Extremal rotating black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory: radially excited solutions and non-uniqueness

Abstract

We study 5-dimensional black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with free Chern-Simons coupling parameter. We consider an event horizon with spherical topology, and both angular momenta of equal magnitude. In particular, we study extremal black holes, which can be used to obtain the boundary of the domain of existence. Above a critical value of the Chern-Simons coupling constant we find non-static extremal solutions with vanishing angular momentum. These solutions form a sequence which can be labeled by the node number of the magnetic $U(1)$ potential or the inertial dragging. As the node number increases, their mass converges to the mass of the extremal Reissner-Nordström solution. The near-horizon geometry of the solutions of this sequence is the same. In general not all near-horizon solutions are found as global solutions, and we show non-uniqueness between extremal solutions and non-extremal ones.
