We explore the physical consequences of a recently discovered class of exact solutions to five dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory. We find a number of surprising features including: (1) In the presence of a Kaluza-Klein bubble, there are arbitrarily large black holes with topology S^3. (2) In the presence of a black hole or a black string, there are expanding bubbles (with de Sitter geometry) which never reach null infinity. (3) A bubble can hold two black holes of arbitrary size in static equilibrium. In particular, two large black holes can be close together without merging to form a single black hole.

  1. Generating Rotation in a Snap

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    An algebraic technique generates rotating black holes and multi-source solutions from static ones by transforming to AdS×S asymptotics, applying a rotating frame shift, and returning to flat asymptotics.

  2. Initial data for a black string and a Kaluza-Klein bubble: Space-dependent compactification radius

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New analytic and numerical initial data are constructed for Kaluza-Klein spacetimes with a space-dependent compactification radius, covering black strings, naked or hidden KK bubbles, and multiple black strings.
