Supersymmetric Black Rings

Regular Seminar Jan Gutowski (Oxford University)

abstract:

The recent discovery of supersymmetric black ring solutions has important implications for black hole uniqueness and other aspects of black hole physics in higher dimensions. The construction of these solutions is investigated, and a generalization of the single ring solution to a system of concentric (multi-charge) rings is presented. The entropy of some of these solutions is particularly interesting.
