Description

I will present new rotating black hole solutions of the low-energy effective action of string theory. These geometries are asymptotically flat with a linear dilaton vacuum and exhibit unusual thermodynamic properties, including a mass-independent Hawking temperature and absence of a Kerr-like bound. Finally, I will show that these solutions arise from the large-d limit of Myers–Perry black holes. This talk is based on 2602.06905.
