A Penrose diagram is constructed for an example black hole that evaporates at a steady rate as measured by a distant observer, until the mass vanishes, yielding a final state Minkowski space-time. Coordinate dependencies of significant…
We present a simple proof of the non-existence of degenerate components of the event horizon in static, vacuum, regular, four-dimensional black hole spacetimes. We discuss the generalisation to higher dimensions and the inclusion of a…
Over the past decade there has been an increasing interest in the study of black holes, and related objects, in higher (and lower) dimensions, motivated to a large extent by developments in string theory. The aim of the present paper is to…
A sigma model formulation for static dilaton black holes with N Abelian gauge fields was presented. We proved uniqueness of static asymptotically flat spacetimes with non-degenerate black holes for the considered theory.
In this work, a four-dimensional cylindrical symmetric and non-static or static space-times in the backgrounds of anti-de Sitter (AdS) space with perfect stiff fluid, anisotropic fluid and electromagnetic field as the stress-energy tensor,…
We study the static black holes in the large $D$ dimensions in the Gauss-Bonnet gravity with a cosmological constant, coupled to the Maxewell theory. After integrating the equation of motion with respect to the radial direction, we obtain…
We show that the static and asymptotically flat black hole spacetime is unique to be Schwarzschild spacetime in the dynamical Chern-Simons gravity. In addition, we show that the strictly static spacetimes should be the Minkowski spacetime.
In multidimensional gravity with an arbitrary number of internal Ricci-flat factor spaces, interacting with electric and magnetic $p$-branes, spherically symmetric configurations are considered. It is shown that all single-brane black-hole…
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,…
The divergence of curvature invariants at a given point signals the impossibility of extending the spacetime to that point, with the derivative order of these diverging invariants determining the differentiability class of the considered…
Black hole spacetimes contain several geometrically distinguished hypersurfaces, including event and Cauchy horizons, stationary-limit surfaces, curvature singularities, and asymptotic infinity. These structures are usually identified by…
The conditions are clarified under which regular (i.e., singularity-free) black holes can exist. It is shown that in a large class of spacetimes that satisfy the weak energy condition the existence of a regular black hole requires topology…
We investigate the geometry of four dimensional black hole solutions in the presence of stringy higher curvature corrections to the low energy effective action. For certain supersymmetric two charge black holes these corrections drastically…
We construct the metric of new multi-black hole configurations on a d-dimensional cylinder R^{d-1} x S^1, in the limit of small total mass (or equivalently in the limit of a large cylinder). These solutions are valid to first order in the…
We investigate black holes formed by static perfect fluid with $p=-\rho/3$. These represent the black holes in $S_3$ and $H_3$ spatial geometries. There are three classes of black-hole solutions, two $S_3$ types and one $H_3$ type. The…
Massless black holes can be understood as bound states of a (positive mass) extreme a=\sqrt{3} black hole and a singular object with opposite (i.e. negative) mass with vanishing ADM (total) mass but non-vanishing gravitational field.…
It has been conjectured that higher-dimensional rotating black holes become unstable at a sufficiently large value of the rotation, and that new black holes with pinched horizons appear at the threshold of the instability. We search…
Dilatations by means of a constant factor can be seen in a double way: as a simple change of units length or as a conformal mapping of the starting spacetime into a ``stretched'' one with the same units length. The numerical value of the…
The dynamics of black hole spacetimes play a crucial role in astrophysics, high energy physics and fundamental physics. In this thesis I have investigated the dynamics of black holes in generic spacetimes by extending established numerical…
We show that the method used in the Schwarzschild black hole for finding the elementary solution of the electrostatic equation in closed form cannot extend in higher dimensions. By contrast, we prove the existence of static, spherically…
