TL;DR
This paper presents a bulk-first construction of a $5D$ rotating braneworld black hole that is analytically localized near a four-dimensional Kerr brane and asymptotically approaches $AdS_5$. By applying the $5D$ Janis–Newman algorithm in Hopf coordinates to a warped seed metric, the authors obtain a rotating bulk whose induced brane metric is Kerr, and whose bulk energy-momentum transitions from a non-diagonal anisotropic form to a negative cosmological constant. The solution features two curvature singularities, pancake-shaped horizons that extend into the extra dimension, and an ergosurface structure that likewise extends bulk-ward, with the inner horizon disappearing faster than the outer. Energy conditions are carefully analyzed via a dual-basis diagonalization, revealing localized bulk violations essential for brane confinement, and the asymptotic bulk tends to $AdS_5$, validating the holographic-like boundary interpretation. Overall, the work provides a coherent analytic framework for a rotating, localized 5D black hole connected to an $AdS_5$ boundary, deepening understanding of bulk effects on brane Kerr spacetimes and horizon geometry in higher dimensions.
Abstract
We provide a method to describe the geometry of an analytic, exponentially localized $5D$ rotating braneworld black hole, using the $5D$ Janis Newman algorithm in Hopf coordinates. The induced metric on the brane matches the standard $4D$ Kerr spacetime. Two curvature singularities arise: one confined to the $3$-brane at $z = r = 0$, and another that, on the brane, reproduces the Kerr singularity at $r = 0$, $\barθ = π/2$. The inner and event horizons, together with the stationary limit hypersurfaces, extend into the extra dimension in a pancake-like shape. We describe their behavior in the bulk. The energy momentum tensor represents a source transitioning from an anisotropic, non diagonal structure to a vacuum with negative cosmological constant. Thus, the localized black hole connects to an AdS$_5$ boundary. The geometry is supported by a non-diagonal anisotropic fluid in the bulk, requiring no matter on the brane. To evaluate the energy conditions, we use a one form from the dual basis that yields a diagonal energy momentum tensor.
