چکیده
A global uniqueness theorem for stationary black holes is proved as a direct consequence of the Topological Censorship Theorem and the topological classification of compact, simply connected four-manifolds.

In recent years there has been some progress in the understanding of the global structure of stationary black hole space–times. In this paper we review some new results concerning the structure of stationary black hole space–times. In particular we prove a corrected version of the “black hole rigidity theorem”, and we prove a uniqueness theorem for static black holes with degenerate connected h...

It has recently been shown that the uniqueness theorem for stationary black holes cannot be extended to five dimensions. However, uniqueness is an important assumption of the string theory black hole entropy calculations. This paper justifies this assumption by proving a uniqueness theorem for supersymmetric black holes in five dimensions. Some remarks concerning general properties of non-super...

متن کاملRotating Black Holes in Higher Dimensions
The properties of higher-dimensional black holes can differ significantly from those of black holes in four dimensions, since neither the uniqueness theorem, nor the staticity theorem or the topological censorship theorem generalize to higher dimensions. We first discuss black holes of Einstein-Maxwell theory and Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with spherical horizon topology. Here new typ...
