Surprises with angular momentum

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v3

Abstract

The physics of angular momentum in even space dimensions can be surprisingly counter-intuitive. Three such suprises, all associated with the properties of supersymmetric rotating objects, are examined: (i) 5D black holes, (ii) Dyonic instantons and (iii) Supertubes.
