Description

We construct exact charged rotating black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory in D spacetime dimensions, D>=5, by embedding the D-dimensional Myers-Perry solutions in D+1 dimensions, and performing a boost with a subsequent Kaluza-Klein reduction. Like the Myers-Perry solutions, these black holes generically possess N=[(D-1)/2] independent angular momenta. We present the global and horizon properties of these black holes, and discuss their domains of existence
