Higher dimensional black holes and supersymmetry
read the original abstract
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 partially justifies this assumption by proving two uniqueness theorems for supersymmetric black holes in five dimensions. Some remarks concerning general properties of non-supersymmetric higher dimensional black holes are made. It is conjectured that there exist new families of stationary higher dimensional black hole solutions with fewer symmetries than any known solution.

Charged and rotating near-horizon geometries in five dimensions
New analytic charged rotating near-horizon geometries in 5D Einstein-Maxwell are constructed and shown to be the most general extremal rotating horizons with constant co-rotating electric field under Sasakian structure.

Monodromy-Matrix Description of Extremal Multi-centered Black Holes
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...
