Peculiar five-dimensional black holes

Abstract

In this article, we review two black hole solutions to the five-dimensional Lovelock gravity. These solutions are characterized by the non-vanishing torsion and the peculiar property that all their conserved charges vanish. The first solution is a spherically symmetric black hole with torsion, which also has zero entropy in the semiclassical approximation. The second solution is a black ring, which is the five-dimensional uplift of the BTZ black hole with torsion in three dimensions.
