The frozen star is a non-singular, ultracompact object that, to an external observer, looks exactly like a Schwarzschild black hole, but with a different interior geometry and matter composition. The frozen star needs to be sourced by an…
We discuss simple vacuum solutions to the Einstein Equations in five dimensional space-times compactified in two different ways. In such spaces, one black hole phase and more then one black string phase may exist. Several old metrics are…

It is argued that the nonintegrably singular energy density of the electron's electromagnetic field (in both the classical point-charge model and quantum electrodynamics) must entail very strong self-gravitational effects, which, via black…
The asymptotic form of the energy density for a gas of particles surrounding a sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is studied using Einstein's equations. It is shown that if the pressure of the gas $p$ varies linearly with the energy density…
