New five-dimensional black holes classified by horizon geometry, and a Bianchi VI braneworld

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce two new families of solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations with negative cosmological constant in 5 dimensions. These solutions are static black holes whose horizons are modelled on the 3-geometries nilgeometry and solvegeometry. Thus the horizons (and the exterior spacetimes) can be foliated by compact 3-manifolds that are neither spherical, toroidal, hyperbolic, nor product manifolds, and therefore are of a topological type not previously encountered in black hole solutions. As an application, we use the solvegeometry solutions to construct Bianchi VI−1 braneworld cosmologies.


Two families of solutions to vacuum Einstein equations in 5 dimensions, with negative cosmological constant, are introduced. A very useful appendix is provided describing braneworld formalism where the cosmos is a singular hypersurface embedded in 5 dimensional spacetime. There are many new questions to be asked about these solutions and these are highlighted in the discussion in the paper.
