This paper studies cross-sections inside black holes and conjectures a universal inequality: in a static $(d+1)$-dimensional asymptotically planar/spherical Schwarzschild-AdS spacetime of given energy $E$ and AdS radius $\ell_{\text{AdS}}$,…
We propose a new notion of singularity in General Relativity which complements the usual notions of geodesic incompleteness and curvature singularities. Concretely, we say that a spacetime has a volume singularity if there exist points…

We study charged particle motion in weakly charged higher dimensional black holes. To describe the electromagnetic field we use a test field approximation and use the higher dimensional Kerr-NUT-(A)dS metric as a background geometry. It is…
This thesis presents recent studies on test scalar and vector fields around black holes. It is separated in two parts according to the asymptotic properties of the spacetime under study. In the first part, we investigate scalar and Proca…
In numerically constructing a spacetime that has an approximate timelike Killing vector, it is useful to choose spacetime coordinates adapted to the symmetry, so that the metric and matter variables vary only slowly with time in these…
We investigate spontaneous vectorization in the Einstein-Maxwell-Vector (EMV) model, introducing a novel mechanism driven by the interplay between electromagnetic and vector fields. A key innovation in our work is the resolution of an…
We show that if $\mathcal{E}$ is a subset of the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbbm{F}_q$ ($d \geq 3$) of cardinality $|\mathcal{E}| \geq (d-1)q^{d - 1}$, then the set of volumes of $d$-dimensional parallelepipeds…
We continue to explore the scaling transformation in the reduced action formalism of gravity models. As an extension of our construction, we consider the extended forms of the Smarr relation for various black holes, adopting the…
In four dimensional general relativity, the fact that a Killing vector in a vacuum spacetime serves as a vector potential for a test Maxwell field provides one with an elegant way of describing the behaviour of electromagnetic fields near a…
We consider the C-metric as a gravitational field configuration that describes an accelerating black hole in the presence of a semi-infinite cosmic string, along the accelerating direction. We adopt the expression for the gravitational…
We demonstrate the separability of the massive vector (Proca) field equation in general Kerr-NUT-(A)dS black hole spacetimes in any number of dimensions, filling a long-standing gap in the literature. The obtained separated equations are…
This work is an extensive literature review focusing on a few of the important topics in the large-scale structure of spacetime. The work is a Bachelor's thesis submitted at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Leipzig. The…
We consider three fundamental issues in quantum gravity: (a) the black hole information paradox (b) the unboundedness of entropy that can be stored inside a black hole horizon (c) the relation between the black hole horizon and the…
As an example of a black hole in a non-flat background a composite static spacetime is constructed. It comprises a vacuum Schwarzschild spacetime for the interior of the black hole across whose horizon it is matched on to the spacetime of…
We prove several inequalities estimating the distance between volumes of two bodies in terms of the maximal or minimal difference between areas of sections or projections of these bodies. We also provide extensions in which volume is…
The spacetime geometry on the equatorial slice through a Kerr black hole is formally equivalent to the geometry felt by phonons entrained in a rotating fluid vortex. We analyse this situation in some detail: First, we find the most general…
Recent results of arXiv:1907.08788 on universal black holes in $d$ dimensions are summarized. These are static metrics with an isotropy-irreducible homogeneous base space which can be consistently employed to construct solutions to…
We define the notion of a finite-time singularity of a vector field and then discuss a technique suitable for the asymptotic analysis of vector fields and their integral curves in the neighborhood of such a singularity. Having in mind the…
We analyze momentum dependent vector modes in the context of gauge theories dual to R-charged black holes in $D=4$, $5$ and $7$. For a variety of examples, the master variables are constructed, for which the linearized equations for the…
