Anti-de Sitter black holes in supergravity

In this dissertation, we systematically construct non-extremal charged rotating
anti-de Sitter black hole solutions in four, five and seven dimensions. In four dimensions,
we first obtain the rotating Kerr-Taub-NUT metric with four independent
charges, as solutions of N = 2 supergravity coupled to three abelian vector multiplets
by the solution generating technique. Then we generalise the four-dimensional rotating
solutions to the solutions of gauged N = 4 supergravity with charges set pairwise
equal. In five dimensions, the most general charged rotating black hole solution has
three charge and two rotation parameters. We obtain several special cases of the general
solution. To be specific, we obtain the first example of a non-extremal rotating
black hole solution with two independent rotation parameters, which has two charge
parameters set equal and the third vanishing. In another example, we obtain the nonextremal
charged rotating black hole solution with three charge parameters set equal
and non-equal rotation parameters. We are also able to construct the single-charge
solution with two independent rotation parameters. In seven dimensions, we obtain
the solution for non-extremal charged rotating black holes in gauged supergravity, in
the case where the three rotation parameters are set equal. There are two independent
charges, corresponding to gauge fields in the U(1) × U(1) abelian subgroup of
the SO(5) gauge group.
