Description

We find exact solutions for rotating and nonrotating neutral black holes in the Goedel universe of five-dimensional minimal supergravity theory. We also describe the embedding of this solution in M-theory. After dimensional reduction and T-duality, we obtain a supergravity solution corresponding to placing a black string in a pp-wave background
