Assessing the stability of higher-dimensional rotating black holes requires a study of linearized gravitational perturbations around such backgrounds. We study perturbations of Myers-Perry black holes with equal angular momenta in an odd…
The dynamics of charged particles moving around a Kerr-Newman black hole surrounded by cloud strings, quintessence and electromagnetic field is integrable due to the presence of a fourth constant of motion like the Carter constant. The…
The innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) offers a fundamental test of spacetime structure. However, its behavior in higher-dimensional black holes influenced by anisotropic energy-momentum tensors remains insufficiently explored. In this…
Unique features of particle orbits produce novel signatures of gravitational observable phenomena, and are quite useful in testing compact astrophysical objects in general relativity or modified theories of gravity. Here we observe a…
We study the stability of odd-dimensional rotating black holes with equal angular momenta by performing an expansion in the inverse of the number of dimensions D. Universality at large $D$ allows us to calculate analytically the complex…
We show that four-dimensional black holes become stable below certain mass when the Einstein-Hilbert action is supplemented with higher-curvature terms. We prove this to be the case for an infinite family of ghost-free theories involving…
