Abstract: (APS)
The Majumdar-Papapetrou solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations are generalized to asymptotically flat (N+1)-dimensional space-times. These new solutions are then used to construct black-hole solutions in which the extra dimensions are compactified on a torus. Conjectures about similar constructions for the vacuum Einstein equations are also discussed.
