Description
After a review of our current knowledge about
higher-dimensional black holes, I will discuss some problems that
arise due to novel types of black holes that do not arise in four
dimensions. In particular, the absence of uniqueness, and the
existence of horizons with the geometry of a product space seem to
require new ideas and tools in order to achieve a better
characterization and classification of black holes.
