We obtain a classification of stationary, $I^+$--regular, non-degenerate and analytic electro-vacuum space-times in terms of Weinstein solutions. In particular, for connected horizons, we prove uniqueness of the Kerr-Newman black holes.
We prove uniqueness of the near-horizon geometries arising from degenerate Kerr black holes within the collection of nearby vacuum near-horizon geometries.
We prove that the only four dimensional, stationary, rotating, asymptotically flat (analytic) vacuum black hole with a single degenerate horizon is given by the extremal Kerr solution. We also prove a similar uniqueness theorem for the…
We show that the domains of dependence of stationary, $I^+$-regular, analytic, electrovacuum space-times with a connected, non-empty, rotating, degenerate event horizon arise from Kerr-Newman space-times.
We prove that a regular stationary black-hole solution of the Einstein vacuum equations which is "close" to some Kerr solution is, in fact, isometric to that Kerr solution.
We prove the uniqueness theorem for stationary self-gravitating non-linear \sigma-models in five-dimensional spacetime. We show that the Myers-Perry vacuum Kerr spacetime is the only maximally extended, stationary, axisymmetric,…

Classical black holes are solutions of the field equations of General Relativity. Many astronomical observations suggest that black holes really exist in nature. However, an unambiguous proof for their existence is still lacking. Neither…

The spacetime singularities in classical general relativity are inevitable, which are also predicated by the celebrated singularity theorems. However, it is general belief that singularities do not exist in the nature and they are the…
A global uniqueness theorem for stationary black holes is proved as a direct consequence of the Topological Censorship Theorem and the topological classification of compact, simply connected four-manifolds.
I review the black hole uniqueness theorem and the no hair theorems established for physical black hole stationary states by the early 80'. This review presents the original and decisive work of Carter, Robinson, Mazur and Bunting on the…
We obtain a geometrical condition on vacuum, stationary, asymptotically flat spacetimes which is necessary and sufficient for the spacetime to be locally isometric to Kerr. Namely, we prove a theorem stating that an asymptotically flat,…
Black-hole uniqueness, i.e., the statement that all stationary vacuum black holes in the universe are described by the Kerr solution, is expected to break in theories beyond General Relativity. This breaking can take a particularly strong…
