This paper is the second part of a trilogy dedicated to the following problem: given spherically symmetric characteristic initial data for the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar field system with a cosmological constant $\Lambda$, with the data on the…
In this paper two things are done. First, it is pointed out the existence of exact asymptotically flat, spherically symmetric black holes when a self interacting, minimally coupled scalar field is the source of the energy momentum of the…
In this paper we describe a model of a four-dimensional spherically symmetric black hole in a limiting curvature theory of gravity. In this theory the Einstein-Hilbert action is modified by adding to the action terms providing inequality…
The initial value problem is well-defined on a class of spacetimes broader than the globally hyperbolic geometries for which existence and uniqueness theorems are traditionally proved. Simple examples are the time-nonorientable spacetimes…
Spacetime singularities pose a long-standing puzzle in quantum gravity. Unlike Schwarzschild, a generic family of black holes gives rise to a Cauchy horizon on which, even in the Hartle-Hawking state, quantum observables such as $\langle…
We give an elementary new argument for global existence and exponential decay of solutions of quasilinear wave equations on Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole backgrounds, for appropriately small initial data. The core of the argument is…
In this paper we study the spacelike-characteristic Cauchy problem for the Einstein vacuum equations. We prove that given initial data on a maximal compact spacelike hypersurface $\Sigma \simeq \overline{B(0,1)} \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ and…
A spherical dust cloud which is initially at rest and which has a monotonously decaying density profile collapses and forms a shell-focussing singularity. Provided the density profile is not too flat, meaning that its second radial…
We consider the strategy of realizing the solution of a Cauchy problem with radial data as a limit of radial solutions to initial-boundary value problems posed on the exterior of vanishing balls centered at the origin. The goal is to gauge…
There are a number of publications on relativistic objects dealing either with black holes or naked singularities in the center. Here we show that there exist static spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein equations with a strongly…
It has been shown in [Yang-Yu 2019] that general large solutions to the Cauchy problem for the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system (MKG) in the Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}$ decay like linear solutions. One hence can define the associated…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the weakly dissipative wave equation $$ \square u+\frac\mu{1+t} u_t=0 $$ with parameter $\mu\ge2$. Based on the explicit representations of solutions provided in [Math. Meth. Appl. Sci. 2004; {\bf…
We consider a unique continuation problem for the wave equation given data in a volumetric subset of the space time domain. In the absence of data on the lateral boundary of the space-time cylinder we prove that the solution can be…
We prove that sufficiently regular solutions to the wave equation $\Box_g\phi=0$ on the exterior of the Schwarzschild black hole obey the estimates $|\phi|\leq C_\delta v_+^{-{3/2}+\delta}$ and $|\partial_t\phi|\leq C_{\delta}…
In this paper we prove the global existence and uniqueness of the low regularity solutions to the Cauchy problem of quasi-linear wave equations with radial symmetric initial data in three space dimensions. The results are based on the…
We show the existence of complete, asymptotically flat Cauchy initial data for the vacuum Einstein field equations, free of trapped surfaces, whose future development must admit a trapped surface. Moreover, the datum is exactly a constant…
The Cauchy problem for a nonlinear elastic wave equations with viscoelastic damping terms is considered on the 3 dimensional whole space. Decay and smoothing properties of the solutions are investigated when the initial data are…
We show that the Wald Noether charge entropy is canonically conjugate to the opening angle at the horizon. Using this canonical relation we extend the Wheeler-DeWitt equation to a Schroedinger equation in the opening angle, following Carlip…
We study static, spherically symmetric vacuum solutions to Quadratic Gravity, extending considerably our previous Rapid Communication [Phys. Rev. D 98, 021502(R) (2018)] on this topic. Using a conformal-to-Kundt metric ansatz, we arrive at…
We consider solutions to the linear wave equation on a (maximally extended) Schwarzschild spacetime, assuming only that the solution decays suitably at spatial infinity on a complete Cauchy hypersurface. (In particular, we allow the support…
