We investigate the gravitational collapse of a non-rotating $n$-dimensional BTZ black hole in AdS space in the context of both classical and quantum mechanics. This is done by first deriving the conserved mass of a "spherically" symmetric…
Two-dimensional matterless dilaton gravity with arbitrary dilatonic potential can be discussed in a unitary way, both in the Lagrangian and canonical frameworks, by introducing suitable field redefinitions. The new fields are directly…

We discuss the most general effective Lagrangian obtained from the assumption that the degrees of freedom to be quantized, in a black hole, are on the horizon. The effective Lagrangian depends only on the induced metric and the extrinsic…
In this paper, we focus on massive Einstein-dilaton gravity including the coupling of dilaton scalar field to massive graviton terms, and then derive static and spherically symmetric solutions of dilatonic black holes in four dimensional…
An exact time-dependent solution of a black hole is found in conformally invariant gravity on a warped Randall-Sundrum spacetime, by writing the metric $g_{\mu\nu}=\omega^{\frac{4}{n-2}}\tilde g_{\mu\nu}$. Here $\tilde g_{\mu\nu}$…

Taking advantage of the representation of dilatonic gravity with the $R^2$-term under the form of low-derivative dilatonic gravity coupled to an additional scalar, we construct a general renormalizable model motivated by this theory. Exact…
We consider a Hamiltonian quantum theory of stationary spacetimes containing a Kerr-Newman black hole. The physical phase space of such spacetimes is just six-dimensional, and it is spanned by the mass $M$, the electric charge $Q$ and…
General 2d dilaton theories, containing spherically symmetric gravity and hence the Schwarzschild black hole as a special case, are quantized by an exact path integral of their geometric (Cartan-) variables. Matter, represented by minimally…
We consider the spacetime geometry of a static but otherwise generic black hole (that is, the horizon geometry and topology are not necessarily spherically symmetric). It is demonstrated, by purely geometrical techniques, that the curvature…
A large class of solvable models of dilaton gravity in two space-time dimensions, capable of describing black hole geometry, are analyzed in a unified way as non-linear sigma models possessing a special symmetry. This symmetry, which can be…

We analyze the rather unusual properties of some exact solutions in 2D dilaton gravity for which infinite quantum stresses on the Killing horizon can be compatible with regularity of the geometry. In particular, the Boulware state can…
Within the first order formalism static solutions of generic dilaton gravity in 2D with self-interacting (scalar) matter can be discussed with ease. The question of (non)existence of Killing horizons is addressed and the interplay with…
