Infinite classes of near-horizon geometries in higher dimensions | |||||

Abstract |
I will discuss recent work on higher dimensional Einstein spacetimes which contain a degenerate Killing horizon, with an emphasis on extremal black holes. In particular, I will describe new examples of the associated near-horizon geometries in dimensions greater than five. Cross-sections of the horizon are inhomogeneous metrics on two-sphere and three-sphere bundles over any positive Kaehler-Einstein manifold. The simplest examples give horizon sections of S^2xS^2 and S^3xS^2 topology. All the examples presented are consistent with the known restrictions on the topology and symmetry of black hole horizons. |
