A Classification of Supersymmetric Kaluza–Klein Black Holes with a Single Axial Symmetry

We extend the recent classification of five-dimensional, supersymmetric asymptotically flat black holes with only a single axial symmetry to black holes with Kaluza–Klein asymptotics. This includes a similar class of solutions for which the supersymmetric Killing field is generically timelike, and the corresponding base (orbit space of the supersymmetric Killing field) is of multi-centred Gibbons–Hawking type. These solutions are determined by four harmonic functions on \(\mathbb {R}^3\) with simple poles at the centres corresponding to connected components of the horizon, and fixed points of the axial symmetry. The allowed horizon topologies are \(S^3\), \(S^2\times S^1\), and lens space L(p, 1), and the domain of outer communication may have non-trivial topology with non-contractible 2-cycles. The classification also reveals a novel class of supersymmetric (multi-)black rings for which the supersymmetric Killing field is globally null. These solutions are determined by two harmonic functions on \(\mathbb {R}^3\) with simple poles at centres corresponding to horizon components. We determine the subclass of Kaluza–Klein black holes that can be dimensionally reduced to obtain smooth, supersymmetric, four-dimensional multi-black holes. This gives a classification of four-dimensional asymptotically flat supersymmetric multi-black holes first described by Denef et al.
