Rotating Einstein–Maxwell–dilaton black holes in D dimensions

Abstract We construct exact charged rotating black holes in Einstein–Maxwell–dilaton theory in D spacetime dimensions, D ⩾ 5 , by embedding the D-dimensional Myers–Perry solutions in D + 1 dimensions, and performing a boost with a subsequent Kaluza–Klein reduction. Like the Myers–Perry solutions, these black holes generically possess N = [ ( D − 1 ) / 2 ] independent angular momenta. We present the global and horizon properties of these black holes, and discuss their domains of existence.
