We discuss the existence, stability and classical thermodynamics of four-dimensional, spherically symmetric black hole solutions of the Einstein equations with a conformally coupled scalar field. We review the solutions existing in the…
We find static spherically symmetric solutions of scale invariant $R^2$ gravity. The latter has been shown to be equivalent to General Relativity with a positive cosmological constant and a scalar mode. Therefore, one expects that solutions…
Black holes represent outstanding astrophysical laboratories to test the strong gravity regime, since alternative theories of gravity may predict black hole solutions whose may differ distinctly from those of General Relativity. When higher…

A complex scalar field on a charged black hole in a cavity is known to experience a superradiant instability. We investigate possible final states of this instability. We find hairy black hole solutions of a fully coupled system of Einstein…
A Lifshitz point is described by a quantum field theory with anisotropic scale invariance (but not Galilean invariance). In arXiv:0808.1725, gravity duals were conjectured for such theories. We construct analytically a black hole which…
Some of the theoretical challenges posed by the general relativistic description of binary systems of compact objects (neutron stars or black holes) are reviewed. We recall the various ways one can use the theory of the motion, and of the…
What is going on (as of August 2008) at the interface between theoretical general relativity, string-inspired models, and observational astrophysics? Quite a lot. In this mini-survey I will make a personal choice and focus on four specific…
We present new black hole solutions to the low-energy effective action of string theory. We introduce three- and four-dimensional solutions that are rotating, asymptotically flat, and exhibit a linear dilaton vacuum. We also introduce…
We consider Einstein gravity coupled to two Maxwell fields and one dilatonic scalar, and construct spherically-symmetric and static black holes that are charged under both Maxwell fields in general $D$ dimensions. We find that for suitable…
We prove a theorem that characterizes a large family of non-static solutions to Einstein equations in $N$-dimensional space-time, representing, in general, spherically symmetric Type II fluid. It is shown that the best known Vaidya-based…
A class of metrics solving Einstein's equations with negative cosmological constant and representing rotating, topological black holes is presented. All such solutions are in the Petrov type-$D$ class, and can be obtained from the most…
The last three years have again seen new exciting developments in the area of higher dimensional black objects. For black objects with noncompact higher dimensions, the solution space was exlored further within the blackfold approach and…
In the context of $f(R)$ theories of gravity, we address the problem of finding static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions. Several aspects of constant curvature solutions with and without electric charge are discussed. We also…
All known five dimensional, asymptotically flat, static black rings possess conical singularities. However, there is no fundamental obstruction forbidding the existence of balanced configurations, and we show that the Einstein--Klein-Gordon…
We construct several charged regular black hole metrics employing mass distribution functions which are inspired by continuous probability distributions. Some of these metrics satisfy the weak energy condition and asymptotically behave as…
We construct a Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation for charged black holes in a d-dimensional maximally symmetric spherical space. By considering first new variables that give raise to an interesting dimensional reduction of the problem,…
We consider a five-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet model, which gives rise after dimensional reduction to Einstein gravity nonminimally coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics. The black hole solutions of the four-dimensional model modify…
Within the context of nonlinear electromagnetism we consider the Yukawa extension of a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole. Exact solution is given which modifies certain characteristics of the latter. Some thermodynamical aspects are given…
These lectures review some of the recent progress in uncovering the phase structure of black hole solutions in higher-dimensional vacuum Einstein gravity. The two classes on which we focus are Kaluza-Klein black holes, i.e. static solutions…
