Rotating black holes in Randall-Sundrum II braneworlds

We find rotating black hole solutions in the Randall-Sundrum II (RSII) model, by numerically solving a three-dimensional PDE problem using pseudospectral collocation methods. We compute the area and equatorial inner-most stable orbits of these solutions. For large black holes compared with the AdS length scale, $\ell$, the black hole exhibits four-dimensional behaviour, approaching the Kerr metric on the brane, whilst for small black holes, the solution tends instead towards a five-dimensional Myers-Perry black hole with a single non-zero rotation parameter aligned with the brane. This departure from exact four-dimensional gravity may lead to different phenomenological predictions for rotating black holes in the RSII model to those in standard four-dimensional general relativity. This letter provides a stepping stone for studying such modifications.
