The semi-classical Hawking evaporation process of Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes is analyzed. It is shown that this quantum mechanism may turn a near-extremal black-hole spacetime with $T_{\text{BH}}\lesssim \hbar^2/G^2M^3$ into an…
In this paper, we study the thermodynamical properties of the (2+1) dimensional black hole with a non-linear electrodynamics and with a negative cosmological constant, using the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP). This approach shows…
We examine the thermodynamics of a near-extremal Kerr black hole, and demonstrate that the geometry behaves as an ordinary quantum system with a vanishingly small degeneracy at low temperatures. This is in contrast with the classical…
An important open question in black hole thermodynamics is about the existence of a "mass gap" between an extremal black hole and the lightest near-extremal state within a sector of fixed charge. In this paper, we reliably compute the…
In this paper, we investigate the near-extremal thermodynamics of the Reissner-Nordstrom (RN) black hole. Our methodology is based on a duality that exists between the near-horizon geometry of the near-extremal RN sector and…
We discuss semiclassical states in quantum gravity corresponding to Schwarzschild as well as Reissner Nordstr\"om black holes. We show that reduced quantisation of these models is equivalent to Wheeler-DeWitt quantisation with a particular…
Nonextreme black hole in a cavity within the framework of the canonical or grand canonical ensemble can approach the extreme limit with a finite temperature measured on a boundary located at a finite proper distance from the horizon. In…
Black-hole quasinormal modes have been the subject of much recent attention, with the hope that these oscillation frequencies may shed some light on the elusive theory of quantum gravity. We study {\it analytically} the asymptotic…
A $2p + 5$ parametric family of black holes is constructed in dilaton--axion gravity with $p$ vector fields using a holomorphic representation of U--duality in three dimensions. The metric of the non--extremal black holes has a…
We revisit global existence and decay for small-data solutions of semilinear wave equations on extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole backgrounds satisfying the classical null condition, a problem which was previously addressed by the…
By considering a small correction to the Maxwell field, we show that the resultant black hole solutions (also known as the asymptotically Reissner--Nordstr\"{o}m black holes) undergo the reentrant phase transition and can have a novel phase…
Aiming to search for a signal of space-time noncommutativity, we study a quasinormal mode spectrum of the Reissner Nordstr\"om black hole in the presence of a deformed space-time structure. In this context we study a noncommutative (NC)…
We analyze the largely accepted formulas for the asymptotic quasi-normal frequencies of the non-extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole, (for the electromagnetic-gravitational/scalar perturbations). We focus on the question of whether the…
This thesis is focussed to study various aspects of black hole physics. Our approach is a semi-classical type, where the spacetime geometry of black holes is considered to be classical but the fields moving in the background are quantum in…
We study some physical properties of black holes in Null Aether Theory (NAT)--a vector-tensor theory of gravity. We first review the black hole solutions in NAT and then derive the first law of black hole thermodynamics. The temperature of…
The thermodynamics of black holes is reformulated within the context of the recently developed formalism of geometrothermodynamics. This reformulation is shown to be invariant with respect to Legendre transformations, and to allow several…
Zero temperature black hole solutions to the semiclassical backreaction equations are investigated. Evidence is provided that certain components of the stress-energy tensors for free quantum fields at the horizon only depend on the local…
Using sophisticated string theory calculations, Maldacena and Susskind have intriguingly shown that near-extremal black holes are characterized by a {\it finite} mass gap above the corresponding zero-temperature (extremal) black-hole…
Extremal black holes are studied in a two dimensional model motivated by a dimensional reduction from four dimensions. Their quantum corrected geometry is calculated semiclassically and a mild singularity is shown to appear at the horizon.…
We derive novel black hole solutions in a modified gravity theory, namely the Hu-Sawicki model of $f(R)$ gravity. After obtaining the black hole solution, we study the horizon radius of the black hole from the metric and then analyse the…
