We model the collapse of a spherically symmetric, constant density, pressureless shell onto a preexisting black hole. Contrary to a recent claim of Liu and Zhang (2009), we show that an observer at infinity never sees any part of the shell…
We describe black holes in d+3 dimensions, whose thermodynamic properties correspond to those of a scale invariant non-relativistic d+1 dimensional quantum system with dynamical exponent z=2. The gravitational model involves a massive…
The correspondence principle and causality divide the spacetime of a macroscopic collapsing mass into three regions: classical, semiclassical, and ultraviolet. The semiclassical region covers the entire evolution of the black hole from the…
