We investigate the spherically-symmetric gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field in the framework of a type-II minimally modified gravity theory called VCDM. This theory propagates only two local physical degrees of freedom…
A physical interpretation of the C-metric with a negative cosmological constant $\Lambda$ is suggested. Using a convenient coordinate system it is demonstrated that this class of exact solutions of Einstein's equations describes uniformly…
The C-metric is one of few known exact solutions of Einstein's field equations which describes the gravitational field of moving sources. For a vanishing or positive cosmological constant, the C-metric represents two accelerated black holes…
