Abstract
In higher dimensions than four, conventional uniqueness theorem in asymptotically flat space-times does not hold, i.e., black objects cannot be classified only by the mass, angular momentum, and charge. In this paper, we define multipole moments for black objects and show that Myers-Perry black hole and black ring can be distinguished by quadrupole moments. This consideration gives us a new insight for the uniqueness theorem for black objects in higher dimensions.
