Abstract: We present numerical evidence for the existence of several types of new black hole solutions with a nonspherical event horizon topology in d>5 spacetime dimensions. These asymptotically flat configurations are found for specific metric Ansatze by directly solving the Einstein equations with suitable boundary conditions.

Enhanced AdS Horizons

Abstract: We shall be investigating whether there is near-horizon supersymmetry enhancement in supersymmetric black hole solutions to minimal gauged supergravity in five dimensions; as all known black holes of the gauged theory exhibit supersymmetry enhancement from $1/4$ to $1/2$ in the near

Abstract: Numerical relativity in higher dimensional spacetimes has been one of powerful tools to study various phenomina such as the stability of higher dimensional black holes and the verification for higher dimensional gravity.
