Criteria for thermal stability of charged rotating black holes of any dimension are derived, for horizon areas that are large relative to the Planck area (in these dimensions). The derivation is based on generic assumptions of quantum…
As one of the consequences of the black-hole "no-hair" theorem in general relativity (GR), the multipolar structure of the radiation (i.e. different spherical harmonic modes) from a merging quasi-circular binary black hole (BBH) is fully…
We develop a search method for gravitational ringing of black holes. The gravitational ringing is due to complex frequency modes called the quasi-normal modes that are excited when a black hole geometry is perturbed. The detection of it…
In linear perturbation theory, the ringdown of a gravitational wave (GW) signal is described by a linear combination of quasinormal modes (QNMs). Detecting QNMs from GW signals is a promising way to test GR, central to the developing field…
The ringdown of a perturbed black hole (BH) can be described as a superposition of quasinormal modes (QNMs), whose frequencies are determined by the spacetime geometry while their amplitudes depend also on the perturbing source. However,…

We compute the dynamics of particles and strings falling into smooth horizonless spacetimes that match the Schwarzschild black hole but replace its horizon with a smooth cap in supergravity. The cap consists of a regular topological…
Newly formed black holes are expected to emit characteristic radiation in the form of quasi-normal modes, called ringdown waves, with discrete frequencies. LISA should be able to detect the ringdown waves emitted by oscillating supermassive…
Astrophysical black holes are embedded in surrounding dark and baryonic matter that can measurably perturb the spacetime. We construct a self-consistent spacetime describing a slowly rotating black hole embedded in an external matter…
We present a quantum theory of black hole (and other) horizons, in which the standard assumptions of complementarity are preserved without contradicting information theoretic considerations. After the scrambling time, the quantum mechanical…
The ringdown phase following a binary black hole coalescence is a powerful tool for measuring properties of the remnant black hole. Future gravitational wave detectors will increase the precision of these measurements and may be sensitive…
The quasi-normal mode (QNM) spectrum of black holes is unstable under small perturbation of the potential and has observational consequences in time signals. Such signals might be experimentally difficult to observe and probing this…
The gravitational wave strain emitted by a perturbed black hole (BH) ringing down is typically modeled analytically using first-order BH perturbation theory. In this Letter we show that second-order effects are necessary for modeling…
Black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetime provide an important testing ground for both gravitational and field-theoretic phenomena. In particular, the study of perturbations can be useful to further our understanding regarding certain…
The ringdown phase of a gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger offers a unique laboratory for testing general relativity in the strong-field regime and probing the properties of the final remnant black hole. In this…
Gravitational waves provide direct information about the nature of spacetime and the existence of black holes. The remnant of a binary black hole merger emits gravitational waves in the form of quasinormal modes, whose spectrum is known as…
The characteristic oscillations of black holes, as described by their quasinormal mode (QNM) spectrum, play a fundamental role in testing general relativity with gravitational waves. The so-called parametrized QNM framework was introduced…
We develop a class of regular black holes by prescribing finite curvature invariants and reconstructing the corresponding spacetime geometry. Two distinct approaches are employed: one based on the Ricci scalar and the other on the Weyl…
