We study the evolution of horizons of black holes in the $1+1+2$ covariant setting and investigate various properties intrinsic to the geometry of the foliation surfaces of these horizons. This is done by interpreting formulations of…
A dynamically transversely trapping surface (DTTS) is a new concept of an extension of a photon sphere that appropriately represents a strong gravity region and has close analogy with a trapped surface. We study formation of a marginally…
We explore in detail the 2+2 and 1+1+2 formalism in spherically symmetric spacetimes, spanning from deducing the dynamical equations to relating them to the well-known generalised Painlev\'e-Gullstrand (GPG) coordinate system. The evolution…
This paper is about the $n+2$-dimensional gravitational contraction of inhomogeneous fluid without heat flux in the framework of $f(R)$ metric theory of gravity. Matching conditions for two regions of a star has been derived by using the…
In the present work we examine the MTS, for the restriction to spherical dust plus $\Lambda$, proving that it actually is a characteristic surface of the Cauchy problem (generated by its characteristic curves), which opens the possibility…
We point out that although the pioneering work of Oppenheimer and Snyder (OS), technically, indicated the formation of an event horizon for a collapsing homogeneous dust ball of mass $M_b$ and radius $R_b$, the Eqs. (32) and (36) of their…
The appearance of eruptive space plasma processes, e.g., in eruptive flares as observed in the solar atmosphere, is usually assumed to be caused by magnetic reconnection. The process of magnetic reconnection is often connected with singular…
We develop a flux-conservative formalism for a Newtonian multi-fluid system, including dissipation and entrainment (i.e. allowing the momentum of one fluid to be a linear combination of the velocities of all fluids). Maximum use is made of…
The incompressible Navier-Stokes (NS) equation is known to govern the hydrodynamic limit of essentially any fluid and its rich non-linear structure has critical implications in both mathematics and physics. The employability of the methods…
We use the distribution formalism to derive the complete set of junction conditions for general Local Rotationally Symmetric (LRS) spacetimes in the $1+1+2$ covariant formalism. We start by developing a parametric framework encompassing…
We propose new concepts, a dynamically transversely trapping surface (DTTS) and a marginally DTTS, as indicators for a strong gravity region. A DTTS is defined as a two-dimensional closed surface on a spacelike hypersurface such that…
The duality of gravitational dynamics (projected on a null hypersurface) and of fluid dynamics is investigated for the scalar tensor (ST) theory of gravity. The description of ST gravity, in both Einstein and Jordan frames, is analyzed from…
While theoretical models and simulations of magnetic reconnection often assume symmetry such that the magnetic null point when present is co-located with a flow stagnation point, the introduction of asymmetry typically leads to non-ideal…
Bounds for the area of general closed marginally trapped surfaces (MTSs) are presented. They do not require any stability condition, and are determined by a constant that depends on a particular component of the Einstein tensor on the…
Null collapse is an implosive process whereby MHD waves focus their energy in the vicinity of a null point, forming a current sheet and initiating magnetic reconnection. We consider, for the first time, the case of collapsing 3D magnetic…
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence in a regime in which the field theory reduces to fluid dynamics to construct an infinite class of new black objects in Scherk-Schwarz compactified AdS(d+2) space. Our configurations are dual to black…
We review recent developments in duality symmetric string theory. We begin with the world sheet doubled formalism which describes strings in an extended space time with extra coordinates conjugate to winding modes. This formalism is…
In calculations of gravitational collapse to form black holes, trapping horizons (foliated by marginally trapped surfaces) make their first appearance either within the collapsing matter or where it joins on to a vacuum exterior. Those…
In the Second Order Theories (SOT) of real relativistic fluids, the non-ideal properties are described by a new set of dynamical tensor variables. In this work we explore the non-linear dynamics of those modes in a conformal fluid. Among…
In this review paper, we comprehensively summarize numerical applications of double-null formalism for studying dynamics within the theory of gravity. By using the double-null coordinates, we can investigate dynamical black holes and…
