Analytical solution of the geodesic equations in Myers-Perry spacetimes — •Stephan Reimers und Valeria Kagramanova — Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg 26111 Oldenburg

Myers-Perry space-times represent the higher dimensional generalizations of the Kerr space-time. We analytically solve the geodesic equations in Myers-Perry space-times with equal angular momenta. The analytical solutions of the geodesic equations are given in terms of elliptic Weierstraß functions. With the complete set of analytical solutions we study the motion of test particles and light and derive analytical expressions for the observables.
