We study stationary and axisymmetric solutions of General Relativity, i.e. pure gravity, in four or higher dimensions. D-dimensional stationary and axisymmetric solutions are defined as having D-2 commuting Killing vector fields. We derive a canonical form of the metric for such solutions that effectively reduces the Einstein equations to a differential equation on an axisymmetric D-2 by D-2 matrix field living in three-dimensional flat space (apart from a subclass of solutions that instead reduce to a set of equations on a D-2 by D-2 matrix field living in two-dimensional flat space). This generalizes the Papapetrou form of the metric for stationary and axisymmetric solutions in four dimensions, and furthermore generalizes the work on Weyl solutions in four and higher dimensions. We analyze then the sources for the solutions, which are in the form of thin rods along a line in the three-dimensional flat space that the matrix field can be seen to live in. As examples of stationary and axisymmetric solutions, we study the five-dimensional rotating black hole and the rotating black ring, write the metrics in the canonical form and analyze the structure of the rods for each solution.

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A pseudo-Hamiltonian reformulation of 1PA self-force dynamics yields local, invariant action-angle evolution equations and an embedded conservative Hamiltonian whose on-shell energy equals the first-law binding energy.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Exact multi-centered rotating dyonic black holes with non-aligned angular momenta exist in 5D KK theory and remain regular (no curvature singularities or CTCs) when |J_i| < |P_i Q_i|.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Constructs multi-center extremal black hole solutions in Bertotti-Robinson spacetime via monodromy-matrix factorization, producing Majumdar-Papapetrou-type metrics with AdS2 × S2 near-horizons and BR asymptotics.

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper systematically constructs known multi-BTZ black hole solutions from a flat-space seed via Riemann-Hilbert factorization and SO(4,4) transformations.

  5. Taub-NUT as gravitational dyon with torsion

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Taub-NUT's Misner strings are torsion defects; with this torsion, the spacetime is a soliton sourced by two spin-fluid beams with a cosmic-string-like equation of state.
