We present a simple scenario where the formation of galactic bulges was regulated by the dark halo gravity and regulated the growth of the central supermassive black hole. Assuming the angular momentum is low, we suggest that bulges form in…
We study dynamical gravitational collapse in a theory with an infinite tower of higher-derivative corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action and we show that, under very general conditions, it leads to the formation of regular black holes.…
We study the evolution of cosmological perturbations in a contracting universe. We aim to determine under which conditions density perturbations grow to form large inhomogeneities and collapse into black holes. Our method consists in…
When a shell collapses through its horizon, semiclassical physics suggests that information cannot escape from this horizon. One might hope that nonperturbative quantum gravity effects will change this situation and avoid the `information…
The formation of cosmological black holes is investigated using the functional Schroedinger equation as observed by an asymptotic observer, assuming a spherical domain wall collapse process. The mass formula of the Sultana-Dyer black hole…
We explore the formation process of a black hole (BH) through the pair-instability collapse of a rotating Population III very massive star in axisymmetric numerical relativity. As the initial condition, we employ a progenitor star which is…
Determining the conditions under which a black hole can be produced is a long-standing and fundamental problem in general relativity. We use numerical simulations of colliding selfgravitating fluid objects to study the conditions of…
We suggest that high-mass black holes; i.e., black holes of several solar masses, can be formed in binaries with low-mass main-sequence companions, provided that the hydrogen envelope of the massive star is removed in common envelope…
We discuss various mechanisms of catalysis of black holes/wormholes (BH/WH) formation in particles collisions. The current paradigm suggests that BH/WH formation in particles collisions will happen when center of mass energies of colliding…
One of the key open questions in cosmology today pertains to understanding when, where and how super massive black holes form, while it is clear that mergers likely play a significant role in the growth cycles of black holes, how…
It is shown that there exists a range of parameters in which gravitational collapse with a spherically symmetric massive scalar field can be treated as if it were collapsing dust. This implies a criterion for the formation of black holes…
According to a variant of the hoop conjecture, if we localize two particles within the Schwarzschild radius corresponding to their center of mass energy, then a black hole will form. Despite a large body of work on the formation of…
It has been well known that in the point of view of a distant observer, all in-falling matter to a black hole (BH) will be eventually stalled and "frozen" just outside the event horizon of the BH, although an in-falling observer will see…
We find all the classical solutions (minimal surfaces) of open or closed strings in {\it any} two dimensional curved spacetime. As examples we consider the SL(2,R)/R two dimensional black hole, and any 4D black hole in the Schwarzschild…
Black holes can be produced in collapse of small-scale dark matter structures, which can happen at any time from the early to present-day universe. Microstructure black holes (MSBHs) can have a wide range of masses. Small MSBHs evaporate…
The discoveries of LIGO/Virgo black holes in recent years have revitalized the study of primordial black holes. In this work, we investigate a mechanism where primordial black holes are formed by vacuum bubbles that randomly nucleate during…
The dynamics of the gravitational collapse is examined in the realm of string based formalism of D-branes that encompass General Relativity as a low energy limit. A complete analytical solution is given to the spherically symmetric collapse…
We present a self-similar model of spherically symmetric collapse of a massless scalar field with a parameter $p$. The black hole formation is explicitly shown to occur only in the strong-field implosion of $p >1$. The field evolution in…
In the presence of a Weyl scaling invariant cosmological action, black holes no longer have an event horizon and an apparent horizon. So they have no trapped surfaces, and may be "leaky", emitting a "black hole wind" which could lead to…
The critical formation of low-mass black holes is a historical cornerstone of numerical General Relativity, with important implications in cosmology for censorship conjectures and the production of primordial black holes (PBHs). Concurrent…
