We show that the general charged, rotating black hole in five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory has a singular extremal limit. Only the known analytic solutions with exactly zero…

Sudden breakdown of effective field theory near cool Kerr-Newman black holes
Gary T. Horowitz, Maciej Kolanowski, Grant N. Remmen +1
It was recently shown that (near-)extremal Kerr black holes are sensitive probes of small higher-derivative corrections to general relativity. In particular, these corrections prod…
