It has recently been demonstrated that certain types of non-tensional stress-energy can live on tensional codimension-2 branes, including gravitational shockwaves and small Schwarzschild black holes. In this note we generalize the earlier…
It has recently been argued that codimension-two braneworlds offer a promising line of attack on the cosmological constant problem, since in such models the Hubble rate is not directly related to the brane tension. We point out challenges…
We derive the black hole solutions with horizons of non-trivial topology and investigate their properties in the framework of an approach to quantum gravity being an extension of Bohm's formulation of quantum mechanics. The solutions we…
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…
In this paper we discuss two aspects of duality transformations on the Neveu-Schwarz (NS) 5-brane solutions in type II and heterotic string theories. First we demonstrate that the non-extremal NS 5-brane background is U-dual to its CGHS…
A multidimensional gravitational model containing scalar fields and antisymmetric forms is considered. The manifold is chosen in the form M = M_0 x M_1 x ... x M_n, where M_i are Einstein spaces (i > 0). The sigma-model approach and exact…
We present the first non-BPS exact solution of an asymptotically flat, stationary spherical black hole having domain of outer communication with nontrivial topology in five-dimensional minimal supergravity. It describes a charged rotating…
Braneworlds inside an AdS black hole provide simple models where a closed cosmology can be encoded in a dual field theory. Previous studies have focused on pure-tension branes, where the only matter in the cosmology is that dual to the…
Many black hole solutions of General Relativity are known to be linearly exact. This opens a way to study them in gauge theories that apart from gravity contain fields of higher spin $s>2$. Starting with a black brane in $AdS_4$ we find its…
We propose a novel infinite-volume brane world scenario where we live on a non-inflating spherical 3-brane, whose radius is somewhat larger than the present Hubble size, embedded in higher dimensional bulk. Once we include higher curvature…
We present an asymptotically flat and stationary multi-black lens solution with bi-axisymmetry of $U(1)\times U(1)$ as a supersymmetric solution in the five-dimensional minimal ungauged supergravity. We show that the spatial cross section…
In the context of this thesis, the question that is going to occupy us, is the existence of a 5-dimensional braneworld black hole solution that is localized close to the 3-brane and has the properties of a regular 4-dimensional one. For…
We determine all asymptotically flat, supersymmetric and biaxisymmetric soliton and black hole solutions to five dimensional minimal supergravity. In particular, we show that the solution must be a multi-centred solution with a…
We consider a scalar thick brane configuration arising in a 5D theory of gravity coupled to a self-interacting scalar field in a Riemannian manifold. We start from known classical solutions of the corresponding field equations and elaborate…
We show that the four-dimensional extreme dilaton black hole with dilaton coupling constant $a= \sqrt{p/(p+2)}$ can be interpreted as a {\it completely non-singular}, non-dilatonic, black $p$-brane in $(4+p)$ dimensions provided that $p$ is…
A black hole solution in a teleparallel theory of (2+1)-dimensional gravity, given in a previous paper, is examined. This solution is also a solution of the three-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation with a vanishing cosmological constant.…
In this article we summarise the brane solutions (instantons, black holes and strings) in 4 dimensions when embedded in N=2 supergravity. Like in 10 dimensions these solutions are related by duality transformations (T-duality, c-map). For…
We extend our recent discussion of four-dimensional black holes bound to a two-brane to include a negative cosmological constant on the brane. We find that for large masses, the solutions are precisely BTZ black holes on the brane, and BTZ…
In this talk I address some aspects in the recent developments for N=2 black holes in 4 dimensions. I restrict myself on axion-free solutions that can classically be related to intersections of isotropic $D$- or $M$-branes. After reviewing…
The explicit coordinate transformations which show the equivalence between a four-dimensional spatially flat cosmology and an appropriate submanifold in the flat five-dimensional Minkowski space-time are presented. Analogous procedure is…
