We consider the stationary metrics that have both the black hole and the ergoregion. The class of such metric contains, in particular, the Kerr metric. We study the Cauchy problem with highly oscillatory initial data supported in a…
Particles or waves scattered from a rotating black hole can be amplified through the process of Penrose superradiance, though this cannot currently be observed in an astrophysical setting. However, analogue gravity studies can create…
We study the geodesic equation in the space-time of a Kerr black hole pierced by an infinitely thin cosmic string and give the complete set of analytical solutions of this equation for massive and massless particles in terms of Mino time…
A procedure to derive a unitary evolution law for a quantised black hole, has been proposed by the author. The proposal requires that one starts off with the entire Penrose diagram for the eternal black hole as the background metric, after…
Analogue gravity stands today as an important tool for the investigation of gravitational phenomena that would be otherwise out of reach considering our technology. We consider here the analogue Penrose process in a rotating acoustic black…
We consider a process where two identical massive particles fall inwards, starting from rest at infinity towards the extremal Kerr black hole, collide outside the event horizon in its vicinity and produce two massless particles. The center…
It is shown that the energy in the centre of mass frame of colliding particles in free fall at any point of the ergosphere of the rotating black hole can grow without limit for fixed energy values on infinity. The effect takes place for…
In this paper, we aim to examine the electric Penrose process (PP) around a charged black hole in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity and bring out the effect of the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) coupling parameter $\alpha$ and black hole charge on…
A number of long-standing puzzles, such as the origin of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays, could perhaps be solved if we found a mechanism for effectively transferring energy from black holes to particles and, correspondingly, accelerating the…
We present a comprehensive analysis of the thermodynamic and optical properties of the Bumblebee Kerr-Newman-Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black hole, a rotating and charged configuration arising in Lorentz symmetry-violating (LSV) gravity. The…
We use the inverse mean curvature flow to establish Penrose-type inequalities for time-symmetric Einstein-Maxwell initial data sets which can be suitably embedded as a hypersurface in Euclidean space $\mathbb R^{n+1}$, $n\geq 3$. In…
An inspiralling object of mass $\mu$ around a Kerr black hole of mass $M (\gg \mu)$ experiences a continuous transition near the innermost stable circular orbit from adiabatic inspiral to plunge into the horizon as gravitational radiation…
We consider collision of two geodesic particles moving around rotating stationary axially symmetric black holes. It is shown for arbitrary nonequatorial motion that under certain conditions the energy in their centre of mass frame can grow…
Binary black hole may form near a supermassive black hole. The background black hole (BH) will affect the gravitational wave (GW) generated by the binary black hole. It is well known that the Penrose process may provide extra energy due to…
One of the most important issues in relativistic astrophysics is to explain the origin mechanisms of (ultra)high energy charged particle components of cosmic rays. Black holes (BHs) being huge reservoirs of (gravitational) energy can be…
High-energy collisions can occur for radially moving charged test particles in the extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime if one of the particles is fine-tuned and the collision point is taken close to the horizon. This is an analogy of…
Scattering of particles in the gravitational field of rotating black holes is considered. Expressions for scattering energy of particles in the centre of mass system are obtained. It is shown that scattering energy of particles in the…
Using the Newman-Janis method to construct the axion-dilaton coupled charged rotating black holes, we show that the energy extraction from such black holes via Penrose process takes place from the axion/Kalb-Ramond field energy responsible…
We obtain an explicit expression for the center-of-mass (CM) energy of two colliding general geodesic massive and massless particles at any spacetime point around a Kerr black hole. Applying this, we show that the CM energy can be…
A new feature of the rotating black holes is the existence in their ergosphere of trajectories of particles with negative and zero energies. Here we analyze general properties of such trajectories comparing them with usual trajectories of…
