We study the family of Einstein-Maxwell instantons associated with the Kerr-Newman metrics with a positive cosmological constant. This leads to a quantisation condition on the masses and charges of the resulting Euclidean solutions.
We disprove the Euclidean Einstein--Maxwell Black Hole Uniqueness Conjecture, and thus demonstrate that the semi-classical properties of coupled gravitational and electromagnetic fields are more subtle than expected from Lorentzian general…
