In holographic applications one can encounter scenarios where a long-wavelength instability can arise. In such situations, it is often the case that the dynamical end point of the instability is a new equilibrium phase with a nonlinear…
This paper investigates the global dynamics of the apparent horizon. We present an approach to establish its existence and its long-term behaviors. Our apparent horizon is constructed by solving the marginally outer trapped surface (MOTS)…
The present work is concerned with the stabilization of a general class of time-varying linear parabolic equations by means of a finite-dimensional receding horizon control (RHC). The stability and suboptimality of the unconstrained…
The Cahn-Hilliard and viscous Cahn-Hilliard equations with singular and possibly nonsmooth potentials and dynamic boundary condition are considered and some well-posedness and regularity results are proved. Key words: Cahn-Hilliard…
All axisymmetric solutions to the near-horizon geometry equation with a cosmological constant defined on a topological $2$-sphere were derived. The regularity conditions preventing cone singularity at the poles were accounted for. The…
We generalize the formulation of horizon symmetries presented in previous literature to include diffeomorphisms that can shift the location of the horizon. In the context of the AdS/CFT duality, we show that horizon symmetries can be…
We develop a linear-algebraic framework for dimensional analysis in systems with constraints, particularly when variables are numerous or related by implicit relations so that direct elimination is impractical. By expressing both…
We study static spherically symmetric solutions of high derivative gravity theories, with 4, 6, 8 and even 10 derivatives. Except for isolated points in the space of theories with more than 4 derivatives, only solutions that are nonsingular…
In a spacetime $(\mathcal{M},g)$, a horizon is a null hypersurface where the deformation tensor $\mathcal{K}:=\pounds_{\eta}g$ of a null and tangent vector $\eta$ satisfies certain restrictions. In this work, we develop a formalism to study…
We present an introduction to dynamical trapping horizons as quasi-local models for black hole horizons, from the perspective of an Initial Value Problem approach to the construction of generic black hole spacetimes. We focus on the…
We present techniques and methods for analyzing the dynamics of event horizons in numerically constructed spacetimes. There are three classes of analytical tools we have investigated. The first class consists of proper geometrical measures…
Symmetric non-expanding horizons are studied in arbitrary dimension. The global properties -as the zeros of infinitesimal symmetries- are analyzed particularly carefully. For the class of NEH geometries admitting helical symmetry a…
Apparent horizons are structures of spacelike hypersurfaces that can be determined locally in time. Closed surfaces of constant expansion (CE surfaces) are a generalisation of apparent horizons. I present an efficient method for locating CE…
A framework was recently introduced to generalize black hole mechanics by replacing stationary event horizons with isolated horizons. That framework is significantly extended. The extension is non-trivial in that not only do the boundary…
Based on the first-order action for scalar-tensor theories with the Immirzi parameter, the symplectic form for the spacetimes admitting a weakly isolated horizon as internal boundary is derived by the covariant phase space approach. The…
The problem of a disc and a ball rolling on a horizontal plane without slipping is considered. Differential constrained equations are shown to be integrated when the trajectory of the point of contact is taken in a form of the natural…

Mechanics of non-rotating black holes was recently generalized by replacing the static event horizons used in standard treatments with `isolated horizons.' This framework is extended to incorporate dilaton couplings. Since there can be…
