A uniqueness theorem for stationary Kaluza-Klein black holes

Hollands, Stefan, Yazadjiev, Stoytcho

Understand

We prove a uniqueness theorem for stationary $D$-dimensional Kaluza-Klein black holes with $D-2$ Killing fields, generating the symmetry group ${\mathbb R} \times U(1)^{D-3}$.

  • It is shown that the topology and metric of such black holes is uniquely determined by the angular momenta and certain other invariants consisting of a number of real moduli, as well as integer vectors subject to certain constraints.
