Abstract

We present arguments for the existence of charged, rotating black holes in d = 2 N + 1 dimensions, with d ⩾ 5 with a positive cosmological constant. These solutions possess both a regular horizon and a cosmological horizon of spherical topology and have N equal-magnitude angular momenta. They approach asymptotically the de Sitter-spacetime background. The counterpart equations for d = 2 N + 2 are investigated, by assuming that the fields are independent of the extra dimension y , leading to black string solutions. These solutions are regular at the event horizon. The asymptotic form of the metric is not of the de Sitter-type and exhibits a naked singularity at finite proper distance.
