A black ring is a five-dimensional black hole with an event horizon of topology S1 x S2. We provide an introduction to the description of black rings in general relativity and string theory. Novel aspects of the presentation include a new approach to constructing black ring coordinates and a critical review of black ring microscopics.

    hep-th 2026-01 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 m...
