| Summary:

We study the scalar tidal responses of spinning higher-dimensional black
holes, and their effective field theory description. After constructing the
effective field theory of a spinning point particle in general dimension, we
apply this theory to match the scalar responses of a variety of black hole
solutions. In addition to the five-dimensional Myers–Perry black hole, we
derive the scalar responses of spinning black holes in the large $D$ limit, and
also study the responses of black holes in the ultra-spinning regime. We find
that in the most generic case, the static responses of higher-dimensional
spinning black holes do not vanish, but for special cases we find a pattern of
zeroes in the responses, similar to other known examples. Further, we observe
various interesting relations between the responses.
