PLACE: Kenkyu Honkan 1F Meeting Room 1
TITLE: New nonspherical black holes and charged black rings
CONTACT: ISHIBASHI Akihiro, akihiro.ishibashi-AT-kek.jp
SPEAKER: Dr. Maria J. Rodriguez   (Max-Planck-Institut (Albert-Einstein-Institut), Potsdam)
LANGUAGE: English
ABSTRACT: I will review the status of known and conjectured black hole solutions in higher dimensions, and discuss some solution generating techniques. I will present numerical evidence for several new kinds of nonspherical static black hole solutions (supported by conical singularities) and consider the issue of their rotating generalizations. By employing analytic approximations, I will argue that new types of charged black ring solutions in asymptotically flat and AdS spaces should also exist. กก
