Extremal rotating black holes in Einstein–Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory: Radially excited solutions and nonuniqueness
We study five-dimensional black holes in Einstein–Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory with free Chern–Simons (CS) coupling parameter. We consider an event horizon with spherical topology, and both angular momenta of equal magnitude. In particular, we study extremal black holes, which can be used to obtain the boundary of the domain of existence. Above a critical value of the CS coupling constant we find nonstatic extremal solutions with vanishing angular momentum. These solutions form a sequence which can be labeled by the node number of the magnetic U(1) potential or the inertial dragging. As the node number increases, their mass converges to the mass of the extremal Reissner–Nordström solution. The near-horizon geometry of the solutions of this sequence is the same. In general not all near-horizon solutions are found as global solutions, and we show nonuniqueness between extremal solutions and nonextremal ones.
