Black Holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Theory — Yves Brihaye1, Burkhard Kleihaus2, •Jutta Kunz2, and Eugen Radu2 — 1University of Mons, Belgium — 2University of Oldenburg
We construct rotating black hole and black ring solutions in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in five spacetime dimensions, corresponding to the generalization of the Myers-Perry black holes and the Emparan-Reall black rings. These black holes are asymptotically flat and possess a regular horizon. We discuss the physical properties of these black holes and study their dependence on the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant α.
