d ≥ 5 static black holes with nonspherical horizon topology — Burkhard Kleihaus, Jutta Kunz, and •Eugen Radu — Institut für Physik, Universität Oldenburg, Postfach 2503 D-26111 Oldenburg, Germany

We discuss the properties of a class of d≥ 5 black holes with an event horizon topology S²× S^d−4. These asymptotically flat solutions are static and present a conical singularity in the bulk. For d=5 they reduce to the Emparan-Reall static black ring. Asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes with an S²× S¹ topology of the horizon are also discussed.
