Abstract

We review the vacuum solutions of Einstein's equations in higher dimensions known as Myers-Perry metrics. In many respects, these solutions describing spinning black holes admit the same remarkable properties as the standard Kerr black hole in four dimensions. However, studying these solutions also begins to provide some insight into the new and unusual features of event horizons in higher dimensions.
