This paper investigates the structure of gravitational singularities at the level of the connection. We show in particular that for FLRW spacetimes with particle horizons a local holonomy, which is related to a gravitational energy, becomes…

In general relativity, nonsingular black holes contain (at least) a Cauchy horizon, a null hypersurface beyond which determinism breaks down. Even though the strong cosmic censorship conjecture establishes the impossibility of extending…

Given a characteristic initial value problem with smooth data representing a dynamical event horizon settling down to that of Kerr in the subextremal, strictly rotating range with suitable upper and lower bounds, we prove that a weak null…

It is widely expected that generic black holes have a non-empty but weakly singular Cauchy horizon, due to mass inflation. Indeed this has been proven by the author in the spherical collapse of a charged scalar field, under decay…

Motivated by weak null singularities in black hole interiors, we study 1+1 dimensional Lorentzian manifolds $(M,g)$ which admit a continuous spacetime extension across a null boundary $v=0$, where $v<0$ is a null coordinate. We study the…

We consider solutions of the Einstein vacuum equations which arise from smooth initial data on a hypersurface slightly inside a dynamical black hole settling down to a subextremal Kerr black hole, and satisfying a precise non-linear Price's…

We construct a new class of plane-symmetric solutions possessing a curvature singularity which is null and weak, like the spacetime singularity at the Cauchy horizon of spinning (or charged) black holes. We then analyse the stability of…

We show explicitly, for different types of extremal black holes, that test fields satisfying the null energy condition at the event horizon cannot violate the weak cosmic censorship conjecture. This is done by checking, in each case, that…

In this paper we propose a weaker version of Penrose's much heeded Strong Cosmic Censorship (SCC) conjecture, asserting inextentability of maximal Cauchy developments by manifolds with Lipschitz continuous Lorentzian metrics and Riemann…

In this paper, we test the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) in the nearly extremal static charged black holes of Lanczos-Lovelock-Maxwell gravity based on the new version of gedanken experiments proposed by Sorce and Wald. After…

We examine the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) for the extremal charged black hole in possible generalizations of Einstein-Maxwell theory due to the higher order corrections, up to fourth-derivative terms. Our derivation is based…

In this work, we use the weak cosmic censorship conjecture(WCC) to constrain black hole solutions in modified gravity theories. While Wald showed that extremal Kerr-Newman black holes in general relativity cannot be overcharged by test…

We examine the $C^{0}$-formulation of the strong cosmic censorship conjecture (SCC) from a quantum complexity-theoretic perspective and argue that for generic black hole parameters as initial conditions for the Einstein equations,…

In this paper, we wish to investigate the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) for the non black hole object, Buchdahl star and test its validity. It turns out that the extremal limit for the star is over-extremal for black hole,…

We review the status of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture, which asserts, in essence, that all singularities of gravitational collapse are hidden within black holes. Although little progress has been made toward a general proof (or…

It was long believed that the singularity inside a realistic, rotating black hole must be spacelike. However, studies of the internal geometry of black holes indicate a more complicated structure is typical. While it seems likely that an…
