Black Holes in Higher Dimensions

Living Rev Relativ. 2008;11(1):6. doi: 10.12942/lrr-2008-6. Epub 2008 Sep 8.

Abstract

We review black-hole solutions of higher-dimensional vacuum gravity and higher-dimensional supergravity theories. The discussion of vacuum gravity is pedagogical, with detailed reviews of Myers-Perry solutions, black rings, and solution-generating techniques. We discuss black-hole solutions of maximal supergravity theories, including black holes in anti-de Sitter space. General results and open problems are discussed throughout.
