We show that two stationary, asymptotically flat vacuum black holes in 5 dimensions with two commuting axial symmetries are identical if and only if their masses, angular momenta, and their ``rod structures'' coincide. We also show that the horizon must be topologically either a 3-sphere, a ring, or a Lens-space. Our argument is a generalization of constructions of Morisawa and Ida (based in turn on key work of Maison) who considered the spherical case, combined with basic arguments concerning the nature of the factor manifold of symmetry orbits.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The authors derive explicit monodromy matrices for Bena-Warner BPS solutions and almost-BPS configurations including two-center black rings, factorize them via nilpotent elements of so(4,4), and construct an SO(4,4) d...
