ABSTRACT We study the boundary value problem for the stationary rotating black hole solutions to the five-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation. Assuming the two commuting rotational symmetry and the sphericity of the horizon topology, we show that the black hole is uniquely characterized by the mass, and a pair of the angular momenta.

[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We prove the uniqueness theorem for asymptotically flat static vacuum black hole solutions in higher dimensional space-times. We also construct infinitely many non-asymptotically flat regular static black holes on the same spacetime manifold with the same spherical topology.

ABSTRACT: A rigidity result of the complete n-dimensional spin Ricci flat manifolds admitting a certain smooth S1 action is proved, provided that the action has fixed points and the metric is asymptotically flat. Such manifolds are isometric to the n-dimensional Riemannian Schwarzschild metric.

##### Article: A Model for High Energy Scattering in Quantum Gravity
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a model for high energy two body scattering in a quantum theory of gravity. The model is applicable for center of mass energies higher than the relevant Planck scale. At impact parameters smaller than the Schwarzchild radius appropriate to the center of mass energy and total charge of the initial state, the cross section is dominated by an inelastic process in which a single large black hole is formed. The black hole then decays by Hawking radiation. The elastic cross section is highly suppressed at these impact parameters because of the small phase space for thermal decay into a high energy two body state. For very large impact parameter the amplitude is dominated by eikonalized single graviton exchange. At intermediate impact parameters the scattering is more complicated, but since the Schwarzchild radius grows with energy, we speculate that a more sophisticated eikonal calculation which uses the nonlinear classical solutions of the field equations may provide a good approximation at all larger impact parameters. We discuss the extent to which black hole production will be observable in theories with low scale quantum gravity and large dimensions.
