The event horizon of a black hole is arguably the most dramatic manifestation of the fact that in General Relativity, causal structure is dynamical and spacetimes can be separated into distinct regions by causal boundaries. Causal set…
In this paper we have studied particle collisions around a charged dilaton black hole in 2+1 dimensions. This black hole is a solution to the low energy string action in 2+1 dimensions. Time-like geodesics for charged particles are studied…
The (4+1) dimensional conformally flat Eisenhart geometry is investigated in this work, stressing the contribution of the stress tensor generating its curvature. The energy-momentum tensor $T^{a}_{~b}$ is traceless and has only one nonzero…
Geodesics are studied in one of the Weyl metrics, referred to as the M--Q solution. First, arguments are provided, supporting our belief that this space--time is the more suitable (among the known solutions of the Weyl family) for…
Black holes are objects that have a large mass and curve space time, characterized by their event horizon and singularity. Recently, an interesting concept of analogous black holes has emerged in the field of condensed matter physics. In…
We provide an exhaustive and illustrated classification of timelike and null geodesics in the near-horizon region of near-extremal Kerr black holes. The classification of polar motion extends to Kerr black holes of arbitrary spin. The…

Coalescing massive black hole binaries are produced by the mergers of galaxies. The final stages of the black hole coalescence produce strong gravitational radiation that can be detected by the space-borne LISA. In cases where the black…
We consider general radially moving frames realized in the background of nonextremal black holes having causal structure similar to that of the Schwarzschild metric. In doing so, we generalize the Lema\^{\i}tre approach, constructing…
We present a survey of the known cosmological and black hole solutions in ghost-free bigravity and massive gravity theories. These can be divided into three classes. First, there are solutions with proportional metrics, which are the same…
According to Penrose effect, particles with negative energy can exist in the ergospheres of rotating black holes. We analyze geodesics for such particles and show that there are no circular and elliptic orbits in the ergosphere of a…
On the basis of the Kerr metric as a model for a spinning black hole accreting test particles from rest at infinity, I show that the center-of-mass energy for a pair of colliding particles is generically divergent at the inner horizon. This…
In theories with derivative (self-)interactions, the propagation of perturbations on nontrivial field configurations is determined by effective metrics. Generalized scalar-tensor theories belong in this class and this implies that the…
We consider collision of two particles in the vicinity of the extremal acceleration horizon (charged or rotating) that includes the Bertotti-Robinson space-time and the geometry of the Kerr throat. It is shown that the energy in the centre…
Geodesic motion determines important features of spacetimes. Null unstable geodesics are closely related to the appearance of compact objects to external observers and have been associated with the characteristic modes of black holes. By…
We study the geodesic structure of the Korkina-Grigoryev spacetime. The corresponding metric is a generalization of the Schwarzschild geometry to the case involving a massless scalar field. We investigate the relation between the angular…
In this article the geodesic motion of test particles in the spacetime of a supersymmetric AdS$_5$ black hole is studied. The equations of motion are derived and solved in terms of the Weierstrass $\wp$, $\sigma$ and $\zeta$ functions.…
Event horizons are the defining physical features of black hole spacetimes, and are of considerable interest in studying black hole dynamics. Here, we reconsider three techniques to localise event horizons in numerical spacetimes:…
We present black hole uniqueness theorems for the C-metric and Ernst solution. The proof follows a similar strategy as that used to prove the uniqueness of the Kerr-Newman solution, however the presence of an acceleration horizon provides…
