Abstract
We present balanced black ring solutions of pure Einstein-Maxwell theory in
five dimensions. The solutions are asymptotically flat, and their tension and
gravitational self-attraction are balanced by the repulsion due to rotation and
electrical charge. Hence the solutions are free of conical singularities and
possess a regular horizon which exhibits the topology S1 x S2 of a torus. We
discuss the global charges and the horizon properties of the solutions and show
that they satisfy a Smarr relation. We construct these black rings numerically,
restricting to the case of black rings with a rotation in the direction of the
S1.
