Revisiting a family of five-dimensional charged, rotating black holes

Abstract

In the absence of a higher-dimensional analogue to the Kerr-Newman black hole, 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with a Chern-Simons term has become a natural setting for studying charged, stationary solutions. A prominent example is the Chong-Cveti\v{c}-L\"{u}-Pope (CCLP) solution, which describes a non-extremal black hole with electric charge and two independent angular momenta. This solution has been widely studied, and generalizations have been proposed. In this paper, we revisit a large family of five-dimensional black hole solutions to Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons (EMCS) field equations, which admits to be written in terms of a generalized Pleba\'{n}ski-Demia\'{n}ski ansatz and includes the CCLP and the Kerr-NUT-Anti-de Sitter solutions as particular cases. We show that the complete family can be brought to the CCLP form by means of a suitable coordinate transformation and a complex redefinition of parameters. Then, we compute the conserved charges associated to the CCLP form of the metric by analyzing the near-horizon asymptotic symmetries. We show that the zero-mode of the near-horizon charges exactly match the result of the Komar integrals.
