It is expected that black holes are formed dynamically under the gravitational collapses and approach to the stationary states. In this paper, we show that the asymptotic Killing vector at late time should exist on the horizon and then that…
In this article, we extend the numerical studies developed in [arXiv:2210.12898] to construct periodic stationary axisymmetric solutions containing multiple horizons in each fundamental domain. As a direct application, we consider periodic…
Given a stationary axisymmetric black hole horizon admitting a section characterised as a strictly future stable marginally outer trapped surface, we extend the equivalence between the notions of horizon degeneracy and marginal stability to…
The spectrum of known black-hole solutions to the stationary Einstein equations has been steadily increasing, sometimes in unexpected ways. In particular, it has turned out that not all black-hole-equilibrium configurations are…
Any spacetime containing a degenerate Killing horizon, such as an extremal black hole, possesses a well-defined notion of a near-horizon geometry. We review such near-horizon geometry solutions in a variety of dimensions and theories in a…
We show that rotating dyonic black holes with static and counterrotating horizon exist in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory when the dilaton coupling constant exceeds the Kaluza-Klein value. The black holes with static horizon bifurcate from…
We derive formulas for variations of mass, angular momentum and canonical energy in Einstein (n-2)-gauge form field theory by means of the ADM formalism. Considering the initial data for the manifold with an interior boundary which has the…
It has often been suggested (especially by Carlip) that spacetime symmetries in the neighborhood of a black hole horizon may be relevant to a statistical understanding of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. A prime candidate for this type of…
We present arguments for the existence of charged, rotating black holes with equal-magnitude angular momenta in an odd number of dimensions $D\geq 5$. These solutions posses a regular horizon of spherical topology and approach…
Axially symmetric, stationary solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with disconnected event horizon are studied by developing a method of explicit integration of the corresponding boundary-value problem. This problem is reduced to…
For a stationary and axisymmetric black hole, there is a natural way to split the fields into a probe sector and a background sector. The equations of motion for the probe sector enjoy a significantly enhanced symmetry on the black hole…
We show that the general charged, rotating black hole in five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory has a singular extremal limit. Only the known analytic solutions with exactly zero charge or zero angular momenta have smooth extremal…
The uniqueness theorem for static charged higher dimensional black hole containing an asymptotically flat spacelike hypersurface with compact interior and with both degenerate and non-degenerate components of event horizon is proposed. By…
Einstein's equations imply that a gravitationally collapsed object forms an event horizon. But what lies on the other side of this horizon? In this paper, we question the reality of the conventional solution (the black hole), and point out…
We prove a uniqueness theorem for the charged Nariai black holes and ultracold black holes in four dimensions. In particular, we show that an analytic solution to four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with a positive cosmological…
Using the blackfold effective theory applied to extremal Kerr branes we provide evidence for the existence of new stationary extremal black hole solutions in asymptotically flat spacetime with both single and multiple disconnected horizons.…
We investigate the symmetries of the near horizon geometry of extremal stationary black holes in four dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to abelian gauge fields and neutral scalars. Careful consideration of the equations of motion and the…
We prove that non-extremal black holes in four-dimensional general relativity exhibit an infinite-dimensional symmetry in their near horizon region. By prescribing a physically sensible set of boundary conditions at the horizon, we derive…
We prove that in Einstein-Maxwell theory the inequality $(8\pi J)^2+(4\pi Q^2)^2 < A^2$ holds for any sub-extremal axisymmetric and stationary black hole with arbitrary surrounding matter. Here $J, Q$, and $A$ are angular momentum, electric…
We introduce the concept of a geometric horizon, which is a surface distinguished by the vanishing of certain curvature invariants which characterize its special algebraic character. We motivate its use for the detection of the event…
