Dynamical Chern-Simons (dCS) gravity is a promising extension of general relativity (GR), arising naturally from the low-energy limit of some string motivated theories. Even though dCS possesses an additional scalar degree of freedom,…

In massive gravity the so-far-found black hole solutions on Minkowski space happen to convert horizons into a certain type of singularities. Here we explore whether these singularities can be avoided if space-time is not asymptotically…
We obtain new non-extremal rotating black hole solutions in maximal five-dimensional gauged supergravity. They are characterised by five parameters, associated with the mass, the two angular momenta, and two independently-specifiable charge…
