I present exact results matching Kerr-Newman Black Hole thermodynamics in the extremal limit to the two-dimensional Fermi Gas. Two dimensions are consistent with the membrane paradigm of black holes. Key in the analysis is the thermodynamic…
In the standard methodology for evaluating the Hawking radiation emanating from a black hole, the background geometry is fixed. Trying to be more realistic we consider a dynamical geometry for a two-dimensional charged black hole and we…
We study about an approximation method of the Hawking radiation. We analyze an massless scalar field in exotic black hole backgrounds models which have peculiar properties in black hole thermodynamics (monopole black hole in SO(3)…
We study the low frequency absorption cross section of spherically symmetric nonextremal d-dimensional black holes. In the presence of alpha' corrections, this quantity must have an explicit dependence on the Hawking temperature of the form…
We give a rather general recipe for constructing nonextremal black hole solutions to N=2, D=4 gauged supergravity coupled to abelian vector multiplets. This problem simplifies considerably if one uses the formalism developed in…
We consider particle collisions in the background of a nonextremal black hole. Two particles fall from infinity, particle 1 is fine-tuned (critical), collision occurs in its turning point. The first example is the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m…
A quasi-black hole, either non-extremal or extremal, can be broadly defined as the limiting configuration of a body when its boundary approaches the body's quasihorizon. We consider the mass contributions and the mass formula for a static…
Using a unified approach we study the entropy of extremal black holes through the entropy of an electrically charged thin shell. We encounter three cases in which a shell can be taken to its own gravitational or horizon radius and become an…
We consider Reissner-Nordstrom solutions in quasi-topological gravity, obtaining exact solutions to the field equations yielding charged quasi-topological black holes. We study their thermodynamic behaviour over a range of parameters that…
Using the blackfold effective theory applied to extremal Kerr branes we provide evidence for the existence of new stationary extremal black hole solutions in asymptotically flat spacetime with both single and multiple disconnected horizons.…
We show that extremal Kerr black holes are sensitive probes of new physics. Stringy or quantum corrections to general relativity are expected to generate higher-curvature terms in the gravitational action. We show that in the presence of…
We present detailed calculations of the quasinormal modes of Reissner-Nordstrom black holes. While the first few, slowly damped, modes depend on the charge of the black hole in a relatively simple way, we find that the rapidly damped modes…
Analytical solutions to force-free electrodynamics around black holes are fundamental for building simple models of accretion disk and jet dynamics. We present a (nonexhaustive) classification of complex highest-weight solutions to the…
It has been widely believed that the Hawking temperature for a black hole is $uniquely$ determined by its metric and $positive$. But, I find that this does ``not'' seem to be true in the recently discovered black holes which include the…
The near extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in arbitrary dimensions ca be modeled by the Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) theory. The asymptotic Virasoro symmetry of the corresponding JT model exactly reproduces, via Cardy's formula, the…
A maximally rotating Kerr black hole is said to be extremal. In this paper we introduce the corresponding restrictions for isolated and dynamical horizons. These reduce to the standard notions for Kerr but in general do not require the…
Near extreme black holes can lose their charge and decay by the emission of massive BPS charged particles. We calculate the greybody factors for low energy charged and neutral scalar emission from four and five dimensional near extremal…
A model of nonlinear electrodynamics with two parameters, coupled with general relativity, is investigated. We study the magnetized black hole and obtain solutions. The asymptotic of the metric and mass functions at $r\rightarrow\infty$ and…
We solve numerically equations of motion for real self-interacting scalar fields in the background of Reissner-Nordstrom black hole and obtained a sequence of static axisymmetric solutions representing thick domain walls charged black hole…
We derive the precise late-time asymptotics for solutions to the wave equation on extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes and explicitly express the leading-order coefficients in terms of the initial data. Our method is based on purely…
