Black holes, dark energy, and the Higgs field are all currently established, exciting, and mysterious, each in its own way. Cosmological data show that dark energy may evolve with time. The electroweak phase transition during stellar…
We propose that a large Schwarzschild black hole (BH) is a bound state of highly excited, long, closed strings at the Hagedorn temperature. The size of the bound state is smaller than the string random-walk scale and determined dynamically…
This paper explores the properties of black holes using a new model of nonlinear electrodynamics called modified Maxwell (ModMax), in conjunction with nonlinear massive gravity known as dRGT-like massive gravity. We start by deriving the…
We propose that the growth of supermassive black holes is associated mainly with brief episodes of highly super-Eddington infall of gas ("hyperaccretion"). This gas is not swallowed in real time, but forms an envelope of matter around the…
We consider the thermodynamics of a black hole coupled to thermal radiation in a spatially finite (spherical) region. Thermodynamic state functions are derived in the canonical ensemble, defined by elements of radius $r_o$ and boundary…

We have recently proposed a model for a regular black hole, or an ultra-compact object, that is premised on having maximally negative radial pressure throughout the entirety of the object's interior. This model can be viewed as that of a…

In this paper, a procedure which gives euclidean solutions of 3-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills equations when one has solutions of the Einstein equations is proposed. The method is based on reformulating Yang-Mills theory in such a way…

Alternative theories of gravity and their solutions are of considerable importance since at some fundamental level the world can reveal new features. Indeed, it is suspected that the gravitational field might be nonminimally coupled to the…
We discuss the worldsheet sigma-model whose target space is the $d+1$ dimensional Euclidean Schwarzschild black hole. We argue that in the limit where the Hawking temperature of the black hole, $T$, approaches the Hagedorn temperature,…
In this paper, I investigate the nonlinear magnetized black holes of massive gravity's rainbow. In order to achieve this, I use the double-logarithmic electromagnetic field as a matter source and derive the new anti-de Sitter black hole…
We construct three models to describe the scenario where two eternal black holes are separated by a flat space, and can eventually be entangled by exchanging radiations. In the doubly holographic setup, we compute the entanglement entropy…

The most general charged and rotating black hole in Kaluza-Klein theory is known to be described by the Rasheed-Larsen solution. When the under-rotating extremal limit of this solution is taken, it falls into a general class of solutions of…
