This paper is concerned with several not-quantum aspects of black holes, with emphasis on theoretical and mathematical issues related to numerical modeling of black hole space-times. Part of the material has a review character, but some new…
The construction of a generic parametrization of spinning geometries which can be matched continuously to the Kerr metric is an important open problem in General Relativity. Its resolution is more than of academic interest, as it allows to…

We show that the Kerr-Schild ansatz can be extended from the metric to the tetrad, and then to teleparallel gravity where curvature vanishes but torsion does not. We derive the equations of motion for the Kerr-Schild null vector, and…
In this paper we obtain a new solution of Einstein field equations which describes a boosted Kerr-Newman black hole relative to a Lorentz frame at future null infinity. To simplify our analysis we consider a particular configuration in…
For distant observers black holes are trapped spacetime domains bounded by apparent horizons. We review properties of the near-horizon geometry emphasizing the consequences of two common implicit assumptions of semiclassical physics. The…
Local condition that imply the no-hair property of black holes are completed. The conditions take the form of constraints on the geometry of the 2-dimensional crossover surface of black hole horizon. They imply also the axial symmetry…
We consider non-expanding shear free (NE-SF) null surface geometries embeddable as extremal Killing horizons to the second order in Einstein vacuum spacetimes. A NE-SF null surface geometry consists of a degenerate metric tensor and a…
Consider a compact, orientable, three dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary with nonnegative scalar curvature. Suppose its boundary is the disjoint union of two pieces: the horizon boundary and the outer boundary, where the horizon…
Kerr-Vaidya metrics are the simplest dynamical axially-symmetric solutions, all of which violate the null energy condition and thus are consistent with the formation of a trapped region in finite time according to distant observers. We…
Any spacetime containing a degenerate Killing horizon, such as an extremal black hole, possesses a well-defined notion of a near-horizon geometry. We review such near-horizon geometry solutions in a variety of dimensions and theories in a…
Given a smooth globally hyperbolic $(3+1)$-dimensional spacetime satisfying the Einstein vacuum equations (possibly with cosmological constant) and an inextendible timelike geodesic, we construct a family of metrics depending on a small…
We consider the general construction of near-horizon limit for extremal black hole solutions with non-trivial torsion, and derive the covariant geometric conditions for the existence this limit. A near-horizon solution with torsion is…
Using the techniques of isolated horizon formalism, we construct the space of solutions of asymptotically flat extremal black holes in N=2 pure supergravity in 4 dimensions. We prove the laws of black hole mechanics. Further, restricting to…
Construction of astrophysically realistic initial data remains a central problem when modelling the merger and eventual coalescence of binary black holes in numerical relativity. The objective of this paper is to provide astrophysically…
A stationary and spherically symmetric black hole (For example, Reissner-Nordstrom black hole or Kerr-Newman black hole) has at most one singularity and two horizons. One horizon is the outer event horizon and the other is the inner Cauchy…
In this paper, we investigate the numerical solutions for spherically symmetric situations in Einstein cubic gravity. In addition to the previously found black hole solutions, we uncover a new class of solutions that lack horizons. Due to…
We prove that a regular stationary black-hole solution of the Einstein vacuum equations which is "close" to some Kerr solution is, in fact, isometric to that Kerr solution.
We analyze the near-horizon symmetries of static, axisymmetric, four-dimensional black holes with spherical and toroidal horizon topologies in vacuum general relativity. These black hole solutions, collectively referred to as…
We solve the elliptic equations associated with the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints, corresponding to a system composed of two black holes with arbitrary linear and angular momentum. These new solutions are based on a Kerr-Schild…
