A new, exact and analytical class of accelerating and charged black holes is built, in the Einstein-Maxwell theory, thanks to the Harrison transformation. The diagonal metric does not belong to the Petrov type D classification, therefore it…
A small deformation controlled by four free parameters to the Schwarzschild metric could be referred to a nonspinning black hole solution in alternative theories of gravity. Because such a non-Schwarzschild metric can be changed into a…
We investigate higher dimensional Robinson-Trautman spacetimes with an electromagnetic field aligned with the hypersurface orthogonal, non-shearing, expanding geodesic null congruence. After integrating the system of Einstein-Maxwell…
The necessary and sufficient conditions for a spacetime with an invariant frame to admit a group of isometries of dimension $r$ are given in terms of the connection tensor $H$ associated with this frame. In Petrov-Bel types I, II and III,…
This paper is devoted to the analysis of charged superselection sectors in the framework of the locally covariant quantum field theories. We shall analize sharply localizable charges, and use net-cohomology of J.E. Roberts as a main tool.…
Recently, several new characteristics have been introduced to describe null geodesic structure of stationary spacetimes, such as photon regions (PR) and transversely trapping surfaces (TTS). The former are three-dimensional domains…
Explicit expressions for the quasi-Kinnersley tetrad for the quasi-Kerr metric are given. These provide a very clear and simple example of the quasi-Kinnersley tetrad, and may be useful in the future development of a `quasi-Teukolsky'…
Analogue space-times (and in particular metamaterial analogue space-times) have a long varied and complex history. Much of the previous related work has focused on spherically symmetric models; however, axial symmetry is much more relevant…
We study spherically symmetric spacetime perturbations induced by a neutral scalar in the near-horizon region of extreme Reissner-Nordstrom black holes. For the unperturbed black hole, the near-horizon region is given by another exact…
A spacetime group is a connected 4-dimensional Lie group G endowed with a left invariant Lorentz metric h and such that the connected component of the isometry group of h is G itself. The Newman-Penrose formalism is used to give an…
This work is concerned with suitable choices of tetrad fields and coordinate systems for the Hamiltonian formalism of a spinning particle derived in [E. Barausse, E. Racine, and A. Buonanno, Phys. Rev. D 80, 104025 (2009)]. After…
We first present an overview of the Schwarzschild vacuum spacetime within general relativity, with particular emphasis on the role of scalar polynomial invariants and the null frame approach (and the related Cartan invariants), that…
Several recent results concerning the complete class of exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell-$\Lambda$ equations of type D with a double-aligned electromagnetic field are summarized. This large class of spacetimes includes charged black…
We relate the structure of non-perturbative corrections to BPS black hole observables in flat-spacetime theories with certain properties of probe charged particles in the near-horizon geometry. Concretely, we consider 4d $\mathcal{N} = 2$…
In this paper we develop a new framework for non-linear perturbations of the Kerr spacetime. This is based on a characterization of the Kerr spacetime in terms of a Killing spinor. On the perturbed spacetime, one can construct an…
We classify the necessary and sufficient conditions to obtain the near-horizon geometry of extremal supersymmetric rotating black holes embedded in 11d supergravity. Such rotating black holes admit an AdS$_2$ near-horizon geometry which is…
While the Teukolsky equation plays a central role in traditional treatments of perturbations of algebraically special spacetimes, its relation to Friedrich's conformal Einstein field equations (CEFEs) remains largely unexplored. Here we…
