Recently E. E. Donets, D. V. Galtsov, and the author reported the results of numerical and analytical investigation of the SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills black hole interior solutions (gr-qc/9612067). It was shown that a generic interior…
Quantum Gravity is expected to resolve the singularities of classical General Relativity. Based on destructive interference of singular spacetime-configurations in the path integral, we find that higher-order curvature terms may allow to…
I give a brief review of the Gregory-Laflamme instability as originally found for a 5-dimensional black string. This is a chapter of the book "Black Holes in Higher Dimensions" to be published by Cambridge University Press (editor: G.…
Generally the Brans-Dicke theory reduces to General Relativity in the limit $\omega\rightarrow\infty$ if the scalar field goes as $\phi\propto1/\omega$. However, it is also known that there are examples with $\phi\propto1/\sqrt{\omega}$…
We show that the mimetic theory with the constraint $g^{\rho \sigma}\partial_\rho\phi \partial_\sigma\phi=1$ cannot realize the black hole geometry with the horizon(s). To overcome such issue, we may change the mimetic constraint a little…
A uniformly continuously integrable sequence of real-valued measurable functions, defined on some probability space, is relatively compact in the $\sigma(L^1,L^\infty)$ topology. In this paper, we link such a result to weak convergence…
We analyze the near horizon conformal symmetry for black hole solutions in gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field using the method proposed by Majhi and Padmanabhan recently. It is shown that the entropy of the black holes of the…
The results and calculations of the article \cite{SY} is found erroneous for a generic $r$ and it remains irremediable in general. However for $r=0$, $r=\pm 1$, and $r >> 1$ it may be physically acceptable.
Certain exact solutions of the Einstein field equations over nonsimply-connected manifolds are reviewed. These solutions are spherically symmetric and have no curvature singularity. They provide a regularization of the standard…
A 5-parametric exact solution, describing a binary system composed of identical counter-rotating black holes endowed with opposite electromagnetic charges, is constructed. The addition of the angular momentum parameter to the static…
We show that the physical conditions which induce the Thakurta metric, recently studied by B{\oe}hm {\it et al.} in the context of time-dependent black hole masses, correspond to a single accreting black hole in the entire Universe filled…
We present a detailed study of the static spherically symmetric solutions in de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) theory. Since the diffeomorphism invariance can be restored by introducing the St\"{u}ckelberg fields $\phi^a$, there is new…
In this brief note we argue that a dyonic generalization of the Emparan-Teo dihole solution is described by a static diagonal metric and therefore, contrary to the claim made in a recent paper by Cabrera-Munguia et al., does not involve any…
We present black hole mass--bulge velocity dispersion relation for a complete sample of 75 soft X-ray selected AGNs: 43 broad line Seyfert 1s and 32 narrow line Seyfert 1s. We use luminosity and FWHM(H-beta) as surrogates for black hole…
Existence check of non-trivial, stationary axisymmetric black hole solutions in Brans-Dicke theory of gravity in different direction from those of Penrose, Thorne and Dykla, and Hawking is performed. Namely, working directly with the known…
We investigate the black holes in the new massive conformal gravity which is not invariant under conformal transformations because of the presence of the Einstein-Hilbert term. First, we show that the small Schwarzschild black hole is…
A straightforward generalization of the celebrated uniqueness theorem to dimensions greater than four was recently found to fail in two pure gravity cases - the 5d rotating black ring and the black string on R^{3,1} * S^1. Two amendments…
An attempt is made in order to clarify the so called regular black holes issue. It is revisited that if one works within General Relativity minimally coupled with non linear source, mainly of electromagnetic origin, and within a static…
Black hole masses are tightly correlated with the stellar velocity dispersions of the bulges which surround them, and slightly less-well correlated with the bulge luminosity. It is common to use these correlations to estimate the expected…
Regular and black-hole solutions of the spontaneously broken Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with nonminimal coupling to gravity are shown to exist. The main characteristics of the solutions are presented and differences with respect to…
