We investigate the astrophysical consequences of black holes in quadratic gravity, characterized by the parameters $S_0$, $S_2$, $m_0$ and $m_2$, in addition to the black hole mass $M$. To evaluate the physical validity of the fundamental…
We describe the gravitational degrees of freedom of the Schwarzschild black hole by one free variable. We introduce an equation which we suggest to be the Schroedinger equation of the Schwarzschild black hole corresponding to this model. We…
In this paper we study the gravitational collapse in loop quantum gravity. We consider the space-time region inside the Schwarzschild black hole event horizon and we divide this region in two parts, the first one where the matter (dust…
Gravitational perturbations which are present in any realistic stellar collapse to a black hole, die off in the exterior of the hole, but experience an infinite blueshift in the interior. This is believed to lead to a slowly contracting…
In the presence of a minimal length physical objects cannot collapse to an infinite density, singular, matter point. In this note we consider the possible final stage of the gravitational collapse of "thick" matter layers. The energy…
Classical general relativity predicts a singularity at the center of a black hole, where known laws of physics break down. This suggests the existence of deeper, yet unknown principles of Nature. Among various theoretical possibilities, one…
Black holes are among the most extreme objects that can be found in the Universe and an ideal laboratory for testing fundamental physics. This article will briefly review the basic properties of black holes as expected from general…
Exploiting a rotating Schwarzschild black hole metric, we study hydrodynamic properties of perfect fluid whirling inward toward the black holes along a conical surface. On the equatorial plane of the rotating Schwarzschild black hole, we…

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…
Through an illuminating thought experiment we demonstrate that the nonsingular "continued collapse" picture of a black hole is the only consistent and physical one. We provide a class exact solutions on the boundary of the space of physical…
We study higher dimensional gravitational collapse to topological black holes in two steps. Firstly, we construct some (n+2)-dimensional collapsing space-times, which include generalised Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi-like solutions, and we prove…
We consider the problem of gravitational collapse of a fluid under the effect of a Schwarzschild black hole (e.g. a primordial one) that suddenly forms inside the fluid. We assume the fluid initially be a uniform dust. Starting from this…
In this paper, we present the solution for a Schwarzschild black-hole immersed in an electric or magnetic background field \`a la Melvin within the framework of Entangled Relativity. Previous solutions in Entangled Relativity required…
We examine the Schwarzschild interior of a black hole, incorporating quantum gravitational modifications due to loop quantum gravity. We consider an improved loop quantization using techniques that have proven successful in loop quantum…
We review here some of the major open issues and challenges in black hole physics today, and the current progress on the same. It is pointed out that to secure a concrete foundation for the basic theory as well as astrophysical applications…
We propose an alternative description of the Schwarzschild black hole based on the requirement that the solution be static not only outside the horizon but also inside it. As a consequence of this assumption, we are led to a change of…
In this paper we present an exact solution of Einstein's field equations describing the Schwarzschild black hole in dark energy background. It is also regarded as an embedded solution that the Schwarzschild black hole is embedded into the…
Classical general relativity predicts that a contracting, spherically symmetric matter system with a large-enough mass will result in the formation of a trapped region whose outer boundary is an apparent horizon where the gravitational…
The singularity structure of charged spherical collapse is studied by considering the evolution of the gravity-scalar field system. A detailed examination of the geometry at late times strongly suggests the validity of the mass-inflation…
