A rotating black ring in five dimensions
read the original 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.

Gravitational multipoles from scattering amplitudes in higher dimensions
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 dem...

Weyl-type solutions with multipolar scalar fields
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-...

On regular black strings spacetimes in nonlinear electrodynamics
No regular purely electric black strings exist in NED recovering the Maxwell limit, but regular cylindrical Bardeen and Hayward analogues are constructed with finite curvature.
