Black holes are one of the most remarkable predictions of
Einstein's general relativity. In recent years, ideas in
brane-world cosmology, string theory and gauge/gravity duality have
motivated studies of black holes in more than four dimensions, with
surprising results. In higher dimensions, black holes exist with
exotic shapes and unusual dynamics. Edited by leading expert Gary
Horowitz, this exciting book is the first devoted to this new
field. The major discoveries are explained by the people who made
them: Rob Myers describes the Myers-Perry solutions that represent
rotating black holes in higher dimensions; Ruth Gregory describes
the Gregory-Laflamme instability of black strings; and Juan
Maldacena introduces gauge/gravity duality, the remarkable
correspondence that relates a gravitational theory to
nongravitational physics. Accessible to anyone with a standard
course in general relativity, this is an important resource for
graduate students and researchers in general relativity, string
theory and high energy physics.
