Abstract

We present new rotating black brane solutions which solve Einstein's equations with cosmological constant Λ\Lambda in arbitrary dimension dd. For negative Λ\Lambda, the branes naturally appear in AdS supergravity compactifications, and should therefore play some role in the AdS/CFT correspondence. The spacetimes are warped products of a four-dimensional part and an Einstein space of dimension d4d-4, which is not necessarily of constant curvature. As a special subcase, the solutions contain the higher dimensional generalization of the Kerr-AdS metric recently found by Hawking et al.
