Abstract

We construct rotating black holes in N=2N=2, D=5D=5 minimal and matter-coupled gauged supergravity, with horizons that are homogeneous but not isotropic. Such spaces belong to the eight Thurston model geometries, out of which we consider the cases Nil and SL(2,R)(2,\mathbb{R}). In the former, we use the recipe of arXiv:hep-th/0304064 to directly rederive the solution that was obtained by Gutowski and Reall in arXiv:hep-th/0401042 as a scaling limit from a spherical black hole. With the same techniques, the first example of a black hole with SL(2,R)(2,\mathbb{R}) horizon is constructed, which is rotating and one quarter BPS. The physical properties of this solution are discussed, and it is shown that in the near-horizon limit it boils down to the geometry of arXiv:hep-th/0401042, with a supersymmetry enhancement to one half. Dimensional reduction to D=4D=4 gives a new solution with hyperbolic horizon to the t3^3 model that carries both electric and magnetic charges. Moreover, we show how to get a nonextremal rotating Nil black hole by applying a certain scaling limit to Kerr-AdS5_5 with two equal rotation parameters, which consists in zooming onto the north pole of the S2^2 over which the S3^3 is fibered, while boosting the horizon velocity effectively to the speed of light.
