d⩾5 static black holes with S2×Sd−4 event horizon topology

We present numerical evidence for the existence of new black hole solutions in d⩾6 spacetime dimensions. They approach asymptotically the Minkowski background and have an event horizon topology S2×Sd−4. These static solutions share the basic properties of the nonrotating black rings in five dimensions, in particular the presence of a conical singularity.
