Extremal charged black holes are BPS solutions. It is commonly thought that their nonextremal counterparts are not. Further, experience with BPS solutions in flat spacetime suggests that all BPS solutions are supersymmetric; i.e. that they…
We consider Lorentzian wormholes supported by a phantom field and threaded by non-trivial Yang-Mills fields, which may be regarded as hair on the Ellis wormhole. Like the Bartnik-McKinnon solutions and their associated hairy black holes,…
We present a new formulation of deriving Hawking temperature for near-extremal black holes using distributions. In this paper the near-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom and Kerr black holes are discussed. It is shown that the extremal solution as…
We obtain a family of exact solutions describing magnetized black holes in an external gravitational field. Locally the solutions can be interpreted as representing the near-horizon region of a black hole, which interacts with a surrounding…
We examine several aspects of black hole horizon physics using the Melvin-Kerr-Newman (MKN) family of spacetimes. Roughly speaking these are black holes immersed in a distorting background magnetic field and unlike the standard Kerr-Newman…
A $2p + 5$ parametric family of black holes is constructed in dilaton--axion gravity with $p$ vector fields using a holomorphic representation of U--duality in three dimensions. The metric of the non--extremal black holes has a…
It is proven that there are precisely $n$ odd-parity sphaleron-like unstable modes of the $n$-th Bartnik-McKinnon soliton and the $n$-th non-abelian black hole solution of the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory for the gauge group $SU(2)$.
We establish the black-hole Meissner effect for extremal Kerr--Bertotti--Robinson (Kerr--BR) black holes, which are exact solutions of the Einstein--Maxwell equations describing a rotating black hole immersed in a uniform Bertotti--Robinson…
We study 5-dimensional black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with free Chern-Simons coupling parameter. We consider an event horizon with spherical topology, and both angular momenta of equal magnitude. In particular, we study…
In the present paper the repulsion of two extreme Kerr black holes arising from their spin-spin interaction is analyzed within the framework of special subfamilies of the well-known Kinnersley-Chitre solution. The binary configurations of…
To have the correct picture of a black hole as a whole it is of crucial importance to understand its interior. The singularities that lurk inside the horizon of the usual Kerr-Newman family of black hole solutions signal an endpoint to the…
We consider solutions to the linear wave equation in the interior region of extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes. We show that, under suitable assumptions on the initial data, the solutions can be extended continuously beyond the…
Taking the extremal limit of a non-extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole (by externally varying the mass or charge), the region between the inner and outer event horizons experiences an interesting fate -- while this region is absent in…
It is shown that the non-Abelian black hole solutions have stationary generalizations which are parameterized by their angular momentum and electric Yang-Mills charge. In particular, there exists a non-static class of stationary black holes…
We consider Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black holes surrounded by quintessence where both a non-extremal event horizon and a cosmological horizon exist besides an inner horizon ($-1\leq \omega <-1/3$). We determine new extreme black hole…
The near horizon limit of the extreme nonlinear black hole is investigated. It is shown that resulting geometry belongs to the AdS2xS2 class with different modules of curvatures of subspaces and could be described in terms of the Lambert…
It is shown that the well-known non-Abelian static SU(2) black hole solutions have rotating generalizations, provided that the hypothesis of linearization stability is accepted. Surprisingly, this rotating branch has an asymptotically…
We investigate the black holes in the new massive conformal gravity which is not invariant under conformal transformations because of the presence of the Einstein-Hilbert term. First, we show that the small Schwarzschild black hole is…
We consider solutions to the linear wave equation in the interior region of extremal Kerr black holes. We show that axisymmetric solutions can be extended continuously beyond the Cauchy horizon and moreover that, if we assume suitably fast…
We construct regular and black hole solutions in SU(2) Einstein-Born-Infeld theory. These solutions have many features in common with the corresponding SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills solutions. In particular, sequences of neutral non-abelian…
