Abstract
We compute the tidal Love numbers and static response coefficients associated to several rotating black holes in higher dimensions, including Myers-Perry black holes, black rings, and black strings. These coefficients exhibit a rich and complex structure as a function of the black hole parameters and multipoles. Our results agree in limiting cases with known and new expressions for various lower-dimensional black holes. In particular, we provide an alternative approach to the computation of the static response of Kerr black holes as a limiting case of the boosted black string.
