Scale invariant theories of gravity give a compelling explanation to the early and late time acceleration of the Universe. Unlike most scalar-tensor theories, fifth forces are absent and it would therefore seem impossible to distinguish…
We study the occurrence of critical phenomena in four - dimensional, rotating and charged black holes, derive the critical exponents and show that they fulfill the scaling laws. Correlation functions critical exponents and Renormalization…
We study static BPS black hole horizons in four dimensional N=2 gauged supergravity coupled to $n_v$-vector multiplets and with an arbitrary cubic prepotential. We work in a symplectically covariant formalism which allows for both electric…
We present results of numerical simulations of the formation of black holes from the gravitational collapse of a massless, minimally-coupled scalar field in 2+1 dimensional, axially-symmetric, anti de-Sitter (AdS) spacetime. The geometry…
In this paper, we study the $D\to3$ limit of Gauss-Bonnet gravity with quintessential matter, obtaining exact solutions that extend the BTZ metric through higher-curvature terms and quintessence coupling. The solutions exhibit a single…
We determine the most general three-dimensional vacuum spacetime with a negative cosmological constant containing a non-singular Killing horizon. We show that the general solution with a spatially compact horizon possesses a second…
We present a new class of four-dimensional AdS black holes with non-compact event horizons of finite area. The event horizons are topologically spheres with one puncture, with the puncture pushed to infinity in the form of a cusp. Because…
What does a black hole look like? In 1+3 spacetime dimensions, the optical appearance of a black hole is a bidimensional region in the observer's sky often called the black hole shadow, as supported by the EHT observations. In higher…
For a rotating black hole to be nonsingular, it means that there are no spacetime singularities at its center. The destruction of the event horizon of such a rotating black hole is not constrained by the weak cosmic censorship conjecture,…
A process for using curvature invariants is applied as a new means to evaluate the traversability of Lorentzian wormholes and to display the wormhole spacetime manifold. This approach was formulated by Henry, Overduin and Wilcomb for Black…
We continue a study by Adler and Ramazano\uglu (AR) of "black" holes as modified by a scale invariant dark energy action. For the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild-like case, (AR) found that there is no event horizon; hence spacetime is…
In this paper we describe a model of a four-dimensional spherically symmetric black hole in a limiting curvature theory of gravity. In this theory the Einstein-Hilbert action is modified by adding to the action terms providing inequality…
Area products for multi-horizon stationary black holes often have intriguing properties, and are often (though not always) independent of the mass of the black hole itself (depending only on various charges, angular momenta, and moduli).…
For the BTZ black hole in the Einstein gravity, a statistical entropy has been calculated. It is equal to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. In this article, its statistical entropy in the higer curvature gravity is calculated and shown to be…
According to Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule, an equally spaced horizon area spectrum of a static, spherically symmetric black hole was obtained under an adiabatic invariant action. This method can be extended to the rotating black holes.…
Dynamical black holes in the non-perturbative regime are not mathematically well understood. Studying approximate symmetries of spacetimes describing dynamical black holes gives an insight into their structure. Utilising the property that…
We investigate the three-dimensional behavior of gravity coupled to a dynamical unit timelike vector: the aether, and present two new classes of exact charged solutions. When c_{13}=0,\Lambda'=0$, we find the solutions is the usual BTZ…
The well-known BTZ black hole solution of (2+1) Einstein's gravity, in the presence of a cosmological constant, is treated both at the classical and quantum level. Classically, the imposition of the two manifest local Killing fields of the…
It is shown how to transform the three dimensional BTZ black hole into a four dimensional cylindrical black hole (i.e., black string) in general relativity. This process is identical to the transformation of a point particle in three…
Quasinormal modes (QNMs) are usually characterized by their time dependence; oscillations at specific frequencies predicted by black hole (BH) perturbation theory. QNMs are routinely identified in the ringdown of numerical relativity…
