Topological charged black holes coupled with a cosmological constant in $R^{2}\times X^{D-2}$ spacetimes are studied, where $X^{D-2}$ is an Einstein space of the form ${}^{(D-2)}R_{AB} = k(D-3) h_{AB}$. The global structure for the…

In this paper we derive homogeneous vacuum plane-wave solutions to Einstein's field equations in 4+1 dimensions. The solutions come in five different types of which three generalise the vacuum plane-wave solutions in 3+1 dimensions to the…

It has recently been shown that the uniqueness theorem for stationary black holes cannot be extended to five dimensions. However, uniqueness is an important assumption of the string theory black hole entropy calculations. This paper…
Motivated by recent studies on the uniqueness or non-uniqueness of higher dimensional black hole spacetime, we investigate the asymptotic structure of spatial infinity in n-dimensional spacetimes($n \geq 4$). It turns out that the geometry…

The Einstein vacuum equations in the formulation developed by Newman, Penrose [NP] and Friedrich [Fr] are expressed in terms of a Lie superbracket. Differential identities are derived from the super Jacobi identity. This perspective…
We investigate a general metric of the Kundt class of spacetimes in higher dimensions. Geometrically, it admits a non-twisting, non-shearing and non-expanding geodesic null congruence. We calculate all components of the curvature and Ricci…
Ten-dimensional models, arising from a gravitational action which includes terms up to the fourth order in curvature tensor, are discussed. The spacetime consists of one timelike dimension and two maximally symmetric subspaces, filled with…
A framework is introduced which explains the existence and similarities of most exact solutions of the Einstein equations with a wide range of sources for the class of hypersurface-homogeneous spacetimes which admit a Hamiltonian…
This short note shows that many of the results derived by Pravda et al (Class. Quant. Grav. 24 4407-4428) for higher-dimensional Type D Einstein spacetimes can be generalized to all Einstein spacetimes admitting a multiple WAND; the main…
In this paper we propose a class of exact solutions (stationary and non-stationary) of Einstein's field equations. The energy-momentum tensors of the solutions describe dark energy.
We obtain electrically charged black hole solutions of the Einstein equations in arbitrary dimensions with a nonlinear electrodynamics source. The matter source is deriving from a Lagrangian given by an arbitrary power of the Maxwell…
There are theoretical reasons to think that space-time is lower dimensional at very short distances. If this is the case, quantum black holes produced at the LHC or in cosmic rays scattering live in lower dimensions. We discuss production…
A method of solving the Einstein equations with a scalar field is presented. It is applied to find higher dimensional vacuum metrics invariant under the group SO(n + 1) acting on n-dimensional spheres.
The properties of higher-dimensional black holes can differ significantly from those of black holes in four dimensions, since neither the uniqueness theorem, nor the staticity theorem or the topological censorship theorem generalize to…
