Towards higher dimensional black rings

Abstract

Despite all attempts, exact solutions for black rings in more than five dimensions remain elusive. In this paper we clarify some of the reasons for that, in particular we show that a peculiar symmetry of the five--dimensional black ring - separability of the base - cannot occur in dimensions higher than five. We also construct supersymmetric solutions that have symmetries of 5D supersymmetric black ring and show that they do not have regular horizons.
