We construct a four-parameter family of smooth, horizonless, stationary solutions of ungauged five-dimensional supergravity by using the four-dimensional Euclidean Schwarzschild metric as a base space and "magnetizing" its bolt. We then generalize this to a five-parameter family based upon the Euclidean Kerr-Taub-Bolt. These "running Bolt" solutions are necessarily non-static. They also have the same charges and mass as a non-extremal black hole with a classically-large horizon area. Moreover, in a certain regime their mass can decrease as their charges increase. The existence of these solutions supports the idea that the singularities of non-extremal black holes are resolved by low-mass modes that correct the singularity of the classical black hole solution on large (horizon-sized) scales.

  1. Generating Rotation in a Snap

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    An algebraic technique generates rotating black holes and multi-source solutions from static ones by transforming to AdS×S asymptotics, applying a rotating frame shift, and returning to flat asymptotics.

    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) d...
