This work studies solutions of the scalar wave equation \[\Box_g\phi=0\] on a fixed subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m spacetime with non-vanishing charge $q$ and mass $M$. In a recent paper, Luk and Oh established that generic smooth and…
We study the interior dynamics of spontaneously scalarized black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar theory with zero cosmological constant, revealing novel critical phenomena. We demonstrate that, for a wide range of scalar-electromagnetic…
We study the gravitational collapse of a self-gravitating charged scalar-field. Starting with a regular spacetime, we follow the evolution through the formation of an apparent horizon, a Cauchy horizon and a final central singularity. We…
We construct a new one-parameter family indexed by $\epsilon$ of two-ended, spatially-homogeneous black hole interiors solving the Einstein-Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations with a (possibly zero) cosmological constant $\Lambda$ and…
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…
It is proved that any static system that is spacetime-geodesically complete at infinity, and whose spacelike-topology outside a compact set is that of R^3 minus a ball, is asymptotically flat. The matter is assumed compactly supported and…
In this paper, we prove the linear stability to gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations of the Reissner-Nordstr\"om family of charged black holes with small charge. Solutions to the linearized Einstein-Maxwell equations around a…
It is widely expected that generic black holes have a non-empty but weakly singular Cauchy horizon, due to mass inflation. Indeed this has been proven by the author in the spherical collapse of a charged scalar field, under decay…
This paper contains the second part of a two-part series on the stability and instability of extreme Reissner-Nordstrom spacetimes for linear scalar perturbations. We continue our study of solutions to the linear wave equation on a suitable…
We describe a non-minimal higher-derivative extension of Einstein-Maxwell theory in which electrically-charged black holes and point charges have globally regular gravitational and electromagnetic fields. We provide an exact static…
Regular and spherically symmetric black holes that solve the singularity problems of the Schwarzschild solution are phenomenologically viable at large distance but usually suffer from the Cauchy horizon instability. To overcome this…
We propose and analyze a new metric that has two conformal factors a(t) and b(t) that combine the expansion of the universe and its effects on the spatial and temporal part of the Schwarzschild metric in isotropic coordinates. We present…
In this paper we analyse the stability of black hole Cauchy horizons arising in a class of 2d dilaton gravity models. It is shown that due to the characteristic asymptotic Rindler form of the metric of these models, time dependent…
Charged and/or rotating black holes in General Relativity feature Cauchy horizons, which indicate a breakdown of predictability in the theory. Focusing on spherically symmetric charged black holes, we remark that the inevitability of…
The effective action of $N=2$, $d=4$ supergravity is shown to acquire no quantum corrections in background metrics admitting super-covariantly constant spinors. In particular, these metrics include the Robinson-Bertotti metric (product of…
A basic extension of the exterior part of the extreme Reissner-Nordstroem solution in terms of a continuous metric and gauge potential is constructed. This extension is not smooth at the null hypersurface given by the Cauchy-Killing horizon…
A class of nonstationary spacetimes is obtained by means of a conformal transformation of the Schwarzschild metric, where the conformal factor $a(t)$ is an arbitrary function of the time coordinate only. We investigate several situations…
We obtain and study static, spherically symmetric solutions for the Einstein - generalized Maxwell field system in 2n dimensions, with possible inclusion of a massless scalar field. The generalization preserves the conformal invariance of…
Ever since Penrose and Simpson contradicted Novikov's prediction that an infalling passenger would emerge into an asymptotically flat universe, there have been a continued interest in predicting the nature of singularity at the Cauchy…
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…
