The problem of a thread whose extremity is beyond the Schwarzschild horizon is discussed. We present a new coordinate system allowing to write the Schwarzschild metric in all regions. The system of coordinates introduced appears to be…
In a comment published several years ago in this Journal [J. Math. Phys. 50, 042502 (2009)] Mitra has claimed to prove that a neutral point particle in general relativity as described by the Schwarzschild metric must have zero gravitational…
In these lectures we review the quantum physics of large Schwarzschild black holes. Hawking's information paradox, the theory of the stretched horizon and the principle of black hole complementarity are covered. We then discuss how the…
A point of view is presented, according to which, the well known picture with the Schwarzschild black hole in canonical general relativity is one in a whole class of conformal representations of the same physical situation, that are…
The relative flow of the Schwarzschild vs. the proper time during the classical evolution of a collapsing shell in the Schwarzschild coordinates practically forces us to interpret black hole formation as a highly non-local quantum process…
By performing a Taylor expansion along the extra dimension of a metric describing a black hole on a brane, we explore the influence of the embedding space on the black hole horizon. In particular, it is shown that the existence of a Kottler…
The supertranslated black hole proposed by Hawking, Perry, and Strominger might provide a resolution to the information paradox, which is usually defined by a complicated space-time metric with even less space-time symmetries compared to…
Modelling the free fall (and radiative phenomenology) of a massive particle, charged or not, in a static and spherically symmetric black hole is a classic, good relativistic dare that produced a remarkable series of papers, mainly in the…
I discuss a solution to the dark energy problem, which arises when the visible universe is approximated by a black hole, in a quasi-static asymptotically-flat approximation. Using data, provided by WMAP7, I calculate the Schwarzschild…
Based on the hidden conformal symmetry, some authors have proposed a Harrison metric for the Schwarzschild black hole. We give a procedure which can generate a family of Harrison metrics starting from a general set of SL(2, R) vector…
Using the synchronous coordinates, the creation of a Schwarzschild black hole immersed in a de Sitter spacetime can be viewed as a coherent creation of a collection of timelike geodesics. The previously supposed conical singularities do not…
Now that English translations of Schwarzschild's original paper exist, that paper has become accessible to more people. Historically, the so-called "standard Schwarzschild solution" was not the original Schwarzschild's work, but it is…
We provide the first example of a geometric transition that resolves the Schwarzschild black hole into a smooth microstructure in eleven-dimensional supergravity on a seven-torus. The geometry is indistinguishable from a Schwarzschild black…
The Kruskal - Szekeres (KS) completion of the Schwarzschild spacetime is open to Synge's methodological criticism that the KS procedure generates "good" coordinates from "bad". This is addressed here in two ways: First I generate the KS…
The new solution of the Einstein equations in empty space is presented. The solution is constructed using Schwarzschild solution but essentially differs from it. The basic properties of the solution are: the existence of a horizon which is…
We give a full metric describing the gravitational field of a static and axisymmetric thin disk without radial pressure encircling a Schwarzschild black hole. The disk density profiles are astrophysically realistic, stretching from the…
Solutions to low energy string theory describing black holes and black strings are reviewed. Many of these solutions can be obtained by applying simple solution generating transformations to the Schwarzschild metric. In a few cases, the…
The image of a black hole (BH) consists of direct and secondary images that depend on the observer position. We investigate the optical appearance of a Schwarzschild BH in the context of a string cloud to reveal how the BH's observable…
A Schwarzschild type solution in Regge calculus is considered. Earlier, we considered a mechanism of loose fixing of edge lengths due to the functional integral measure arising from integration over connection in the functional integral for…
We continue to study the response of black-hole space-times on the presence of additional strong sources of gravity. Restricting ourselves to static and axially symmetric (electro-)vacuum exact solutions of Einstein's equations, we first…
