The classification problem in higher dimensional gravity
Despite growing interest in the study of higher dimensional gravity in recent years, most higher dimensional solutions found to date, have been direct generalisations of four dimensional solutions. One way to investigate higher dimensional gravity independent of 4d case is to attempt a systematic study of higher dimensional general relativity. After reviewing some general results in higher dimensions, I will describe higher dimensional classification schemes and their applications, including the study of higher dimensional axisymmetric solutions.
