A Supersymmetric black ring

A new supersymmetric black hole solution of five-dimensional supergravity is presented. It has an event horizon of topology S1 X S2. This is the first example of a supersymmetric, asymptotically flat black hole of nonspherical topology. The solution is uniquely specified by its electric charge and two independent angular momenta. These conserved charges can be arbitrarily close, but not exactly equal, to those of a supersymmetric black hole of spherical topology.

Microstates of a neutral black hole in M theory

We consider vacuum solutions in M theory of the form of a five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein black hole cross T6. In a certain limit, these include the five-dimensional neutral rotating black hole (cross T6). From a type-IIA standpoint, these solutions carry D0 and D6 charges. We show that there is a simple D-brane description which precisely reproduces the Hawking-Bekenstein entropy in the extremal limit, even though supersymmetry is completely broken.

Microscopic entropy of the black ring

A surprising new seven-parameter supersymmetric black ring solution of five-dimensional supergravity has recently been discovered. In this paper, M theory is used to give an exact microscopic accounting of its entropy.

New horizons for black holes and branes

We initiate a systematic scan of the landscape of black holes in any spacetime dimension using the recently proposed blackfold effective worldvolume theory. We focus primarily on asymptotically flat stationary vacuum solutions, where we uncover large classes of new black holes. These include helical black strings and black rings, black odd-spheres, for which the horizon is a product of a large and a small sphere, and non-uniform black cylinders. More exotic possibilities are also outlined. The blackfold description recovers correctly the ultraspinning Myers-Perry black holes as ellipsoidal even-ball configurations where the velocity field approaches the speed of light at the boundary of the ball. Helical black ring solutions provide the first instance of asymptotically flat black holes in more than four dimensions with a single spatial U(1) isometry. They also imply infinite rational non-uniqueness in ultraspinning regimes, where they maximize the entropy among all stationary single-horizon solutions. Moreover, static blackfolds are possible with the geometry of minimal surfaces. The absence of compact embedded minimal surfaces in Euclidean space is consistent with the uniqueness theorem of static black holes

A relação escola-pais: um modelo de trocas e colaboração

Este estudo usa dados qualitativos coletados em entrevistas com um grupo de 21 "pais" de crianças de 4º série do 1º grau, em oito escolas estaduais de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. O objetivo foi o de pesquisar sua opinião sobre seu envolvimento com a escola primária e com aspectos educacionais. Os dados foram coletados utilizando a tipologia criada por Epstein (in Brandt, 1989), na qual foram resumidas em cinco categorias as várias maneiras de envolver os pais com a escola. Esta tipologia tem sido usada em várias pesquisas, em diferentes países e sua validade já se encontra testada cientificamente. É também usada a teoria das esferas sobrepostas (Epstein, 1987). Os resultados mostram o surgimento de um modelo diferente do de Epstein, que pode ser resumido em três categorias: ajuda, comunicação e envolvimento. A nossa definição de "pais" inclui mães, pais, e todos os outros responsáveis pela guarda legal da criança, mas isso não implica a participação de pais neste estudo, pois nele prevaleceram mães que costumam ser mais presentes na escola, tanto no Brasil como em outros países.
