In this work we focus on a novel completion of the well-known Brans-Dicke theory that introduces an interaction between the dark energy and dark matter sectors, known as complete Brans-Dicke (CBD) theory. We obtain viable cosmological…
It is known that Vilenkin's phenomenological equation of state for static straight cosmic strings is inconsistent with Brans-Dicke theory. We will prove that, in the presence of a cosmological constant, this equation of state is consistent…
We suggest a new formula, which allows the Schwarzschild's solution and the Einstein radius to be applied to the dynamic universe, when our universe is hypothetically regarded as a single dynamic black hole. In this study, a cosmological…
We consider the simplest scenario when black strings / cigars penetrate the cosmological brane. As a result, the brane has a Swiss-cheese structure, with Schwarzschild black holes immersed in a Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker…
We consider Brans-Dicke cosmology with cosmological constant with negative w parameter and an arbitrary (in general non-vanishing) scale factor at the Big Bang. The field equations describe the flat universe, current observational values…
We discuss the no-hair conjecture in the presence of a cosmological constant. For the firststep the real scalar field is considered as the matter field and the spacetime is assumed to be static spherically symmetric. If the scalar field is…
In this article, we investigate the impact of cosmological parameters on black holes using an exact solution to Einstein's equations that satisfies the Whittaker equation of state. We examine a spherically symmetric black hole in the…
The spatially flat and isotropic cosmological model of Brans-Dicke theory with coupling parameter $\omega\neq-3/2$ is quantized by the approach of loop quantum cosmology. An interesting feature of this model is that, although the…
We study the formation of classical singularities in Generalized Brans-Dicke theories that are natural extensions to Brans-Dicke where the kinetic term is modified by a new coupling function $\omega(\varphi)$. We discuss the asymptotic…
Smooth spacetimes possessing a (global) one-parameter group of isometries and an associated Killing horizon in Einstein's theory of gravity are investigated. No assumption concerning the asymptotic structure is made, thereby, the selected…
We consider a class of generalizations of the Skyrme model to five spacetime dimensions ($d=5$), which is defined in terms of an $O(5)$ sigma model. A special ansatz for the Skyrme field allows angular momentum to be present and equations…
Spherically symmetric solutions in Brans-Dicke theory of relativity with zero coupling constant, $\omega=0$, are derived in the Schwarzschild line-element. The solutions are obtained from a cubic transition equation with one small…
The diameter of the apparent horizon, defined by the distance between furthest points on the horizon, in spacetimes with a positive cosmological constant $\varLambda$ has been investigated. It is established that the diameter of the…
We consider static spherically symmetric solutions of a general scalar field theory with non-standard kinetic energy coupled to gravity with a view to explain dark matter halos as a coherent state of the scalar field. Consistent solutions…
A positive cosmological constant $\Lambda >0$ sets an upper limit for the area of marginally future-trapped surfaces enclosing a black hole (BH). Does this mean that the mass of the BH cannot increase beyond the corresponding limit? I…
In full Horndeski theories, we show that the static and spherically symmetric black hole (BH) solutions with a static scalar field~$\phi$ whose kinetic term~$X$ is nonvanishing on the BH horizon are generically prone to ghost/Laplacian…
In some kinds of classical dilaton theory there exist black holes with (i) infinite horizon area $A$ or infinite $F$ (the coefficient at curvature in Lagrangian) and (ii) zero Hawking temperature $T_{H}$. For a generic static black hole,…
We study the existence of stationary black holes with a non-canonical scalar field as a matter source. We prove a simple black hole no-hair theorem which rules out the existence of asymptotically flat black holes which are static or…
In the realm of spacetimes governed by Einstein's general relativity and containing only Maxwell's electromagnetic field, stationary black holes are fully characterized by their mass, electric or magnetic charge, and angular momentum -- a…
We study the geodesic structure and observable properties of asymptotically flat regular black holes sourced by a phantom scalar field characterized by a scalar charge $A$. This parameter removes the central singularity and continuously…
