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…

We consider arbitrary stationary and axisymmetric black holes in general relativity in $(d +1)$ dimensions (with $d \geq 3$) that satisfy the vacuum Einstein equation and have a non-degenerate horizon. We prove that the canonical energy of…

A Kerr-de Sitter black hole is a solution $(M,g_{\Lambda,\mathfrak{m},\mathfrak{a}})$ of the Einstein vacuum equations with cosmological constant $\Lambda>0$. It describes a black hole with mass $\mathfrak{m}>0$ and specific angular…
