We investigate the motion of extended test objects in the Schwarzschild spacetime, particularly the radial fall of two point masses connected by a massless rod of a length given as a fixed, periodic function of time. We argue that such a…

We prove under certain weak assumptions a black hole no-hair theorem in spherically symmetric spacetimes for self-gravitating time-dependent multiple scalar fields with an arbitrary target space admitting a Killing field with a non-empty…

We consider a broad class of static, spherically symmetric generalized Schwarzschild-like solutions with multiple non-interacting anisotropic fluid sources and derive the coordinate transformation from Schwarzschild-like (curvature) to…

To define a free string by the Nambu-Goto action, all we need is the notion of area, and mathematically the area can be defined directly in the absence of a metric. Motivated by the possibility that string theory admits backgrounds where…

We introduce a new family of horizon-penetrating coordinate systems for the Schwarzschild black hole geometry featuring time coordinates that are Cauchy temporal functions for which the level sets are smooth, asymptotically flat, spacelike…

We present a characteristic algorithm for computing the perturbations of a Schwarzschild spacetime by means of solving the Teukolsky equations. Our methods and results are expected to have direct bearing on the study of binary black holes…

According to Birkhoff's theorem the only spherically symmetric solution of the vacuum Einstein field equations is the Schwarzschild solution. Inspite of imposing asymptotically flatness and staticness as initial conditions we obtain that…

We use the Kruskal time coordinate T to define the initial time. By this way, it naturally divides the stable study into one connected with the two regions: the white-hole-connected region and the black-hole-connected region. The union of…

The null string's equations of motion and constraints in the Kerr spacetime are given. We assume a generic ansatz for the null strings in the Kerr spacetime and we present the resulting solutions in quadratures. Some specific string…

We find a specific coordinate system that goes from the Painlev\'e-Gullstrand partial extension to the Kruskal-Szekeres maximal extension and thus exhibit the maximal extension of the Schwarzschild metric in a unified picture. We do this by…

We show that extremal black holes have zero entropy by pointing out a simple fact: they are time-independent throughout the spacetime and correspond to a single classical microstate. We show that non-extremal black holes, including the…

In Einstein gravity there is a simple procedure to build D-dimensional spacetimes starting from (D-1)-dimensional ones, by stacking any (D-1)-dimensional Ricci-flat metric into the extra-dimension. We analyze this procedure in the context…

We present a time-dependent uniform-density interior Schwarzschild solution, an exact solution to the Einstein field equations. Our solution describes the collapse (or the time-reversed expansion) of an object from an infinite radius to an…

The Schwarzschild solution has played a fundamental conceptual role in general relativity, and beyond, for instance, regarding event horizons, spacetime singularities and aspects of quantum field theory in curved spacetimes. However, one…
