Uniqueness and non-uniqueness of static black holes in higher dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-04-06 v2

Abstract

We prove a uniqueness theorem for asymptotically flat static charged dilaton black hole solutions in higher dimensional space-times. We also construct infinitely many non-asymptotically flat regular static black holes on the same space-time manifold with the same spherical topology. An application to the uniqueness of a certain class of flat pp-branes is also given.
