A black ring is a five-dimensional black hole with an event horizon of topology S1 x S2. We provide an introduction to the description of black rings in general relativity and string theory. Novel aspects of the presentation include a new approach to constructing black ring coordinates and a critical review of black ring microscopics.

  1. Generating Rotation in a Snap

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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. Non-supersymmetric F1-P black rings

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Singly and doubly spinning non-supersymmetric F1-P black ring solutions are constructed in 5D supergravity, with the doubly spinning case admitting an extremal limit where entropy S equals 2 pi times the S^2 angular m...

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Near-EVH limits of AdS6 and AdS7 black holes produce conformally related lower-dimensional black hole solutions in EMMD gravity, opening a potential path to microscopic entropy counting for non-AdS black holes via hig...
