In Kelly et al. [Phys. Rev. D, 76:024008, 2007], we presented new binary black-hole initial data adapted to puncture evolutions in numerical relativity. This data satisfies the constraint equations to 2.5 post-Newtonian order, and contains…

We review in a pedagogical fashion the 3+1-split which serves to put Einstein's equations into the form of a dynamical system with constraints. We then discuss the constraint equations under the simplifying assumption of time-symmetry.…

We present a new approach for setting initial Cauchy data for multiple black hole spacetimes. The method is based upon adopting an initially Kerr-Schild form of the metric. In the case of non-spinning holes, the constraint equations take a…

Recent rigorous results on black hole interiors clearly suggest that the strong cosmic censorship conjecture fails in its most fundamental, i.e. weak, formulation: violations are expected for a class of spherically symmetric charged black…

We study the spacelike Kasner singularity of spherically-symmetric, static and asymptotically flat black holes in Einstein gravity minimally coupled to a massless scalar with a suitable self-interacting scalar potential. We focus on how the…

This is the second and last paper of a two-part series in which we prove the $C^2$-formulation of the strong cosmic censorship conjecture for the Einstein-Maxwell-(real)-scalar-field system in spherical symmetry for two-ended asymptotically…

We consider several different classes of asymptotically flat, rotating black objects in d = 5 Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) theory. These are first the black holes with two equal-magnitude angular momenta, in which case extremal…

Recently a purportedly novel solution of the vacuum Einstein field equations was discovered: it supposedly describes an asymptotically flat twisted black hole in 4-dimensions whose exterior spacetime rotates in a peculiar manner -- the…

The entropy of anti-de Sitter Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is found to be stored in the material which gathers to form it and equals to $A/4$ regardless of material states. Extending the study to two kinds of extreme black holes, we find…

The Einstein's equations with a negative cosmological constant admit solutions which are asymptotically anti-de Sitter space. Matter fields in anti-de Sitter space can be in stable equilibrium even if the potential energy is unbounded from…

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…

We revisit the construction of maximal initial data on compact manifolds in vacuum with positive cosmological constant via the conformal method. We discuss, extend and apply recent results of Hebey et al. [19] and Premoselli [31] which…

We find new classes of exact solutions of the initial momentum constraint for vacuum Einstein's equations. Considered data are either invariant under a continuous symmetry or they are assumed to have the exterior curvature tensor of a…

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…

Modeling the collapse of an extreme Reissner-Nordstr\"om (ERN) black hole by solving the corresponding moving mirror model for the trajectory that asymptotically approaches uniform acceleration, we obtain the non-zero beta coefficients for…

It was pointed out by Couch and Torrence that the extreme Reissner-Nordstrom solution possesses a discrete conformal isometry. Using results of Romans, it is shown that such a symmetry also exists when a non-zero cosmological constant is…

The goal of this article is to parametrise solutions to Einstein's equations with big bang singularities and quiescent asymptotics. To this end, we introduce a notion of initial data on big bang singularities and conjecture that it can be…
