Black Holes in Higher Dimensions
by Roberto Emparan, Harvey S. Reall
Publisher: arXiv 2008
Number of pages: 77
Description:
We review black hole solutions of higher-dimensional vacuum gravity, and of higher-dimensional supergravity theories. The discussion of vacuum gravity is pedagogical, with detailed reviews of Myers-Perry solutions, black rings, and solution-generating techniques. We discuss black hole solutions of maximal supergravity theories, including black holes in anti-de Sitter space.

A Beginner's Guide to Supergravityby Ulrich Theis - Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena
These are lecture notes on basic N=1 supergravity in four dimensions aimed at graduate students with some previous exposure to general relativity and rigid supersymmetry. We provide a self-contained derivation of the off-shell supergravity multiplet.
