Charged Rotating Kaluza-Klein Black Holes Generated by G2(2) Transformation

Applying the G_{2(2)} generating technique for minimal D=5 supergravity to the Rasheed black hole solution, we present a new rotating charged Kaluza-Klein black hole solution to the five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons equations. At infinity, our solution behaves as a four-dimensional flat spacetime with a compact extra dimension and hence describes a Kaluza-Klein black hole. In particlar, the extreme solution is non-supersymmetric, which is contrast to a static case. Our solution has the limits to the asymptotically flat charged rotating black hole solution and a new charged rotating black string solution.Comment: 24 page

Topology Change of Coalescing Black Holes on Eguchi-Hanson Space

We construct multi-black hole solutions in the five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with a positive cosmological constant on the Eguchi-Hanson space, which is an asymptotically locally Euclidean space. The solutions describe the physical process such that two black holes with the topology of S^3 coalesce into a single black hole with the topology of the lens space L(2;1)=S^3/Z_2. We discuss how the area of the single black hole after the coalescence depends on the topology of the horizon.Comment: 10 pages, Some comments are added. to be published as a letter in Classical and Quantum Gravit

The Black Di-Ring: An Inverse Scattering Construction

We use the inverse scattering method (ISM) to derive concentric non-supersymmetric black rings. The approach used here is fully five-dimensional, and has the modest advantage that it generalizes readily to the construction of more general axi-symmetric solutions.Comment: v3: 2 subsections added, typos fixed, more refs, journal version. v4: a transcription error in the ADM mass fixe

Charged Black Holes in a Rotating Gross-Perry-Sorkin Monopole Background

We present a new class of stationary charged black hole solutions to five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theories. We construct the solutions by utilizing so called the squashing transformation. At infinity, our solutions behave as a four-dimensional flat spacetime plus a `circle' and hence describe a Kaluza-Klein black hole. More precisely, our solutions can be viewed as a charged rotating black hole in a rotating Gross-Perry-Sorkin monopole background with the black hole rotation induced from the background rotation.Comment: 25 pages, 6 figure

Supersymmetric Black Rings on Eguchi-Hanson Space

We construct new supersymmetric black ring solutions on the Eguchi-Hanson base space as solutions of five-dimensional minimal supergravity. The solutions have the same two angular momentum components and the asymptotic structure on timeslices is asymptotically locally Euclidean. The S^1-direction of the black ring is along the equator on a S^2-bolt on the Eguchi-Hanson space. We also investigate the limit to a black hole, which describes the BMPV black hole with the topology of the lens space L(2;1)=S^3/Z_2.Comment: 21 page

Small Horizons

All near horizon geometries of supersymmetric black holes in a N=2, D=5 higher-derivative supergravity theory are classified. Depending on the choice of near-horizon data we find that either there are no regular horizons, or horizons exist and the spatial cross-sections of the event horizons are conformal to a squashed or round S^3, S^1 * S^2, or T^3. If the conformal factor is constant then the solutions are maximally supersymmetric. If the conformal factor is not constant, we find that it satisfies a non-linear vortex equation, and the horizon may admit scalar hair.Comment: 21 pages, latex. Typos corrected and reference adde

Opposite field septum magnet system for the separation of charged particle beams

Abstract-The Japan Hadron Facility (JHF) accelerator complex comprises a 50-GeV main synchrotron, a 3-GeV rapid-cycling synchrotron, and a 400-MeV linac. The accelerators provide high-intensity, high-energy proton beams for various scientific fields. These high-intensity, high-energy accelerators, especially the 50-GeV main synchrotron, impose tight demands on the injection/extraction septum magnets for a thin structure, large aperture and high operating field. But to manufacture high field septum magnets on the condition of a large aperture is very difficult because of its extraordinarily strong electromagnetic force due to the self-field. To cope with these tight demands, new design concepts of septa are required. An opposite-field septum magnet system is one of the solutions to realize a thin septa or very high-field septum magnets

A Higher Dimensional Stationary Rotating Black Hole Must be Axisymmetric

A key result in the proof of black hole uniqueness in 4-dimensions is that a stationary black hole that is ``rotating''--i.e., is such that the stationary Killing field is not everywhere normal to the horizon--must be axisymmetric. The proof of this result in 4-dimensions relies on the fact that the orbits of the stationary Killing field on the horizon have the property that they must return to the same null geodesic generator of the horizon after a certain period, $P$. This latter property follows, in turn, from the fact that the cross-sections of the horizon are two-dimensional spheres. However, in spacetimes of dimension greater than 4, it is no longer true that the orbits of the stationary Killing field on the horizon must return to the same null geodesic generator. In this paper, we prove that, nevertheless, a higher dimensional stationary black hole that is rotating must be axisymmetric. No assumptions are made concerning the topology of the horizon cross-sections other than that they are compact. However, we assume that the horizon is non-degenerate and, as in the 4-dimensional proof, that the spacetime is analytic.Comment: 24 pages, no figures, v2: footnotes and references added, v3: numerous minor revision

Relaxation of Electron Spin during High-Field Transport in GaAs Bulk

A semiclassical Monte Carlo approach is adopted to study the multivalley spin depolarization of drifting electrons in a doped n-type GaAs bulk semiconductor, in a wide range of lattice temperature ($40<T_L<300$ K) and doping density ($10^{13}<n<10^{16}$cm$^{-3}$). The decay of the initial non-equilibrium spin polarization of the conduction electrons is investigated as a function of the amplitude of the driving static electric field, ranging between 0.1 and 6 kV/cm, by considering the spin dynamics of electrons in both the $\Gamma$ and the upper valleys of the semiconductor. Doping density considerably affects spin relaxation at low temperature and weak intensity of the driving electric field. At high values of the electric field, the strong spin-orbit coupling of electrons in the $L$-valleys significantly reduces the average spin polarization lifetime, but, unexpectedly, for field amplitudes greater than 2.5 kV/cm, the spin lifetime increases with the lattice temperature. Our numerical findings are validated by a good agreement with the available experimental results and with calculations recently obtained by a different theoretical approach.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure

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 clarifications, expanded discussion of physical parameters. v3: clarified statement of theorem 4 (results unchanged, update made after publication
