Cutting out an infinite tube around $r=0$ formally removes the Schwarzschild singularity, but without a physical mechanism this procedure seems ad hoc and artificial. In this paper we provide justification for such a mechanism by means of…
Einstein's general theory of relativity poses many problems to the quantum theory of point particle fields. Among them is the fate of a massive point particle. Since its rest mass exists entirely within its Schwarzschild radius, in the…
A theory of gravitation is constructed in which all homogeneous and isotropic solutions are nonsingular, and in which all curvature invariants are bounded. All solutions for which curvature invariants approach their limiting values approach…
A recent paper proposes a static ellipsoidal space-time metric that reduces to Schwarzschild. After examining the corrected line element using Maple's Differential geometry package, we find that the Einstein tendor and Ricci scalar are…
We consider a class of black hole solutions to Einstein's equations in d dimensions with a negative cosmological constant. These solutions have the property that the horizon is a (d-2)-dimensional Einstein manifold of positive, zero, or…
Utilizing various gauges of the radial coordinate, we give a General Relativistic (GR) description of static spherically symmetric spacetimes with a massive point source and vacuum outside this singularity. We show that in GR there exists a…
In this work we study static black holes in the regularized 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity; a shift-symmetric scalar-tensor theory that belongs to the Horndeski class. This theory features a simple black hole solution that can…
We obtain the static spherically symmetric solutions of a class of gravitational models whose additions to the General Relativity (GR) action forbid Ricci-flat, in particular, Schwarzschild geometries. These theories are selected to…
We present a streamlined proof that any Einstein-AdS space is a solution of the Lu, Pang and Pope conformal gravity theory in six dimensions. The reduction of conformal gravity into Einstein theory manifestly shows that the action of the…
We study conformally-invariant theories of gravity in six dimensions. In four dimensions, there is a unique such theory that is polynomial in the curvature and its derivatives, namely Weyl-squared, and furthermore all solutions of Einstein…
We show a stability result for the Schwarzschild singularity (inside the black hole region) for the Einstein vacuum equations. The result is proven in the class of polarized axial symmetry, under perturbations of the Schwarzschild data…
We study static, spherically symmetric black holes supported by Euler-Heisenberg theory of electrodynamics and coupled to two different modified theories of gravity. Such theories are the quadratic $f(R)$ model and Eddington-inspired…
We present a geometrical gravitational theory which reduces to Einstein's theory for weak gravitational potentials and which has a singularity-free analog of the Schwarzschild metric.
We attempt to study three significant tests of general relativity in higher dimensions both in commutative and non-commutative spaces. In the context of non-commutative geometry, we will consider a solution of the Einstein equation in…
In this work we have obtained the set of new exact solutions of the Einstein equations that generalize the known Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi solution for the certain case of nonzero pressure under zero spatial curvature. These solutions are…
We consider cosmological and black hole solutions in the Einstein and higher-derivative gravity in two dimensions where the theory is formulated first in $D$ dimensions. In the limit that $D$ tends to $2$ with simultaneous singular…
Here we give a more detailed account of the part of the conference report that was devoted to reinterpreting the Einstein `unified models of gravity and electromagnetism' (1923) as the unified theory of dark energy (cosmological constant)…
TeVeS, a relativistic theory of gravity, was designed to provide a basis for the modified Newtonian dynamics. Since TeVeS differs from general relativity (e.g., it has two metrics, an Einstein metric and a physical metric), black hole…
In this manuscript, we put forth a general scheme for defining initial value problems from Einstein's equations of General Relativity constrained by homogeneous and isotropic expansion. The cosmological models arising as solutions are…
