angular momentum for which there exist two black ring solutions as well as a black hole solution. Therefore the uniqueness theorems valid in four dimensions do not have simple higher dimensional generalizations. It is suggested that increasing the spin of a five dimensional black hole beyond a critical value results in a transition to a black ring, which can have an arbitrarily large angular momentum for a given mass.

Trapped Surface as a Cosmic Censor

gr-qc · 2026-06-11 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

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.

Five-dimensional Geometry from Spinning Amplitudes

hep-th · 2026-05-28 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The classical limit of five-dimensional spinning amplitudes reproduces the multipole expansion of five-dimensional black holes after augmenting with the Hodge dual of the spin tensor, and identifies amplitudes corresponding to the Myers-Perry solution.

Non-supersymmetric F1-P black rings

hep-th · 2026-01-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Singly and doubly spinning non-supersymmetric F1-P black ring solutions are constructed in 5D supergravity, with the doubly spinning case admitting an extremal limit where entropy S equals 2 pi times the S^2 angular momentum J_phi.

On regular black string spacetimes in nonlinear electrodynamics

gr-qc · 2026-03-23 · conditional · novelty 6.0

For cylindrical black strings, NED Lagrangians with a Maxwell weak-field limit cannot produce regular purely electric or dyonic cores; regular magnetic Bardeen/Hayward analogues exist but violate causality near the axis.

Gravitational multipoles from scattering amplitudes in higher dimensions

hep-th · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In five dimensions, minimally coupled massive vector and antisymmetric tensor fields produce only mass or stress quadrupoles respectively from scattering amplitudes, failing to match the Myers-Perry black hole and demonstrating breakdown of spin universality.

Weyl-type solutions with multipolar scalar fields

gr-qc · 2026-04-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

New exact solutions to d-dimensional Einstein-scalar gravity are generated in Weyl form that incorporate multipolar scalars and magnetic fields, with limits matching scalar versions of Schwarzschild-Melvin and Fisher-Janis-Newman-Winicour spacetimes.

Monodromy-Matrix Description of Extremal Multi-centered Black Holes

hep-th · 2026-04-07 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The authors derive explicit monodromy matrices for Bena-Warner BPS solutions and almost-BPS configurations including two-center black rings, factorize them via nilpotent elements of so(4,4), and construct an SO(4,4) duality relating branches of the Rasheed-Larsen solution.

The Role of the Volume in Black Hole Thermodynamics

gr-qc · 2026-06-29 · conditional · novelty 5.0

Conserved charges built from a Kerr-Schild background show the first law requires the Killing vector and AdS background to be held fixed, explaining why the rotating-frame energy F fails while E works, and why the geometric volume appears in the β Smarr relation.

Probing decoupled Throats of AdS$_{D}$ Black Holes in $D=6,7$

hep-th · 2025-11-19 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Near-EVH limits of AdS6 and AdS7 black holes produce conformally related lower-dimensional black hole solutions in EMMD gravity, opening a potential path to microscopic entropy counting for non-AdS black holes via higher-dimensional AdS/CFT.

Superradiance -- the 2020 Edition

gr-qc · 2015-01-26 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Black-hole superradiance extracts energy via the ergoregion and can trigger instabilities with applications to dark matter, beyond-Standard-Model physics, and laboratory analogs.
