Rotating Black Holes which Saturate a Bogomol'nyi Bound

Abstract

We construct and study the electrically charged, rotating black hole solution in heterotic string theory compactified on a dimensional torus. This black hole is characterized by its mass, angular momentum, and a dimensional electric charge vector. One of the novel features of this solution is that for , its extremal limit saturates the Bogomol'nyi bound. This is in contrast with the case where the rotating black hole solution develops a naked singularity before the Bogomol'nyi bound is reached. The extremal black holes can be superposed, and by taking a periodic array in , one obtains effectively four dimensional solutions without naked singularities.
