The recent first detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black hole mergers has spurred a renewed interest in possible deviations from General Relativity (GR), since they could be detected in the GWs emitted by such systems. Of…
We explore systematically perturbations of self-similar solutions to the Einstein-axion-dilaton system, whose dynamics are invariant under spacetime dilations combined with internal $SL(2,R)$ transformations. The self-similar solutions…
Gravitational critical collapse in the Einstein-axion-dilaton system is known to lead to continuous self-similar solutions characterized by the Choptuik critical exponent $\gamma$. We complete the existing literature on the subject by…
We study the asymptotic symmetries of near-horizon extremal BTZ black holes in higher derivative theories of gravity, such as New Massive Gravity and Topological Massive Gravity. By employing a particular boundary condition and the…

We study the $P-V/r_{+}$ criticality and phase transition of quantum-corrected black hole in asymptotic safety (AS) gravity in the extended phase space. For the black hole, the cosmological constant is dependent on the momentum cutoff or…
We construct new static, spherically symmetric non-extremal black hole solutions of four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ supergravity, using a systematic technique based on dimensional reduction over time (the c-map) and the real formulation of…
Asymptotic Safety offers a conservative and predictive framework for quantum gravity, based on the existence of a renormalization group fixed point that ensures ultraviolet completeness without introducing new degrees of freedom. Black…
We study the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous scalar field with quantum gravity corrections associated with singularity avoidance. Numerical simulations indicate that there is critical behaviour at the onset of black hole…
In this paper we study several aspects of extremal spherical symmetric black hole solutions of four dimensional N=1 supergravity coupled to vector and chiral multiplets with the scalar potential turned on. In the asymptotic region the…
It is logically possible that regularly evaporating black holes exist in nature. In fact, the prevalent theoretical view is that these are indeed the real objects behind the curtain in astrophysical scenarios. There are several proposals…
Discretely self-similar solutions govern critical gravitational collapse and have been known only numerically since Choptuik's pioneering work. We construct, in closed analytic form, an infinite family of such solutions of the…
We investigated the critical dynamical scalarization and descalarization of black holes within the framework of the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory featuring higher-order coupling functions. Both the critical scalarization and…
We introduce a strong-disorder renormalization group (RG) approach suitable for investigating the quasiparticle excitations of disordered superconductors in which the quasiparticle spin is not conserved. We analyze one-dimensional models…
We investigate the general relativistic collapse of spherically symmetric, massless spin-1/2 fields at the threshold of black hole formation. A spherically symmetric system is constructed from two spin-1/2 fields by forming a spin singlet…
In this thesis we present the first numerical study of gravitational collapse in braneworlds within the framework of the single brane model proposed by Randall and Sundrum (RSII). We directly show that the evolutions of sufficiently strong…
It is understood that the Supernovae (SNe) associated to Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are of type Ib/c. The temporal coincidence of the GRB and the SN represents still a major enigma of Relativistic Astrophysics. We elaborate here, from the…
