New generalized nonspherical black hole solutions

Abstract

We present numerical evidence for the existence of several types of static black hole solutions with a nonspherical event horizon topology in d6d\geq 6 spacetime dimensions. These asymptotically flat configurations are found for a specific metric ansatz and can be viewed as higher dimensional counterparts of the d=5d=5 static black rings, dirings and black Saturn. Similar to that case, they are supported against collapse by conical singularities. The issue of rotating generalizations of these solutions is also considered.
