Generalisations of the Kerr - Taub - NUT - de Sitter Metrics in Higher Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The generalisation of the four-dimensional Kerr-de Sitter metrics to include a NUT charge is well known, and is included within a class of metrics obtained by Plebanski. In this paper, we show how this can be generalised to give new Kerr-Taub-NUT-de Sitter metrics in arbitrary dimensions D ≥ 6. The solutions contain three non-trivial continuous parameters, namely the mass, the NUT charge, and a (single) angular momentum. They therefore provide generalistions of the metrics of Hawking, Hunter and Taylor-Robinson, which have no NUT charge.

Conserved Charges in Even Dimensional Asymptotically locally Anti-de Sitter Space-times
Based on the recent paper hep-th/0503045, we derive a formula of calculating conserved charges in even dimensional asymptotically locally anti-de Sitter space-times by using the definition of Wald and Zoupas. This formula generalizes the one proposed by Ashtekar et al. Using the new formula we compute the masses of Taub-Bolt-AdS space-times by treating Taub-Nut-AdS space-times as the reference ...
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...

Different forms of the metric for the Kerr–NUT–(anti-)de Sitter space-time are being widely used in its extension to higher dimensions. The purpose of this note is to relate the parameters that are being used to the physical parameters (mass, rotation, NUT and cosmological constant) in the basic four dimensional situation. The important family of Kerr–NUT–(anti-)de Sitter space-times have recen...
متن کاملHigher Dimensional Taub-NUTs and Taub-Bolts in Einstein-Maxwell Gravity
We present a class of higher dimensional solutions to Einstein-Maxwell equations in d–dimensions. These solutions are asymptotically locally flat, de–Sitter, or anti–de Sitter space-times. The solutions we obtained depend on two extra parameters other than the mass and the nut charge. These two parameters are the electric charge q and the electric potential at infinity, V , which has a nontrivi...
