We study the absorption and scattering of massless scalar waves by Frolov black holes, a regular deformation of the Reissner--Nordstr\"om geometry. A null-geodesic analysis provides the photon-sphere radius and the critical impact…
Exact solutions of spherically symmetric black hole and gravitational wave are explored in $f(R)$ gravity in arbitrary dimension. We find two exact solutions for the radiation and absorption of null dust. In the framework of general…

Scattering of a time harmonic anti-plane shear wave due to either a pair of crack tips or a pair of rigid constraint tips on square lattice is considered. The two problems correspond to the so called zero-offset case of scattering due to a…
Disturbing of a spacetime geometry may result in the appearance of an oscillating and damped radiation - the so-called quasinormal modes. Their periods of oscillations and damping coefficients carry unique information about the mass and the…
By reexamination of the boundary conditions of wave equation on a black hole horizon it is found not harmonic, but real-valued exponentially time-dependent solutions. This means that quantum particles probably do not cross the Schwarzschild…
