We show that multi-critical points in which more than three phases coalesce are present in multiply rotating Kerr-AdS black holes in $d$-dimensions. We explicitly present a quadruple point for a triply rotating black hole in $d=8$ and a…

We construct an approximate solution for an asymptotically flat, neutral, thin rotating black ring in any dimension D>=5 by matching the near-horizon solution for a bent boosted black string, to a linearized gravity solution away from the…
Black hole uniqueness is known to fail in higher dimensions, and the multiplicity of black hole phases leads to phase transitions physics in General Relativity. The black-hole black-string transition is a prime realization of such a system…

We construct the metric of new multi-black hole configurations on a d-dimensional cylinder R^{d-1} x S^1, in the limit of small total mass (or equivalently in the limit of a large cylinder). These solutions are valid to first order in the…
We present the first examples in black hole thermodynamics of multicritical phase transitions, in which more than three distinct black hole phases merge at a critical point. Working in the context of non-linear electrodynamics, we…
Since black holes can be formed through widely varying processes, the horizon structure is highly complicated in the dynamical phase. Nonetheless, as numerical simulations show, the final state appears to be universal, well described by the…
We present new supersymmetric solutions of five-dimensional minimal supergravity that describe concentric black rings with an optional black hole at the common centre. Configurations of two black rings are found which have the same…
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 -…
We construct dynamical black ring solutions in the five dimensional Einstein-Maxwell system with a positive cosmological constant and investigate the geometrical structure. The solutions describe the physical process such that a thin black…
We argue that the configurations that approach maximal entropy in five-dimensional asymptotically flat vacuum gravity, for fixed mass and angular momentum, are `black Saturns' with a central, close to static, black hole and a very thin…
We study topology-changing transitions in the space of higher-dimensional black hole solutions. Kol has proposed that these are conifold-type transitions controlled by self-similar double-cone geometries. We present an exact example of this…
We show that the D-brane configurations for the five and four-dimensional black holes give the geometry of two and three-dimensional ones as well. The emergence of these lower dimensional black holes from the D-brane configurations for…
