Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory is an interesting theory of gravity for studying scalar fields in the context of no-hair theorem. In this work, we consider static charged dilaton and charged, slowly rotating dilaton black holes in…

We model the quasicircular inspiral of a compact object into a more massive charged black hole. Extreme and intermediate mass-ratio inspirals are considered through a small mass-ratio approximation. Reissner-Nordstr$\ddot{\text{o}}$m…
General relativity has passed all solar system experiments and neutron star based tests, such as binary pulsar observations, with flying colors. A more exotic arena for testing general relativity is in systems that contain one or more black…

Stationary black holes in 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory possess surprising properties. When considering the Chern-Simons coefficient $\lambda$ as a parameter, two critical values of $\lambda$ appear: the supergravity…
Restricted to a black hole horizon, the ``gauge'' algebra of surface deformations in general relativity contains a Virasoro subalgebra with a calculable central charge. The fields in any quantum theory of gravity must transform accordingly,…

We compute the value of effective photon mass $m_\gamma$ at one-loop level in QED in the background of small ($10^{10}\,\text{g} \lesssim M \ll 10^{16}\,\text{g}$) spherically symmetric black hole in asymptotically flat spacetime. This…
We find a new class of theories of massive gravity with five propagating degrees of freedom where only rotations are preserved. Our results are based on a non-perturbative and background-independent Hamiltonian analysis. In these theories…
A series of corrections to general relativity have recently been applied to find the relationship between entropy and extremality-bound black holes. This relationship has been investigated for many black holes, such as charged AdS,…
It has recently been proved that a third law of black hole mechanics does not hold for Einstein-Maxwell theory coupled to a massless charged scalar field: there exist solutions that describe gravitational collapse to form an exactly…
We investigate various properties of extremal dyonic static black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory. Using the fact that the long-range force between two identical extremal black holes always vanishes, we obtain a simple first-order…
We classified and studied the charged black hole and wormhole solutions in the Einstein--Maxwell system in the presence of a massless, real scalar field. The possible existence of charged black holes in general scalar--tensor theories was…
