Kerr-Gauss-Bonnet black holes: Exact analytical solution

Gauss-Bonnet gravity provides one of the most promising, frameworks for studying curvature corrections to the Einstein action in supersymmetric string theories while avoiding ghosts and keeping second- order field equations. Although Schwarzschild-type solutions for Gauss-Bonnet black holes have been known for a long time, the Kerr-Gauss-Bonnet metric was missing. A five dimensional Gauss-Bonnet solution is obtained analytically for spinning black holes, and the related thermodynamical properties are briefly outlined.
