Separability of multi-charge black holes in supergravity

Abstract

In this paper, we show that some five-dimensional rotating black hole solutions of both gauged and ungauged supergravity, with independent rotation parameters and three charges admit separable solutions to the massless Hamilton-Jacobi and Klein-Gordon equations. This allows us to write down a conformal Killing tensor for the spacetime. Conformal Killing tensors obey an equation involving a co-vector field. We find this co-vector field in three specific examples, and also give a general formula for it.
