Uniqueness Theorem for Black Hole Space-Times with Multiple Disconnected Horizons
We show uniqueness of stationary and asymptotically flat black hole
space-times with multiple disconnected horizons and with two rotational Killing
vector fields in the context of five-dimensional minimal supergravity
(Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons gravity). The novelty in this work is the
introduction in the uniqueness theorem of intrinsic local charges measured near
each horizon as well as the measurement of local fluxes besides the asymptotic
charges that characterize a particular solution. A systematic method of
defining the boundary conditions on the fields that specify a black hole
space-time is given based on the study of its rod structure (domain structure).
Also, an analysis of known solutions with disconnected horizons is carried out
as an example of an application of this theorem.Comment: 28 pages, 5 figures. v3: Further improvements on uniqueness theorem,

M2-M5 blackfold funnels
We analyze the basic M2-M5 intersection in the supergravity regime using the
blackfold approach. This approach allows us to recover the 1/4-BPS self-dual
string soliton solution of Howe, Lambert and West as a three-funnel solution of
an effective fivebrane worldvolume theory in a new regime, the regime of a
large number of M2 and M5 branes. In addition, it allows us to discuss finite
temperature effects for non-extremal self-dual string soliton solutions and
wormhole solutions interpolating between stacks of M5 and anti-M5 branes. The
purpose of this paper is to exhibit these solutions and their basic properties.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figures, harvmac; typo corrected in equation (3.19
Inverse Scattering Construction of a Dipole Black Ring
Using the inverse scattering method in six dimensions we construct the dipole
black ring of five dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory with dilaton
coupling a = 2(2/3)^(1/2).The 5d theory can be thought of as the NS sector of
low energy string theory in Einstein frame. It can also be obtained by
dimensionally reducing six-dimensional vacuum gravity on a circle. Our new
approach uses GL(4, R) integrability structure of the theory inherited from
six-dimensional vacuum gravity. Our approach is also general enough to
potentially generate dipole black objects carrying multiple rotations as well
as more exotic multi-horizon configurations
Uniqueness and nonuniqueness of the stationary black holes in 5D Einstein-Maxwell and Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity
In the present paper we investigate the general problem of uniqueness of the
stationary black solutions in 5D Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity with
arbitrary dilaton coupling parameter containing the Einstein-Maxwell gravity as
a particular case. We formulate and prove uniqueness theorems classifying the
stationary black hole solutions in terms of their interval structure, electric
and magnetic charges and the magnetic fluxes. The proofs are based on the
nonpositivity of the Riemann curvature operator on the space of the potentials
which imposes restrictions on the dilaton coupling parameter.Comment: 21 pages, LaTe
Black ringoids: spinning balanced black objects in d >= 5 dimensions - the codimension-two case
We propose a general framework for the study of asymptotically flat black objects with k+1 equal magnitude angular momenta in d >= 5 spacetime dimensions (with 0 0 are dubbed black ringoids. Based on the nonperturbative numerical results found for several values of (n, k), we propose a general picture for the properties and the phase diagram of these solutions and the associated black holes with spherical horizon topology: n = 1 black ringoids repeat the k = 0 pattern of black rings and Myers-Perry black holes in 5 dimensions, whereas n > 1 black ringoids follow the pattern of higher dimensional black rings associated with 'pinched' black holes and Myers-Perry black holes
