Abstract
We present several new exact solutions in five and higher dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory by embedding the Nutku instanton. The metric functions for the five-dimensional solutions depend only on a radial coordinate and on two spatial coordinates for the six and higher dimensional solutions. The six and higher dimensional metric functions are convoluted-like integrals of two special functions. We find that the solutions are regular almost everywhere and some spatial sections of the solution describe wormhole handles. We also find a class of exact and nonstationary convoluted-like solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell theory with a cosmological constant.
