We analyze the global structure of a family of Einstein-Maxwell solutions parametrized by mass, charge and cosmological constant. In a qualitative classification there are: (i) generic black-hole solutions, describing a Wheeler wormhole in…
A general formulation of the basic conflict of the information problem is given, encapsulated in a "black hole theorem." This is framed in a more general context than the usual one of quantum field theory on a background, and is based on…
We investigate the quantum evolution of large black holes that nucleate spontaneously in de Sitter space. By numerical computation in the s-wave and one-loop approximations, we verify claims that such black holes can initially…
We present a necessary and sufficient condition for an object of any mass m to be a quantum black hole (q.b.h.): The product of the cosmological constant lambda and the Planck constant h, lambda and h corresponding to the scale defined by…
We generalize the superposition principle for time-symmetric initial data of black hole spacetimes to (anti-)de Sitter cosmologies in terms of an eigenvalue problem $\Delta_g\phi={1/8}(R_g-2\Lambda)\phi$ for a conformal scale $\phi$ applied…
A universe described by braneworlds is studied in a cyclic scenario. As expected such an oscillating universe will undergo turnarounds, whenever the phantom energy density reaches a critical value from either side. It is found that a…
We study the spherically symmetric collapse of a real, minimally coupled, massive scalar field in an asymptotically Einstein-de Sitter spacetime background. By means of an eikonal approximation for the field and metric functions, we obtain…
The production of gravitational vacuum defects and their contribution in energy density of the Universe are discussed. These topological microstructures could be produced as the result of defect creation of the Universe from "nothing" as…
Einstein's equations are known to lead to the formation of black holes and spacetime singularities. This appears to be a manifestation of the mathematical phenomenon of finite-time blowup: a formation of singularities from regular initial…
Based on the formulated and proven similarity properties of cosmological models based on a statistical system of degenerate scalarly charged fermions, as well as the previously identified mechanism of scalar-gravitational instability of…
We discuss the interior of a black hole in quantum gravity, in which black holes form and evaporate unitarily. The interior spacetime appears in the sense of complementarity because of special features revealed by the microscopic degrees of…
A family of spacetimes suitable for describing the interior of a non-rotational black hole is constructed. The stress-energy tensor is that of a spherically symmetric vacuum, as commonly assumed nowadays. The problem of matching the…
In the de Sitter-invariant approach to gravitation, all solutions to the gravitational field equations are spacetimes that reduce locally to de Sitter. Consequently, besides including an event horizon, the de Sitter-invariant black hole…
New general spherically symmetric solutions have been derived with a cosmological "constant" \Lambda as a source. This \Lambda field is not constant but it satisfies the properties of the asymptotically safe gravity at the ultraviolet fixed…
Based on the previously formulated theory of spherical perturbations in the cosmological medium of self-gravitating scalarly charged fermions with the Higgs scalar interaction and the similarity properties of such models, the formation of…
In a previous paper, we studied the interior solution of a collapsing body in a non-local theory of gravity super-renormalizable at the quantum level. We found that the classical singularity is replaced by a bounce, after which the body…
It has been proposed that the accelerated expansion of the universe can be explained by the merging of our universe with baby universes, resulting in dark energy with a phantom-like equation of state. However, the evidence in favor of it…
Solutions of Einstein's equations are found for global defects in a higher-dimensional spacetime with a nonzero cosmological constant Lambda. The defect has a (p-1)-dimensional core (brane) and a `hedgehog' scalar field configuration in the…
General Relativity allows for a cosmological constant ($\Lambda$) which has inspired models of cosmic Inflation and Dark Energy. We show instead that $r_\Lambda = \sqrt{3/\Lambda}$ corresponds to an event horizon: a causal boundary term in…
We discuss status of the singularity problem in General Relativity and argue that the requirement that a physical solution must be completely free of singularities may be too strong. As an example, we consider properties of the integrable…
