Five-Dimensional Charged Rotating Black Holes

Abstract

We consider charged rotating black holes in 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory. These black holes are asymptotically flat, they possess a regular horizon of spherical topology and two independent angular momenta associated with two distinct planes of rotation. We discuss their global and horizon properties, and derive a generalized Smarr formula. We construct these black holes numerically, focussing on black holes with a single angular momentum, and with two equal-magnitude angular momenta.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figure
