Spinning black strings in five-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

We construct generalizations of the D = 5 Kerr black string by including higher curvature corrections to the gravity action in the form of the Gauss-Bonnet density. These uniform black strings satisfy a generalized Smarr relation and share the basic properties of the Einstein gravity solutions. However, they exist only up to a maximal value of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant, which depends on the solutions' mass and angular momentum. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
