چکیده
We algebraically classify some higher dimensional spacetimes, including a number of vacuum solutions of the Einstein field equations which can represent higher dimensional black holes. We discuss some consequences of this work. E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected]

Higher Dimensional V Si Spacetimes
We present the explicit metric forms for higher dimensional vanishing scalar invariant (V SI) Lorentzian spacetimes. We note that all of the V SI spacetimes belong to the higher dimensional Kundt class. We determine all of the V SI spacetimes which admit a covariantly constant null vector, and we note that in general in higher dimensions these spacetimes are of Ricci type III and Weyl type III....

We show that the higher-dimensional vanishing scalar invariant (VSI) spacetimes with fluxes and dilaton are solutions of type IIB supergravity, and we argue that they are exact solutions in string theory. We also discuss the supersymmetry properties of VSI spacetimes. [PACS: 04.20.Jb, 04.65.+e]
متن کاملOn Spacetimes with Constant Scalar Invariants
We study Lorentzian spacetimes for which all scalar invariants constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives are constant (CSI spacetimes). We obtain a number of general results in arbitrary dimensions. We study and construct warped product CSI spacetimes and higher-dimensional Kundt CSI spacetimes. We show how these spacetimes can be constructed from locally homogeneous spa...
متن کاملIntegrability of spinning particle motion in higher-dimensional rotating black hole spacetimes.
We study the motion of a classical spinning particle (with spin degrees of freedom described by a vector of Grassmann variables) in higher-dimensional general rotating black hole spacetimes with a cosmological constant. In all dimensions n we exhibit n bosonic functionally independent integrals of spinning particle motion, corresponding to explicit and hidden symmetries generated from the princ...
