Equilibrium states of black holes can be modelled by isolated horizons. If the intrinsic geometry is spherical, they are called type I while if it is axi-symmetric, they are called type II. The detailed theory of geometry of \emph{quantum}…

Recently, a novel $4D$ Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity was formulated and a spherically symmetric black hole solution in this theory was derived by D. Glavan and C. Lin \cite{Glavan:2019inb}. In this paper, we study the geodesic motions…

This is a report of our recent investigation on the extremal dilatonic black holes in four dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We found that a global solution can exist only when the dilaton coupling is less than a critical value which can be…
Higher dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity can be particularized to a four dimensional case either using the Glavan, D. and Lin, C. type \cite{glavan2020einstein} limiting method or by the Hordenski type \cite{gurses2007gauss} metric…
In this paper we provide the first non-trivial evidence for universality of the entropy formula $4\pi J_{0}^{+}J_{0}^{-}$ beyond pure Einstein gravity in 4-dimensions. We consider the Einstein-Maxwell theory in the presence of cosmological…
Using the Sen's mechanism we calculate the entropy for an $AdS_{2}\times S^{d-2}$ extremal and static black hole in four dimensions, with higher derivative terms that comes from a three parameter non-minimal Einstein-Maxwell theory. The…

The isolated horizon formalism recently introduced by Ashtekar et al. aims at providing a quasi-local concept of a black hole in equilibrium in an otherwise possibly dynamical spacetime. In this formalism, a hierarchy of geometrical…

Static solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs system containing extreme black holes are studied. The field equations imply strong restrictions on boundary values of all fields at the horizon. If the Yang-Mills radial electric field $E$…
