It has recently been conjectured [A. Ianniccari {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 133}, 081401 (2024)] that there exists a correspondence between the critical threshold of black-hole formation and the stability properties of null circular…
We study the collapse of a massless scalar field coupled to gravity. A class of blackhole solutions are identified. We also report on a class of solutions where collapse starts from a regular spacelike surface but then the collapsing scalar…
We study Einstein gravity minimally coupled to a scalar field in a static, spherically symmetric space-time in four dimensions. Black hole solutions are shown to exist for a phantom scalar field whose kinetic energy is negative. These…
The thermal view of scalar-tensor gravity is an analogy with a dissipative fluid. The scalar degree of freedom excites gravity to a positive ``temperature'', while Einstein gravity is the ``zero-temperature'' equilibrium state. We extend…
We study gravitational collapse for the Starobinsky $R^2$ model, a particular example of an $f(r)$ theory, in a spherically symmetric spacetime. We add a massless scalar field as matter content to the spacetime. We work in the Einstein…
We study the black hole interiors of spacetimes arising from gravitational collapse in the spherically symmetric Einstein-scalar field setting, and we investigate the precise blow-up rates of curvature and mass at the spacelike singularity…
We study the formation of structure in the Universe assuming that dark matter can be described by a scalar field $\tilde{\Phi}$ with a potential $V(\Phi)=-\mathfrak{m}^{2}\tilde{\Phi}^{2}/2+\lambda\tilde{\Phi}^4/4$. We derive the evolution…
We extend an earlier investigation of the thermodynamics of static black holes in an Einstein-Horndeski theory of gravity coupled to a scalar field, by including now an elec- tromagnetic field as well. By studying the two-parameter families…
We present an analytical solution of a massless scalar field collapsing in a three dimensional space-time with a negative cosmological constant, i.e. asymptotically AdS_3. The Einstein and scalar field equations are formulated using double…
In this paper, we find new scalarized black holes by coupling a scalar field with the Gauss-Bonnet invariant in Teleparallel gravity. The Teleparallel formulation of this theory uses torsion instead of curvature to describe the…
We construct time-periodic solutions for a system of self-gravitating massless scalar field, with negative cosmological constant, in d+1 spacetime dimensions at spherical symmetry, both perturbatively and numerically. We estimate the…
It has been known that in the presence of a scalar hair there would be a distinct additional contribution to the first law of black hole thermodynamics. While it has been checked in many examples, a deeper understanding of this issue is…
Einstein's gravity in AdS space coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics is studied. We analyse the metric, mass functions and corrections to the Reissner-Nordstrom solution. Magnetic black holes thermodynamics in extended phase space is…
We revisit scalarized black holes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and analyze the thermodynamic phase transition between the Schwarzschild solution of general relativity and scalarized black holes. Restricting to spherically…
It is generally agreed that black hole formation in gravity corresponds to thermalization in the dual CFT. It is sometimes argued that if the CFT evolution shows evidence of large redshift in gravity, then we have seen black hole formation…
We investigate the decay of a scalar field outside a Schwarzschild anti de Sitter black hole. This is determined by computing the complex frequencies associated with quasinormal modes. There are qualitative differences from the…
We present new analytical self-similar solutions describing a collapse of a massless scalar field in scalar-tensor theories. The solutions exhibit a type of critical behavior. The black hole mass for the near critical evolution is…
We obtain a charged accelerating AdS black hole solution in $f(R)$ gravity and investigate its thermodynamic behaviour. We consider low-acceleration black holes that do not have an acceleration horizon and obtain the first law of…
In cosmological models with a varying gravitational constant, it is not clear whether primordial black holes preserve the value of $G$ at their formation epoch. We investigate this question by using the Tolman-Bondi model to study the…
An extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole can form in finite time in the gravitational collapse of a massless charged scalar field. The proof of this is based on the method of characteristic gluing, which involves making an Ansatz for the…
