Moduli space of supersymmetric solitons and black holes in five dimensions
We determine all asymptotically flat, supersymmetric and biaxisymmetric
soliton and black hole solutions to five dimensional minimal supergravity. In
particular, we show that the solution must be a multi-centred solution with a
Gibbons-Hawking base. The proof involves combining local constraints from
supersymmetry with global constraints for stationary and biaxisymmetric
spacetimes. This reveals that the horizon topology must be one of S^3, S^1 x
S^2 or a lens space L(p,1), thereby providing a refinement of the allowed
horizon topologies. We construct the general smooth solution for each possible
rod structure. We find a large moduli space of black hole spacetimes with
noncontractible 2-cycles for each of the allowed horizon topologies. In the
absence of a black hole we obtain a classification of the known `bubbling'
soliton spacetimes.Comment: v2: 43 pages, 5 figures, references added, typos fixed, minor
