Abstract

We show that the conformal structure for the Riemannian analogues of Kerr black-hole metrics can be given an ambitoric structure. We then discuss the properties of the moment maps. In particular, we observe that the moment map image is not locally convex near the singularity corresponding to the ring singularity in the interior of the black hole. We then proceed to classify regular ambitoric 44-orbifolds with some completeness assumptions. The tools developed also allow us to prove a partial classification of compact Riemannian 44-manifolds which admit a Killing 22-form.
