In this paper we study the stationary horizons of the rotating black ring and the supersymmetric black ring spacetimes in five dimensions. In the case of the rotating black ring we use Weyl aligned null directions to algebraically classify…

We consider a spherically symmetric line element which admits either a black hole geometry or a wormhole geometry and show that in both cases the apparent horizon or the wormhole throat is partially characterized by the zero-set of a single…

We discuss black hole spacetimes with a geometrically defined quasi-local horizon on which the curvature tensor is algebraically special relative to the alignment classification. Based on many examples and analytical results, we conjecture…

Through gravitational decoupling using the extended minimal geometric deformation, a new family of static and rotating ``hairy'' black holes is provided. The background of these models is a generic Schwarzschild metric containing as special…

We present a quasi-local, functional analytic method to locate and invariantly characterize the stationary limit surfaces of black hole spacetimes with stationary regions. The method is based on ellipticity-hyperbolicity transitions of the…

Stationary black holes in 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory possess surprising properties. When considering the Chern-Simons coefficient $\lambda$ as a parameter, two critical values of $\lambda$ appear: the supergravity…

All black holes (BHs) in nature are expected to be described by the Kerr vacuum solution of general relativity (GR). However, the Kerr BH interior contains several problematic features such as a Cauchy horizon, a curvature singularity, and…

We propose a simple method to prove non-smoothness of a black hole horizon. The existence of a $C^1$ extension across the horizon implies that there is no $C^{N + 2}$ extension across the horizon if some components of $N$-th covariant…

We analyse properties of general stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes, with a particular focus on circularity -- an accidental symmetry enjoyed by the Kerr metric, and therefore widely assumed when searching for rotating black hole…

We obtain the Kerr-anti-de-sitter (Kerr-AdS) and Kerr-de-sitter (Kerr-dS) black hole (BH) solutions to the Einstein field equation in the perfect fluid dark matter background using the Newman-Janis method and Mathematica package. We discuss…

Unruh-DeWitt particle detector models are studied in a variety of time-dependent and time-independent settings. We work within the framework of first-order perturbation theory and couple the detector to a massless scalar field. The…

We study static black holes in quadratic gravity with planar and hyperbolic symmetry and non-extremal horizons. We obtain a solution in terms of an infinite power-series expansion around the horizon, which is characterized by two…
