We explicitly construct the metric of a Kerr black hole that is tidally perturbed by the external universe in the slow-motion approximation. This approximation assumes that the external universe changes slowly relative to the rotation rate…
Kerr black holes with synchronised hair [arXiv:1403.2757, arXiv:1603.02687] are a counter example to the no hair conjecture, in General Relativity minimally coupled to simple matter fields (with mass $\mu$) obeying all energy conditions.…
Linear perturbation theory is a powerful toolkit for studying black hole spacetimes. However, the perturbation equations are hard to solve unless we can use separation of variables. In the Kerr spacetime, metric perturbations do not…
In the context of f(R) modified gravity theories, we study the Kerr-Newman black-hole solutions. We study non-zero constant scalar curvature solutions and discuss the metric tensor that satisfies the modified field equations. We determine…
As a consequence of Birkhoff's theorem, the exterior gravitational field of a spherically symmetric star or black hole is always given by the Schwarzschild metric. In contrast, the exterior gravitational field of a rotating (axisymmetric)…
We show that the Kerr-Schild ansatz can be extended from the metric to the tetrad, and then to teleparallel gravity where curvature vanishes but torsion does not. We derive the equations of motion for the Kerr-Schild null vector, and…
We present a novel approach for the construction of interior solutions for the Kerr metric, extending J. Ovalle's foundational work through ellipsoidal coordinate transformations. By deriving a physically plausible interior solution that…
The massless scalar field in the higher-dimensional Kerr black hole (Myers- Perry solution with a single rotation axis) has been investigated. It has been shown that the field equation is separable in arbitrary dimensions. The quasi-normal…
We formulate conditions on the geometry of a non-expanding horizon $\Delta$ which are sufficient for the space-time metric to coincide on $\Delta$ with the Kerr metric. We introduce an invariant which can be used as a measure of how…
Arising from admissible extended scale-critical short-pulse initial data, we show that 3+1 dimensional Einstein vacuum equations admit dynamical Kerr black hole formation solutions. Our hyperbolic arguments combine the scale-critical…
In this paper we try to clarify that a regular metric can generate a singular spacetime. Our work focuses on a static and spherically symmetric spacetime in which regularity exists when all components of the Riemann tensor are finite. There…
Since the Weak Cosmic Censorship Conjecture was proposed, research on this conjecture has been ongoing. This paper explores the conjecture in black holes that are closer to those existing in the real universe (i.e., rotating black holes…
We investigate the properties of the horizons and ergosphere in a rotating higher dimensional (HD) deformed Kerr-like black hole. We also explicitly bring out the effect of deformation parameter $\epsilon$ and the extra dimension on the…
Quantum gravity theories predict deformations of black hole solutions relative to their classical counterparts. A model-independent approach was advocated in \cite{Binetti:2022xdi} that uses metric deformations parametrised in terms of…
There is a chance that the spacetime around massive compact objects which are expected to be black holes is not described by the Kerr metric, but by a metric which can be considered as a perturbation of the Kerr metric. These non-Kerr…
The ring wormhole is the zero-mass limit of the Kerr metric. Its geometry is locally flat, but the topology is nontrivial, with a throat connecting two asymptotic regions and a distributional curvature singularity on the ring encircling the…
Very-long baseline interferometric observations have resolved structure on scales of only a few Schwarzschild radii around the supermassive black holes at the centers of our Galaxy and M87. In the near future, such observations are expected…
We study the interior of distorted stationary rotating black holes on the example of a Kerr black hole distorted by external static and axisymmetric mass distribution. We show that there is a duality transformation between the outer and…
In general relativity, nonsingular black holes contain (at least) a Cauchy horizon, a null hypersurface beyond which determinism breaks down. Even though the strong cosmic censorship conjecture establishes the impossibility of extending…
Complete sequences of new analytic solutions of Einstein's equations which describe thin super massive disks are constructed. These solutions are derived geometrically. The identification of points across two symmetrical cuts through a…
