DESCRIPTION:\n    Ninety-nine years after Einstein formulated General Rela
 tivity\, the pivotal role of its most fundamental and fascinating objects 
 --- the black holes --- is nowadays recognized in many areas of physics\, 
 even beyond astrophysics and cosmology. Still\, solving the theory that go
 verns their dynamics remains a formidable challenge that continues to dema
 nd new ideas. From many points of view\, it is natural to consider the num
 ber of spacetime dimensions\, D\, as an adjustable parameter in the theory
 . Then we can use it for a perturbative expansion of the theory around the
  limit of very many dimensions\, that is\, considering 1/D as a small numb
 er. In this limit the gravitational field of a black hole simplifies great
 ly and its equations often turn out to be analytically tractable. A simple
  picture emerges in which\, among other things\, the shape of the black ho
 le is determined by the same equations that describe soap bubbles.\n\nhttp
