It has been conjectured that higher-dimensional rotating black holes become unstable at a sufficiently large value of the rotation, and that new black holes with pinched horizons appear at the threshold of the instability. We search…
We uplift the static three dimensional black hole solution found by Banados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ) into four dimensional space time. In this way we obtain a black string solution with a relativistic string source, as well as a new…

We study charged black hole solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-Gauss-Bonnet theory with the dilaton field which is the low-energy effective theory of the heterotic string. The spacetime is $D$-dimensional and assumed to be static and plane…
Linear perturbations for a one parameter family of stationary, closed Nambu-Goto strings winding around a flat torus in the five-dimensional Schwarzschild spacetime have been studied. It has been shown that this problem is solvable in the…
We investigate some aspects of the $(2+1)$-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet black hole proposed in [1][2]. The perturbations of scalar and massless spinorial fields are studied suggesting the dynamical stability of the geometry. The field evolution…
Certain black branes are unstable toward fluctuations that lead to non-uniform mass distributions. We study static, non-uniform solutions that differ only perturbatively from uniform ones. For uncharged black strings in five dimensions, we…

String theory on $AdS_3$ has a solvable single-trace irrelevant deformation that is closely related to $T\bar T$. For one sign of the coupling, it leads to an asymptotically linear dilaton spacetime, and a corresponding Hagedorn spectrum.…
We consider a cylindrically symmetric solution for the field equations of Einstein-Hilbert action with a negative cosmological constant in four dimensions. The small statistical fluctuation in the equilibrium thermodynamics of the black…
We find the Gregory-Laflamme $s$-mode instability of the non-rotating BTZ black hole in new massive gravity. This instability shows that the BTZ black hole could not exist as a stable static solution to the new massive gravity. For…
The Beckenstein-Hawking black hole entropy in string theory and its extensions, as expressed in terms of charges that correspond to central extensions of the supersymmetry algebra, has more symmetries than U-duality. It is invariant under…
We find exact solutions of the Einstein equations which describe a black hole pierced by infinitely thin cosmic strings. The string segments enter the black hole along the radii and their positions coincide with the symmetry axes of a…
We study charged scalar perturbations of charged extremal black holes in Einstein-Born-Infeld theory. Our numerical results indicate that these black holes all suffer from superradiant instability by the unstable quasi-bound states,…
In the presence of compact dimensions massive solutions of General Relativity may take one of several forms including the black-hole and the black-string, the simplest relevant background being R^{3+1} * S^1. It is shown how Morse theory…
We describe the behavior of 5-dimensional black strings, subject to the Gregory-Laflamme instability. Beyond the linear level, the evolving strings exhibit a rich dynamics, where at intermediate stages the horizon can be described as a…
Using perturbative expansion in terms of powers of the rotation parameter $a$ we construct the axisymmetric and asymptotically flat black-hole metric in the $D$-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory. In five-dimensional spacetime we find…
The addition of a Ricci coupling to Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theories makes general relativity a cosmological attractor. Previous work considered a quadratic coupling function with two independent coupling constants in such theories and…
We discuss black holes in an effective theory derived from a superstring model, which includes a dilaton field, a gauge field and the Gauss-Bonnet term. Assuming U(1) or SU(2) symmetry for the gauge field, we find four types of spherically…
Recently, it was suggested that the system of smeared black branes might provide a counter example to the Gubser-Mitra conjecture. Concerning to this issue, we have investigated the s-wave perturbation analysis to see how the stability of…
