A supersymmetric black lens

Understand

We present a new supersymmetric, asymptotically flat, black hole solution to five-dimensional supergravity.

• It is regular on and outside an event horizon of lens space topology L(2,1).
• It is the first example of an asymptotically flat black hole with lens space topology.
• The solution is characterised by a charge, two angular momenta and a magnetic flux through a non-contractible disc region ending on the horizon, with one constraint relating these.
