Abstract

We use a recent implementation of the large DD expansion in order to construct the higher-dimensional Kerr-Newman black hole and also new charged rotating black bar solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell theory, all with rotation along a single plane. We describe the space of solutions, obtain their quasinormal modes, and study the appearance of instabilities as the horizons spread along the plane of rotation. Generically, the presence of charge makes the solutions less stable. Instabilities can appear even when the angular momentum of the black hole is small, as long as the charge is sufficiently large. We expect that, although our study is performed in the limit DD\to\infty, the results provide a good approximation for charged rotating black holes at finite D6D\geq 6.
