We find that the model of a black hole plus an exterior halo of quadrupoles and octopoles recently proposed by us is more chaotic than previously detected. In fact, the quadrupolar component gives rise also to a chaotic behavior, found…
We revisit the old black hole S-Matrix construction and its new partial wave expansion of 't Hooft. Inspired by old ideas from non-critical string theory & $c=1$ Matrix Quantum Mechanics, we reformulate the scattering in terms of a quantum…

The approach of 't Hooft to the puzzles of black hole evaporation can be applied to a simpler system with analogous features. The system is $1+1$ dimensional electrodynamics in a linear dilaton background. Analogues of black holes, Hawking…
It is shown that the scattering of a charged test particle by a system of four extreme Reissner-Nordtr\"om black holes is chaotic in some cases. The fractal structure of the scattering angle and time delay functions is another manifestation…
A solution of the Einstein's equations that represents the superposition of a Schwarszchild black hole with both quadrupolar and octopolar terms describing a halo is exhibited. We show that this solution, in the Newtonian limit, is an…

Cosmic black holes can act as agents of particle acceleration. We study properties of a system consisting of a rotating black hole immersed in a large-scale organized magnetic field. Electrically charged particles in the immediate…
The occurrence of chaos for test particles moving around a slowly rotating black hole with a dipolar halo is studied using Poincar\'e sections. We find a novel effect, particles with angular momentum opposite to the black hole rotation have…
We investigate chaotic dynamics in tree-level S-matrices describing the scattering of tachyons, photons and gravitons on highly excited open and closed bosonic strings, motivated by the string/black hole complementarity. The eigenphase…
The S-matrix Ansatz has been proposed by 't Hooft to overcome difficulties and apparent contradictions of standard quantum field theory close to the black hole horizon. In this paper we revisit and explore some of its aspects. We start by…
It is known that certain types of particle motion near black hole horizons are chaotic while it has been proposed the existence of a universal bound for their Lyapunov exponent. We discuss the relation between chaos and inaffinity in…
We propose an S matrix approach to the quantum black hole in which causality, unitarity and their interrelation play a prominent role. Assuming the 't Hooft S matrix ansatz for a gravitating region surrounded by an asymptotically flat…
In the Schwarzchild black hole spacetime, we show that chaotic motion can be triggered by the spin of a particle. Taking the spin of the particle as a perturbation and using the Melnikov method, we find that the perturbed stable and…
We show how the horizon geometry and entropy of a Semiclassical Black Hole can be reconstructed from a system of $N>>1$ horizonless conic singularities with average opening angle at the horizon $\langle \Theta \rangle=2\pi$. This conclusion…
We describe a unitary scattering process, as observed from spatial infinity, of massless scalar particles on an asymptotically flat Schwarzschild black hole background. In order to do so, we split the problem in two different regimes…
Chaotic motion near black holes has recently been examined through the lens of the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford (MSS) chaos-bound, but reported violations remain contradictory. A significant source of ambiguity stems from treating the…
Recently, 't Hooft's S-matrix for black hole evaporation, obtained from the gravitational interactions between the in-falling particles and Hawking radiation, has been generalised to include transverse effects. The action describing the…
We analyze the orbital dynamics of spherical test bodies in ``black hole surrounded by dark matter halo'' spherically symmetric spacetimes. When the test body pulsates periodically (such as a variable star), altering its quadrupole tensor,…
