Ultrarelativistic boost of spinning and charged black rings

Abstract

We study Aichelburg-Sexl ultrarelativistic limits in higher dimensions. After reviewing the boost of D>=4 Reissner-Nordstrom black holes as a simple illustrative example, we consider the case of D=5 black rings, presenting new results for static charged rings.
