A Killing tensor for higher dimensional Kerr-AdS black holes with NUT charge
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we study the recently discovered family of higher dimensional KerrAdS black holes with an extra NUT-like parameter. We show that the inverse metric is additively separable after multiplication by a simple function. This allows us to separate the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, showing that geodesic motion is integrable on this background. The separation of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is intimately linked to the existence of an irreducible Killing tensor, which provides an extra constant of motion. We also demonstrate that the Klein-Gordon equation for this background is separable.

Hidden Symmetry of Higher Dimensional Kerr–NUT–AdS Spacetimes
It is well known that 4–dimensional Kerr–NUT–AdS spacetime possesses the hidden symmetry associated with the Killing–Yano tensor. This tensor is ‘universal’ in the sense that there exist coordinates where it does not depend on any of the free parameters of the metric. Recently the general higher dimensional Kerr–NUT–AdS solutions of the Einstein equations were obtained. We demonstrate that all ...
متن کاملKerr-de Sitter Black Holes with NUT Charges
The four-dimensional Kerr-de Sitter and Kerr-AdS black hole metrics have cohomogeneity 2, and they admit a generalisation in which an additional parameter characterising a NUT charge is included. In this paper, we study the higher-dimensional Kerr-AdS metrics, specialised to cohomogeneity 2 by appropriate restrictions on their rotation parameters, and we show how they too admit a generalisation...
متن کاملSeparability in Cohomogeneity - 2 Kerr - NUT - AdS Metrics
The remarkable and unexpected separability of the Hamilton-Jacobi and Klein-Gordon equations in the background of a rotating four-dimensional black hole played an important rôle in the construction of generalisations of the Kerr metric, and in the uncovering of hidden symmetries associated with the existence of Killing tensors. In this paper, we show that the Hamilton-Jacobi and Klein-Gordon eq...
متن کاملBlack holes, hidden symmetries, and complete integrability
The study of higher-dimensional black holes is a subject which has recently attracted vast interest. Perhaps one of the most surprising discoveries is a realization that the properties of higher-dimensional black holes with the spherical horizon topology and described by the Kerr-NUT-(A)dS metrics are very similar to the properties of the well known four-dimensional Kerr metric. This remarkable...
متن کاملSpecial symmetries of the charged Kerr - AdS black hole of D = 5 minimal gauged supergravity
In this note we prove that the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the background of the recently discovered charged Kerr-AdS black hole of D = 5 minimal gauged supergravity is separable, for arbitrary values of the two rotation parameters. This allows us to write down an irreducible Killing tensor for the spacetime. As a result we also show that the Klein-Gordon equation in this background is separabl...
