Classification of Static Charged Black Holes in Higher Dimensions

Abstract

The uniqueness theorem for static charged higher dimensional black hole containing an asymptotically flat spacelike hypersurface with compact interior and with both degenerate and non-degenerate components of event horizon is proposed. By studies of the near-horizon geometry of degenerate horizons one was able to eliminate the previous restriction concerning the inequality fulfilled by the charges of the adequate components of the aforementioned horizons.
