Near-horizon geometries of supersymmetric AdS(5) black holes
Abstract
We provide a classification of near-horizon geometries of supersymmetric,
asymptotically anti-de Sitter, black holes of five-dimensional U(1)^3-gauged
supergravity which admit two rotational symmetries. We find three
possibilities: a topologically spherical horizon, an S^1 \times S^2 horizon and
a toroidal horizon. The near-horizon geometry of the topologically spherical
case turns out to be that of the most general known supersymmetric,
asymptotically anti-de Sitter, black hole of U(1)^3-gauged supergravity. The
other two cases have constant scalars and only exist in particular regions of
this moduli space -- in particular they do not exist within minimal gauged
supergravity. We also find a solution corresponding to the near-horizon
geometry of a three-charge supersymmetric black ring held in equilibrium by a
conical singularity; when lifted to type IIB supergravity this solution can be
made regular, resulting in a discrete family of warped AdS(3) geometries.
Analogous results are presented in U(1)^n gauged supergravity.
