The quantum mechanics of $N$ slowly-moving BPS black holes in five dimensions is considered. A divergent continuum of states describing arbitrarily closely bound black holes with arbitrarily small excitation energies is found. A…
The low-energy dynamics of any system admitting a continuum of static configurations is approximated by slow motion in moduli (configuration) space. Here, following Ferrell and Eardley, this moduli space approximation is utilized to study…
Common wisdom associates all the unraveled and theoretically challenging aspects of gravity with its UV-completion. However, there appear to be few difficulties afflicting the effective framework for gravity already at low energy, that are…
Popular approaches to quantum gravity describe black hole microstates differently and apply different statistics to count them. Since the relationship between the approaches is not clear, this obscures the role of statistics in calculating…
Primordial black holes, with masses comparable to asteroids, are an attractive possibility for dark matter. In addition, other forms of dark matter could form compact dark objects (CDO). We search for small tidal accelerations from low mass…
We analyze the consequences of the recently found generalization of the Christodoulou-Ruffini black hole mass decomposition for Einstein-Born-Infeld black holes [characterized by the parameters $(Q,M,b)$, where $M = M(M_{irr},Q,b)$, $b$…
As shown recently (W. Kummer, H. Liebl, D.V. Vassilevich, Nucl. Phys. B 544, 403 (1999)) 2d quantum gravity theories --- including spherically reduced Einstein-gravity --- after an exact path integral of its geometric part can be treated…
Using the Reduced Basis approach, we efficiently compress and accurately represent the space of waveforms for non-precessing binary black hole inspirals, which constitutes a four dimensional parameter space (two masses, two spin…

In this work, we discuss the generalized Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton gravity theory with a nonminimal coupling between the Maxwell field and scalar field. Considering different geometric properties of black hole horizon structure, the charged…
Several anomalies of black hole thermodynamics are resolved if one accepts hints from semi classical theory that in regions of strong gravity the energy density of the vacuum can become substantially negative. This leads to a picture of the…
We consider an Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet massive gravity model in $4D$ AdS spacetime to obtain a possible black hole solution and discuss the horizon structure of this black hole. The real roots of the vanishing metric function lead to various…
Static spherically symmetric black hole solution is obtained in the framework of Einstein-dilaton theory with nonlinear Maxwell and Yang-Mills fields of power-law type. It is observed that black hole might have two horizons similarly as it…
We solve the elliptic equations associated with the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints, corresponding to a system composed of two black holes with arbitrary linear and angular momentum. These new solutions are based on a Kerr-Schild…
In the presence of a Killing symmetry, various self-gravitating field theories with massless scalars (moduli) and vector fields reduce to sigma-models, effectively coupled to 3-dimensional gravity. We argue that this particular structure of…
The full metric describing two counter-rotating identical Kerr black holes separated by a massless strut is derived in the explicit analytical form. It contains three arbitrary parameters which are the Komar mass M, Komar angular momentum…
Black hole physics currently lacks a fully coherent understanding of the black hole mass (density), entropy, and interior (non-)singularity. These concepts are related to the black hole radius, area (of the horizon), and volume (within the…
We look for physically realistic initial data in numerical relativity which are in agreement with post-Newtonian approximations. We propose a particular solution of the time-symmetric constraint equation, appropriate to two momentarily…
It is an interesting open problem whether two non-extremal rotating and electrically charged black holes can be in physical equilibrium, which might be possible due to a balance between the gravitational attraction and the spin-spin and…
