We construct and investigate a compactified version of the four-dimensional
Reissner-Nordstrom-NUT solution, generalizing the compactified Schwarzschild
black hole that has been previously studied by several workers. Our approach to
compactification is based on dimensional reduction with respect to the
stationary Killing vector, resulting in three-dimensional gravity coupled to a
nonlinear sigma model. Using that the original non-compactified solution
corresponds to a target space geodesic, the problem can be linearized much in
the same way as in the case of no electric nor NUT charge. An interesting
feature of the solution family is that for nonzero electric charge but
vanishing NUT charge, the solution has a curvature singularity on a torus that
surrounds the event horizon, but this singularity is removed when the NUT
charge is switched on. We also treat the Schwarzschild case in a more complete
way than has been done previously. In particular, the asymptotic solution (the
Levi-Civita solution with the height coordinate made periodic) has to our
knowledge only been calculated up to a determination of the mass parameter. The
periodic Levi-Civita solution contains three essential parameters, however, and
the remaining two are explicitly calculated here.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figures. v2: Typo corrected, reference adde
