We continue our study of the decoupled wave equation in the exterior of a spherically symmetric, Schwarzschild, black hole. Because null geodesics on the photon sphere orbit the black hole, extra effort must be made to show that the high…
In this paper, we prove the codimension-one nonlinear asymptotic stability of the extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om family of black holes in the spherically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell-neutral scalar field model, up to and including the event…
In this paper, we give a complete description of the black hole threshold, locally near the Reissner-Nordstr\"om family, in the infinite-dimensional moduli space $\mathfrak M$ of dynamical spherically symmetric solutions to the…
We consider the Pleba\'nski class of electrovacuum solutions to the Einstein equations with a cosmological constant. These space-times, which are also known as the Kerr-Newman-NUT-(anti-)de Sitter space-times, are characterized by a mass…
In previous publications we have extensively studied spherically symmetric solutions of gravity coupled to a non-standard type of non-linear electrodynamics containing a square root of the ordinary Maxwell Lagrangian (the latter is known to…
In 1996, Huisken-Yau showed that every three-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be uniquely foliated near infinity by stable closed CMC-surfaces if it is asymptotically equal to the (spatial) Schwarzschild solution and has positive mass.…
In this paper, we investigate the topological photon sphere from two distinct perspectives. In the first view, we examine the existence and characteristics of topological photon(anti-photon)spheres for black holes with different structures,…
Unique features of particle orbits produce novel signatures of gravitational observable phenomena, and are quite useful in testing compact astrophysical objects in general relativity or modified theories of gravity. Here we observe a…
A large class of spherically symmetric static extremal black hole spacetimes possesses a stable null photon sphere on their horizons. For the extremal Kerr-Newman family, the photon sphere only really coincides with the horizon in the sense…
We present a quantum mechanical study of the bound states of a neutral scalar particle on the curved background described by the Reissner-Nordstr\"om (RN) spacetime that corresponds to a naked singularity. We show that there occurs both the…
It has long been suggested that solutions to linear scalar wave equation $$\Box_g\phi=0$$ on a fixed subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime with non-vanishing charge are generically singular at the Cauchy horizon. We prove that generic…
A regular static, spherically symmetric electrically charged black hole solution of general relativity coupled to a new theory for nonlinear electrodynamics is presented. This theory has the interesting feature that, at far distances from…
In 1990, based on numerical and formal asymptotic analysis, Ori and Piran predicted the existence of self-similar spacetimes, called relativistic Larson-Penston solutions, that can be suitably flattened to obtain examples of spacetimes that…
We study the interior of a Reissner-Nordstr\"om Black-Hole (RNBH) using Relativistic Quantum Geometry, which was introduced in some previous works. We found discrete energy levels for a scalar field from a polynomial condition for the Heun…
An inner de Sitter region is glued smoothly and consistently with an outer Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m (RN) spacetime on a spherical thin-shell. Mass and charge of the outer RN spacetime are defined by the de Sitter and shell parameters. Radius…
Thin shell wormholes are constructed by joining two asymptotically flat spacetimes along their inner boundaries. The junction conditions imposed on the spacetimes specify the equation of state of the matter called thin shell distributed…
We show non-linear stability and instability results in spherical symmetry for the interior of a charged black hole -approaching a sub-extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om background fast enough at infinity- in presence of a massive and charged…
We consider a wide class of static spherically symmetric black holes of arbitrary dimension with a photon sphere (a hypersurface on which a massless particle can orbit the black hole on unstable circular null geodesics). This class includes…
Stability of a photon sphere, or stability of circular null geodesics on the sphere, plays a key role in its applications to astrophysics. For instance, an unstable photon sphere is responsible for determining the size of a black hole…
In this letter, we present a novel exact scalar quasibound states solutions in the extremal Reissner-Norstr\"om black hole background. We start with the construction of the governing covariant relativistic scalar field equation, the…
