Black String Solutions with arbitrary Tension

Abstract

We consider 1+4 dimensional black string solutions which are invariant under translation along the fifth direction. The solutions are characterized by the two parameters, mass and tension, of the source. The Gregory-Laflamme solution is shown to be characterized by the tension whose magnitude is one half of the mass per unit length of the source. The general black string solution with arbitrary tension is presented and its properties are discussed.
