We prove in this paper that the Schwarzschild famiily of black holes are linearly stable as a family of solutions to the system of equations that result from expressing the Einstein vacuum equations in a generalised wave gauge. In…
Upper limits for the mass-radius ratio are derived for arbitrary general relativistic matter distributions in the presence of a cosmological constant. General restrictions for the red shift and total energy (including the gravitational…
We present, in closed analytic form, a general stationary, slowly rotating black hole, which is solution to a large class of alternative theories of gravity in four dimensions. In these theories, the Einstein-Hilbert action is supplemented…
We employ the minimal geometric deformation approach to gravitational decoupling (MGD- decoupling) in order to build an exact anisotropic version of the Schwarzschild interior solution in a space-time with cosmological constant. Contrary to…
Einstein's general theory of relativity poses many problems to the quantum theory of point particle fields. Among them is the fate of a massive point particle. Since its rest mass exists entirely within its Schwarzschild radius, in the…

Some special solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell action with a non-negative cosmological constant and a very heavy point mass particle have been obtained. The solutions correspond to static spacetime of locally constant curvature in its…
The static, spherical solutions that exhibit an antisymmetry between the temporal and radial coordinates in $f(R)$ gravity theories are presented. I present the constraint for this antisymmetry and show that pure $R^2$ models produce these…
In its final year of inspiral, a stellar mass ($1 - 10 M_\odot$) body orbits a massive ($10^5 - 10^7 M_\odot$) compact object about $10^5$ times, spiralling from several Schwarzschild radii to the last stable orbit. These orbits are deep in…
The Schwarzschild spacetime metric of negative mass is well-known to contain a naked singularity. In a spacelike slice, this singularity of the metric is characterized by the property that nearby surfaces have arbitrarily small area. We…
We investigate the absorption and scattering by a Schwarzschild black hole in scalar--tensor theories of gravity, where the coupling between matter and the scalar field induces different models for the effective mass of the scalar field. In…
We investigate the ultrarelativistic boost of a Schwarzschild black hole immersed in an external electromagnetic field, described by an exact solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations found by Ernst (the ``Schwarzschild-Melvin'' metric).…
Observing the list of compatible second order equations of Absolute Parallelism (AP) found by Einstein and Mayer (they used D=4), we choose the one-parameter class of equations which take on a 3-linear form (when contra-frame density of…
We review the theoretical motivations and experimental status of searches for stable massive particles (SMPs) which could be sufficiently long-lived as to be directly detected at collider experiments. The discovery of such particles would…
The distribution of dark matter (DM) halo around supermassive black holes (BHs) may leave observable imprints on stellar dynamics near galactic centers. Motivated by this, we investigate the orbital motion of the S2 star in the spacetime of…
