Rotating Einstein-Maxwell black holes in odd dimensions

Abstract To construct higher-dimensional counterparts of the Kerr-Newman black holes, we consider Einstein’s equations sourced by a vector field and a negative cosmological constant. In contrast to the four-dimensional case, the Maxwell’s equations are modified by sources generated by topological Ch...

Description
Summary:Abstract To construct higher-dimensional counterparts of the Kerr-Newman black holes, we consider Einstein’s equations sourced by a vector field and a negative cosmological constant. In contrast to the four-dimensional case, the Maxwell’s equations are modified by sources generated by topological Chern-Simons couplings, the situation already encountered in the minimal five dimensional supergravity. After constructing explicit geometries in all odd dimensions, we demonstrate that the Klein-Gordon equation on the new backgrounds is fully separable.
