We study the metric corresponding to a three-dimensional coset space $SO(4)/SO(3)$ in the lattice setting. With the use of three integers $n_1, n_2$, and $n_3$, and a length scale, $l_{\mu}$, the continuous metric is transformed into a…

Charged black holes arise as solutions of General Relativity (GR) coupled to Maxwell theory. As functions of the mass and charge, they can exhibit extremal behavior, in which case they are stable against thermal decay. (Quantum) corrections…

Gravitational lensing near a black hole is strong enough that light rays can circle the event horizon multiple times. Photons emitted in multiple directions at a single event, perhaps because of localized, impulsive heating of accreting…
