We study a new class of solutions of three-dimensional topological massive gravity. These solutions can be taken as non-extremal black holes, with their extremal counterparts being discrete quotients of spacelike warped AdS$_3$ along the…
We study a critical limit in which asymptotically-AdS black holes develop maximal conical deficits and their horizons become non-compact. When applied to stationary rotating black holes this limit coincides with the "ultraspinning limit"…
AdS$_2$ plays an extremely important role in black-hole physics. We construct several infinite families of supergravity solutions that are asymptotically AdS$_2$ in the UV, and terminate in the IR with a cap that is singular in two…
Electrically charged solutions for gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field are found in four dimensions in the presence of a cosmological constant. If a quartic self-interaction term for the scalar field is considered, there is a…
The near horizon limit of the extremal BTZ black hole is a``self-dual orbifold'' of AdS_3. This geometry has a null circle on its boundary, and thus the dual field theory is a Discrete Light Cone Quantized (DLCQ) two dimensional CFT. The…
Supersymmetric AdS black hole solutions exist only when their angular momenta and charges satisfy a certain constraint that depends on the dimension. We show that these nonlinear relations on the conserved charges agree with a computation…
We discuss a cornucopia of potential astrophysical signatures and constraints on magnetically charged black holes of various masses. As recently highlighted, being potentially viable astrophysical candidates with immense electromagnetic…
Magnetically charged black holes (MBHs) are interesting solutions of the Standard Model and general relativity. They may possess a "hairy" electroweak-symmetric corona outside the event horizon, which speeds up their Hawking radiation and…
We consider theories with gravity, gauge fields and scalars in four-dimensional asymptotically flat space-time. By studying the equations of motion directly we show that the attractor mechanism can work for non-supersymmetric extremal black…
We present arguments for the existence of higher dimensional asymptotically AdS non Abelian black holes with a Ricci flat event horizon and analyze their basic properties. Unlike higher dimensional black holes with a curved horizon, of the…
We study the self-gravitating Abrikosov vortex in curved space with and without a (negative) cosmological constant, considering both singular and non-singular solutions with an eye to hairy black holes. In the asymptotically flat case, we…
The presence of a photon region around the black hole is an essential feature in receiving the emitted spectrum from the vicinity of the black hole by the distant observer. In this paper, we investigate the optical properties of rotating…
Recently a new three-dimensional theory of gravity, dubbed Exotic Massive Gravity, was proposed as a unitary theory both in the bulk as well as in the dual CFT. This is the second simplest example, the first being Minimal Massive Gravity.…
We study spontaneously vectorized black holes in Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet theory with a quadratic coupling function. Besides the static, spherically symmetric black holes carrying an electric charge, there are uncharged static, axially…
We demonstrate that rotating dyonic black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion (EMDA) theory is holographically dual with 2D conformal field theory. We first investigate the duality on dyonic Kerr-Sen black hole with non-vanishing…
We investigate the geometry near the horizon of a generic, four-dimensional extremal black hole. When the cosmological constant is negative, we show that (in almost all cases) tidal forces diverge as one crosses the horizon, and this…
It is generally believed that the eternal AdS black hole is dual to two conformal field theories with compact spatial sections that are together in a thermofield double state. We argue that this proposal is incorrect, and by extension so…
The Weak Gravity Conjecture arises from the assertion that all extremal black holes, even those which are "classical" in the sense of being very massive, must decay by quantum-mechanical emission of particles or smaller black holes. This is…
We have obtained charged asymptotically AdS black hole solutions in Einstein Gauss Bonnet gravity in presence of string cloud. It turns out that there exist three black holes in certain range of parameters for small enough chemical…
We study the Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg theory in the presence of a self interacting scalar field, minimally coupled to gravity. We solve analytically the field equations for the magnetically charged case and we obtain novel magnetically…
