In a Randall-Sundrum theory (RS1) 3+1 dimensional black holes and higher dimensional black holes are not the natural continuations of each other. 3+1 dimensional black holes decay into a large number of 4+1 dimensional black holes at a…
We consider the corrections due to quantum fluctuations of fields on charged black holes induced from the energy-momentum trace anomaly. Although the number of horizons stays unchanged and their positions receive only finite corrections,…
We consider a particle falling into a rotating black hole. Such a particle makes an infinite number of revolutions $n$ from the viewpoint of a remote observer who uses the Boyer-Lindquist type of coordinates. We examine the behavior of $n$…
We undertake the task of studying the non-linear dynamics of quantum gravity motivated alternatives to black holes that in the classical limit appear as ultra-compact shells of matter. We develop a formalism that should be amenable to…
We investigate the physics of black holes in the light of the quantum theoretical framework proposed in [1]. It is argued that black holes are completely non-local objects, and that the only one which really exists is the universe itself.
We propose a novel black hole model in which singular and regular black holes are combined as a whole and more precisely singular and regular black holes are regarded as different states of parameter evolution. We refer to them as singular…
A brief overview of the discovery that macroscopic black holes are thermodynamical systems is presented. They satisfy the laws of thermodynamics and are associated with a temperature and an entropy equal to one quarter of their horizon area…
Starting from the Oppenheimer-Snyder model, we know how in classical general relativity the gravitational collapse of matter form a black hole with a central spacetime singularity. It is widely believed that the singularity must be removed…
Recently the quantum Oppenheimer-Snyder gravitational collapse model has been proposed in loop quantum gravity, providing quantum-corrected Schwarzschild spacetimes as the exterior of the collapsing dust ball. In this paper, the quantum…
We consider the quantum vacuum effects of the massless scalar fields that are non-minimally coupled to the background geometry of a collapsing homogeneous ball of dust. It is shown that for a definite range of coupling constants, there are…
A succinct summary is given of the problem of reconciling observation of black hole-like objects with quantum mechanics. If quantum black holes behave like subsystems, and also decay, their information must be transferred to their…
In spherical symmetry, the total energy-momentum tensor near the apparent horizon is identified up to a single function of time from two assumptions: a trapped region forms at a finite time of a distant observer, and values of two curvature…
Black holes are popping up all over the place: in compact binary X-ray sources and GRBs, in quasars, AGNs and the cores of all bulge galaxies, in binary black holes and binary black hole-neutron stars, and maybe even in the LHC! Black holes…
It is shown that the Hawking radiation and staying at the Schwarzschild state are not consistent for black holes as graviton balls. The only exception is the eternal black hole.
In accordance with current models of the accelerating Universe as a spacetime with a positive cosmological constant, new results about a cosmological upper bound for the area of stable marginally outer trapped surfaces are found taking into…
We study smooth bubble spacetimes in five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory that resemble four-dimensional magnetic black holes upon Kaluza-Klein reduction. We denote them as Topological Stars since they have topological cycles supported…
We analyze the thermodynamical behavior of black holes in closed finite boxes. First the black hole mass evolution is analyzed in an initially empty box. Using the conservation of the energy and the Hawking evaporation flux, we deduce a…
The interior of a Schwarzschild black hole is investigated at the level of phenomenological dynamics with the discreteness corrections of loop quantum geometry implemented in two different improved quantization schemes. In one scheme, the…
Sufficiently small Schwarzschild-AdS black holes in asymptotically global AdS$_5 \times S^5$ spacetime are known to become dynamically unstable toward deformation of the internal $S^5$ geometry. The resulting evolution of such an unstable…
In light of recent evidence suggesting a nonzero present-day cosmological constant, Adams, Mbonye, & Laughlin (1999) have considered the evolution of black holes in the presence of vacuum energy. Using the assumption that Lambda remains…
