Generalized Black holes with Fully Non-aligned Electromagnetic Fields

We develop a Plebański--Demiański-adapted parametrization of the general Ovcharenko--Podolský solution and construct new families of generalized black holes in four-dimensional Einstein--Maxwell theory. These Petrov type~D spacetimes possess non-null, fully non-aligned electromagnetic fields. A restriction imposed in the previous parametrization is not required by the field equations in shifted coordinates. Removing it retains an independent charge parameter $q$, which may be real or purely imaginary. For $q^2\geq0$, both the metric and electromagnetic field admit a smooth aligned limit to the charged Plebański--Demiański solution with $Λ=0$ and $e^2+g^2=q^2$. We impose angular conditions in the Griffiths--Podolský form allowing Killing horizon cross sections with spherical topology. The resulting eight-parameter class extends the seven-parameter class of Ovcharenko and Podolský [arXiv:2508.04850]. The remaining normalization condition is generically quartic, defining four algebraic branches. We give explicit metrics and electromagnetic fields for the non-twisting and $l=0$ twisting families and analyze their black hole and acceleration horizons, extremality, conicity, and further limits. We determine the effective-NUT-free branches of the latter family and their degenerate cases. Using the genuine Griffiths--Podolský form, we establish an explicit correspondence between the non-accelerating effective-NUT-free subclass and the Kerr--Newman--Bertotti--Robinson family and express its electromagnetic flux charges in our parameters. The $q^2<0$ sector includes the genuine uncharged Kerr--Bertotti--Robinson solution recently identified by Ovcharenko and Podolský [arXiv:2608.21672].

Multi-rotating black holes with non-aligned angular momenta in 5D Kaluza-Klein theory

We present an exact solution describing multi-rotating black holes in 4D Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory, which can be obtained from 5D Kaluza--Klein theory via dimensional reduction. The solution represents a multi-centered configuration of rotating black holes carrying both electric and magnetic charges, with each black hole possessing a non-aligned angular momentum. This work generalizes our previous solution for black holes with aligned angular momenta to the more general case of non-aligned angular momenta. It includes, as special cases, the Majumdar--Papapetrou solution, the recent multi-centered rotating black hole solutions of Teo and Wan, and our previous solution with unequal electric and magnetic charges. The resulting spacetimes are free of curvature singularities and closed timelike curves, both on and outside the horizons, provided that the magnitude of the spin angular momentum of each black hole remains below a certain upper bound.

Multi--black holes in Bertotti--Robinson spacetime

We construct a new class of exact solutions describing multi-black holes in the Bertotti--Robinson spacetime, using the monodromy-matrix formalism associated with integrable sigma models. Starting from the extremal Reissner--Nordström black hole in the Bertotti--Robinson background, we derive the corresponding coset and monodromy matrices and show that they are governed by nilpotent algebraic structures. This property enables an explicit factorization of the monodromy matrix, allowing for a systematic reconstruction of the underlying gravitational solutions. We extend this construction to multi-center configurations by introducing multiple poles in the monodromy matrix, leading to Majumdar--Papapetrou--type solutions with Bertotti--Robinson asymptotics. Each center is shown to correspond to a regular extremal black hole with an $\mathrm{AdS}_2 \times S^2$ near-horizon geometry, and the asymptotic end likewise approaches a Bertotti--Robinson geometry. We further generalize the framework to stationary configurations in the Bertotti--Robinson spacetime, as well as to a broader class of Israel--Wilson--Perjés-type solutions, by considering more general nilpotent elements. Our results demonstrate that the monodromy-matrix approach provides a powerful and systematic framework for constructing multi-black hole solutions in nontrivial backgrounds, and suggest a promising route toward more general configurations.

Monodromy-Matrix Description of Extremal Multi-centered Black Holes

We study solution-generating techniques based on the Breitenlohner--Maison linear system for extremal, stationary biaxisymmetric black hole solutions in five-dimensional $U(1)^3$ supergravity. Focusing on multi-center configurations over a Gibbons--Hawking base, we analyze both BPS and almost-BPS solutions, including rotating single-center black holes and two-center black rings. After dimensional reduction to three dimensions, the system is described by a coset sigma model with target space $SO(4,4)/[SO(2,2)\times SO(2,2)]$, where solutions are encoded in coset and monodromy matrices. For Bena--Warner BPS solutions, we construct the coset and monodromy matrices and show that they admit an exponential representation governed by nilpotent elements. Although the monodromy matrices generically exhibit double poles, they can be factorized explicitly using the nilpotent algebra of $\mathfrak{so}(4,4)$, reconstructing the solutions. We extend this to almost-BPS solutions and derive the corresponding matrices. While the single-center case exhibits commuting residues, the two-center black ring leads to a more intricate structure with a third-order pole, which disappears when regularity is imposed. Finally, we analyze the extremal limits of the Rasheed--Larsen solution, where the fast-rotating branch is governed by idempotent elements. We also construct an explicit $SO(4,4)$ duality transformation relating the slowly-rotating branch to a single-center almost-BPS solution. These results will provide the BM formalism as a unified framework for extremal multi-center black holes.

Existence conditions of nonsingular dyonic black holes in nonlinear electrodynamics

General relativity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics is known to have nonsingular black hole solutions. We investigate the existence conditions for such solutions in two-parameter Lagrangian ${\cal L} \left( {\cal F} , {\cal G} \right)$. In particular, we obtain a criterion on the Lagrangian for the existence of nonsingular black hole with a dyonic charge. In addition, we present a simple example of two-parameter Lagrangian satisfying the criterion, in which the existence of the dyonic solution is actually confirmed. Moreover, apart from the actual existence of dyonic solutions, we consider some examples for the Lagrangian satisfying such a criterion.

Multi-centered Myers-Perry Black Holes in Five Dimensions

We present a new family of multi-centered rotating black hole solutions in 5D vacuum Einstein gravity, providing explicit examples of cohomogeneity-three spacetimes. It is well known that, in the presence of two commuting Killing vector fields, the theory reduces to 3D gravity coupled to an $SL(3,\mathbb{R})$ nonlinear sigma model with five scalar fields. We show that the scalar fields of the extremal Myers-Perry solution can be expressed in terms of two harmonic functions on 3D flat space, and that promoting these functions to include multiple sources yields explicit multi-centered extremal Myers-Perry black holes located at arbitrary positions. Each center forms a smooth $S^3$ Killing horizon, provided that the rotation parameters satisfy $|j_i|<1/2$. We further demonstrate that all curvature singularities are hidden behind the horizons and that no closed timelike curves arise on or outside the horizons. The solutions are asymptotically locally Minkowski in the sense that constant-time hypersurfaces are asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE). As a concrete example, we consider a binary configuration, examine its rod structure, and demonstrate the absence of conical singularities between the two black holes, indicating that they are supported by an intermediate bubble region separating them.

Fan-Wang type regular black holes in Quasi-Topological Gravity

We construct a class of regular black hole solutions of the Fan-Wang type within quasi-topological gravity (QTG) in arbitrary spacetime dimensions greater than four. In contrast to the original Fan-Wang solution, which was obtained in four-dimensional general relativity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics, our higher-dimensional generalization does not require any matter fields. Instead, regularity is achieved purely through an infinite tower of higher-curvature corrections. We demonstrate that the Fan-Wang-type metric is a solution to the QTG field equations by explicitly determining the corresponding coupling constants for each curvature order. Within an appropriate parameter regime, the solution describes an asymptotically flat black hole spacetime with a regular center. Remarkably, even in the case of negative mass, the geometry can remain completely regular, in sharp contrast to Einstein gravity.

Monodromy-Matrix Description of Doubly Rotating Black Rings

Extending the single-angular-momentum case analyzed in our previous work, we investigate the solution-generating technique based on the Breitenlohner-Maison (BM) linear system for asymptotically flat, stationary, bi-axisymmetric black hole solutions with two angular momenta in five-dimensional vacuum Einstein theory. In particular, we construct the monodromy matrix associated with the BM linear system for the doubly rotating Myers-Perry black holes and the Pomeransky-Sen'kov black rings. Conversely, by solving the corresponding Riemann-Hilbert problem using the procedure developed by Katsimpouri et al., we demonstrate that the factorization of the monodromy matrix precisely reproduces these vacuum solutions, thereby reconstructing both geometries.

Description of Non-Spherical Black Holes in 5D Einstein Gravity via the Riemann-Hilbert Problem

We investigate the solution-generating technique based on the Breitenlohner-Maison (BM) linear system, for asymptotically flat, stationary, bi-axisymmetric black hole solutions with various horizon topologies in five-dimensional vacuum Einstein theory. We construct the monodromy matrix associated with the BM linear system, which provides a unified framework for describing three distinct asymptotically flat, vacuum black hole solutions with a single angular momentum in five dimensions, each with a different horizon topology: (i) the singly rotating Myers-Perry black hole, (ii) the Emparan-Reall black ring, and (iii) the Chen-Teo rotating black lens. Conversely, by solving the corresponding Riemann-Hilbert problem using the procedure developed by Katsimpouri et al., we demonstrate that factorization of the monodromy matrix exactly reproduces these vacuum solutions, thereby reconstructing the three geometries. These constitute the first explicit examples in which the factorization procedure has been carried out for black holes with non-spherical horizon topologies. In addition, we discuss how the asymptotic behavior of five-dimensional vacuum solutions at spatial infinity is reflected in the asymptotic structure of the monodromy matrix in the spectral parameter space.

Asymmetric dyonic multi-centered rotating black holes

We construct an exact solution in four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory, describing multi-centered rotating black holes carrying both electric and magnetic charges, obtained via dimensional reduction from five-dimensional Einstein gravity. This generalizes the Majumdar-Papapetrou solution to the rotating case, and extends the recent multi-centered rotating black hole solutions of Teo and Wan to configurations with unequal electric and magnetic charges. The resulting spacetimes are free of curvature singularities, conical defects, Dirac-Misner strings, and closed timelike curves, both on and outside the horizons, provided that the black holes have either aligned or anti-aligned spin orientations.

Building multi-BTZ black holes through Riemann-Hilbert problem

We construct a recently found class of non-BPS black hole solutions with asymptotically $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ in type IIB supergravity, consisting of multiple BTZ black holes localized on an $S^3$, within the group theoretical framework of Breitenlohner and Maison (BM). Starting with the multi-neutral black string solution as a seed, we solve the associated Riemann-Hilbert problem for the BM linear system. First, we determine the monodromy matrix corresponding to this seed solution by generalizing the early work of Katsimpouri et al. on the four-charged black hole of STU supergravity, where some assumptions must be relaxed for the solutions with multiple horizons. By applying the Harrison transformation, a charge-generating transformation in the $SO(4,4)$ group, to the monodromy matrix, we obtain the multi-charged black string solution. Furthermore, through a ``subtraction'' procedure -- an $SO(4,4)$ transformation that changes the asymptotic structure from $R^{1,4}\times S^1\times T^4$ to $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ spacetime -- we derive the multi-BTZ black hole solution. This is the first example in which the subtraction procedure is applied to multiple black holes, and it may also have potential applications to other cases.

Exploring non-supersymmetric black holes with multiple bubbles in five-dimensional minimal supergravity

The topological censorship theorem suggests that higher dimensional black holes can possess the domain of outer communication (DOC) of nontrivial topology. In this paper, we seek for a black hole coexisting with two bubbles adjacent to the horizon in five-dimensional minimal supergravity, under the assumptions of stationarity and bi-axisymmetry. For simplicity, we also assume that the spacetime is symmetric under the exchange of the two axisymmetric Killing vectors. To find the solution, we combine the inverse scattering method and the Harrison transformation, and we present the conditions for the absence of conical, orbifold and Dirac-Misner string singularities, respectively. As the result, we find that the black hole with topology of $S^3$ or $S^2\times S^1$ can be supported by two bubbles if we admit the conical singularities (deficits).

Nonuniqueness of capped black holes: large and small bubbles

We present a new non-BPS solution describing an asymptotically flat, stationary, bi-axisymmetric capped black hole in the bosonic sector of five-dimensional minimal supergravity. This solution describes a spherical black hole, while the exterior region of the horizon exhibits a non-trivial topology of $[{\mathbb R}^4 \# {\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^2] \setminus {\mathbb B}^4$ on a timeslice. This solution extends our previously constructed three-parameter solution to a more general four-parameter solution. To derive this solution, we utilize a combination of the Ehlers and Harrison transformations and then impose appropriate boundary conditions on the solution's parameters. It can be shown that the resultant solution is free from curvature, conical, Dirac-Misner string and orbifold singularities, as well as closed timelike curves on and outside the horizon. Characterized by four independent conserved charges -- mass, two angular momenta, and electric charge -- this solution reveals two distinct branches: a small bubble branch and a large bubble branch, distinguished by non-conserved local quantities such as magnetic flux or magnetic potential. This shows the non-uniqueness for spherical black holes, even among capped black holes. For equivalent sets of conserved charges, we find that the large/small bubble branch can have larger/smaller entropy than the Cvetič-Youm black hole.

New black ring with all independent conserved charges in five-dimensional minimal supergravity

We present a new exact solution for a general non-BPS black ring in the bosonic sector of five-dimensional minimal supergravity. This obtained solution carries four independent conserved charges: the mass, two angular momenta, an electric charge, and an additional dipole charge related to other charges. By employing the Ehlers-Harrison transformation, we derive this solution by transforming a five-dimensional vacuum solution into a charged solution in the theory. Previously, our work produced a vacuum doubly rotating black ring solution possessing a Dirac-Misner string singularity by using the Ehlers transformation. In this study, we use the singular black ring as the seed for the Harrison transformation. The resultant solution is regular, free from curvature singularities, conical singularities, orbifold singularities, Dirac-Misner string singularities, and closed timelike curves both on and outside the horizon. We show that within a specific parameter range, the black ring presents two branches for the same mass, two angular momenta and electric charge but these are distinguished by a dipole charge, which exhibits discontinuous non-uniqueness. Furthermore, this newly obtained black ring seamlessly connects to various physically significant solutions, such as the Pomeransky-Sen'kov black ring, the extremal black ring, the supersymmetric black ring, and the charged singly-spinning black ring.

New construction of a vacuum doubly rotating black ring by the Ehlers transformation

Using the Ehlers transformation, we derive an exact solution for a doubly rotating black ring in five-dimensional vacuum Einstein theory. It is well-known that the vacuum Einstein theory with three commuting Killing vector fields can be reduced to a non-linear sigma model with $SL(3,{\mathbb R})$ target space symmetry. As shown previously by Giusto and Saxena, the $SO(2,1)$ subgroup in the $SL(3,{\mathbb R})$ can generate a rotating solution from a static solution while preserving asymptotic flatness. This so-called Ehlers transformation actually transforms the five-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole into the five-dimensional Myers-Perry black hole. However, unlike the case with the black hole, applying this method directly to the static black ring or the Emparan-Reall black ring, does not yield a regular rotating black ring due to the emergence of a Dirac-Misner string singularity. To solve this undesirable issue, we use a singular vacuum solution of a rotating black ring/lens that already possesses a Dirac-Misner string singularity as the seed solution for the Ehlers transformation. The resulting solution is regular, indicating the absence of curvature singularities, conical singularities, orbifold singularities, Dirac-Misner string singularities, and closed timelike curves both on and outside the horizon. We show that this solution obtained by the Ehlers transformation coincides precisely with the Pomeransky-Sen'kov solution. We expect that applying this method to other theories may lead to the finding of new exact solutions, such as solutions for black lenses and capped black holes, as well as black ring configurations.

Nonlinear dynamics driving the conversion of gravitational and electromagnetic waves in cylindrically symmetric spacetime

Using the ``composite harmonic mapping method," we construct exact solutions for cylindrically symmetric gravitational and electromagnetic waves within the Einstein-Maxwell system, focusing on the conversion dynamics between these types of waves. In this approach, we employs two types of geodesic surfaces in ${\mathbb H}^{2}_{C}$: (a) the complex line and (b) the totally real Lagrangian plane, applied to two different vacuum seed solutions: (i) a vacuum solution previously utilized in our studies and (ii) the solitonic vacuum solution constructed previously by Economou and Tsoubelis. We study three scenarios: case (a) with seeds (i) and (ii), and case (b) with seed (ii). In all cases (a) and (b), solutions demonstrate notable mode conversions near the symmetric axis. In case (a) with seed (i) or seed (ii), we show that any change in the occupancy of the gravitational or electromagnetic mode relative to the C-energy near the axis always reverts to its initial state once the wave moves away from the axis. Particularly in case (b) with seed (ii), nontrivial conversions occur even when the wave moves away from the axis. In this case, the amplification factors of electromagnetic modes range from an upper limit of approximately $2.4$ to a lower limit of about $0.4$, when comparing the contributions of electromagnetic mode to C-energy at past and future null infinities.

Solution Generation of a Capped Black Hole

Utilizing the electric Harrison transformation developed in five-dimensional minimal supergravity, we construct an exact solution characterizing non-BPS charged rotating black holes with a horizon cross-section of a lens space L(n;1). Among these solutions, only the ones corresponding to n=0 and n=1 do not have any curvature singularities, conical singularities, Dirac-Misner string singularities, and orbifold singularities both on and outside the horizon; additionally, it is free from closed timelike curves. The solution for n=0 corresponds to the charged dipole black ring that we constructed in the previous paper. The specific solution for n=1, referred to as the ``capped black hole," was introduced in our previous letter. This provides the first example of a non-BPS exact solution, representing an asymptotically flat, stationary spherical black hole with a domain of outer communication (DOC) having a nontrivial topology in five-dimensional minimal supergravity. We demonstrate that the DOC on a timeslice has the topology of $[R^4\# CP^2 ]\setminus B^4$. Differing from the well-known Myers-Perry and Cvetič-Youm black holes describing a spherical horizon topology and a DOC with a trivial topology of $R^4 \setminus B^4$ on a timeslice, the capped black hole's horizon is capped by a disc-shaped bubble. We explicitly demonstrate that the capped black hole carries mass, two angular momenta, an electric charge, and a magnetic flux, with only three of these quantities being independent. Furthermore, we reveal that this black hole can possess identical conserved charges as the Cvetič-Youm black hole. The existence of this solution challenges black hole uniqueness beyond both the black ring and the BPS spherical black hole. Moreover, within specific parameter regions, the capped black hole can exhibit a larger entropy than the Cvetič-Youm black hole.

New construction of a charged dipole black ring by Harrison transformation

We present an exact solution for a non-BPS charged rotating black ring endowed with a dipole charge in the bosonic sector of five-dimensional minimal supergravity. Utilizing the electric Harrison transformation, we derive this solution by converting a five-dimensional vacuum solution into a charged solution within the realm of five-dimensional minimal supergravity. As the seed solution for the Harrison transformation, we use a vacuum solution of a rotating black ring possessing a Dirac-Misner string singularity. The resulting solution exhibits regularity, indicating the absence of curvature singularities, conical singularities, orbifold singularities, Dirac-Misner string singularities, and closed timelike curves both on and outside the horizon. This obtained solution carries mass, two angular momenta, an electric charge, and a dipole charge, with only three of these quantities being independent, similar to the charged rotating dipole black ring found previously by Elvang, Emparan and Figueras. However, aside from the vacuum case, these two solutions do not coincide. We discuss the difference between them in the phase space.
