　　　　 　　　　　　　　（ABSTRACT）　
 　 
I will review the status of known and conjectured black hole solutions 
in higher dimensions, and discuss some solution generating techniques. 
I will present numerical evidence for several new kinds of nonspherical 
static black hole solutions (supported by conical singularities) and 
consider the issue of their rotating generalizations. By employing 
analytic approximations, I will argue that new types of charged black 
ring solutions in asymptotically flat and AdS spaces should also exist.
