We give an exact description of the steady flow of a black string into a planar horizon. The event horizon is out of equilibrium and provides a simple, exact instance of a `flowing black funnel' in any dimension D>=5. It is also an…
We present a quantum theory of black hole (and other) horizons, in which the standard assumptions of complementarity are preserved without contradicting information theoretic considerations. After the scrambling time, the quantum mechanical…
We explore the possibility that spacetime horizons in 4D general relativity can be treated as manifestations of higher dimensions that induce fields on our 4D spacetime. In this paper we discuss the black hole event horizon, as an example…
The interplay between a dS black hole and cosmological horizons introduces distinctive thermodynamic behavior in a dS spacetime (for example the well-known upper bounds of mass and entropy in Class. Quant. Grav. 37 (2020) 5). Based on this…
In this paper, we take into account black hole solutions of Brans-Dicke-Maxwell theory and investigate their stability and phase transition points. We apply the concept of geometry in thermodynamics to obtain phase transition points and…
We provide an explicit construction of classical strings that have endpoints on the horizons of the 2D Lorentzian black hole. We argue that this is a dual description of geodesics that are localized around the horizon which are the…
We present what we believe is the first example of a "$\lambda$-line" phase transition in black hole thermodynamics. This is a line of (continuous) second order phase transitions which in the case of liquid $^4$He marks the onset of…
The supermassive black holes found at the centers of galaxies are often surrounded by dense star clusters. The ages of these clusters are generally longer than the resonant-relaxation time and shorter than the two-body relaxation time over…
We place further restriction on the possible topology of stationary asymptotically flat vacuum black holes in 5 spacetime dimensions. We prove that the horizon manifold can be either a connected sum of Lens spaces and "handles" $S^1 \times…
Black hole spacetimes contain several geometrically distinguished hypersurfaces, including event and Cauchy horizons, stationary-limit surfaces, curvature singularities, and asymptotic infinity. These structures are usually identified by…
Two global symmetries are holo-equivalent if their algebras of local symmetric operators are isomorphic. Holo-equivalent classes of global symmetries are classified by gappable-boundary topological orders (TO) in one higher dimension…
Using a holographic proposal for the entanglement entropy we study its behavior in various supergravity backgrounds. We are particularly interested in the possibility of using the entanglement entropy as way to detect transitions induced by…
The Topological Hypothesis states that phase transitions should be related to changes in the topology of configuration space. The necessity of such changes has already been demonstrated. We characterize exactly the topology of the…
For arbitrary static space-times, it is shown that an equilibrium between a Killing horizon and matter is only possible for some discrete values of the parameter $w = p_1/\rho$, where $\rho$ is the density and $p_1$ is pressure in the…
We discuss different kinds of Killing horizons possible in static, spherically symmetric configurations and recently classified as "usual", "naked" and "truly naked" ones depending on the near-horizon behavior of transverse tidal forces…
We study the tunneling of massless scalars across black hole horizons in any number of spacetime dimensions greater than three. Our analysis finds that corrections due to backreaction and the inverse dimensional expansion are naturally…
Certain geometric properties of submanifolds of configuration space are numerically investigated for classical lattice phi^4 models in one and two dimensions. Peculiar behaviors of the computed geometric quantities are found only in the…
This paper considers the nature of apparent horizons for astrophysical black hole situated in a realistic cosmological context. Using semi-tetrad covariant methods we study the local evolutions of the boundaries of the trapped region in the…
We study phase structures of Lorentzian Dyonic Taub-NUT-AdS spacetimes for different horizon geometries, which are spherical, flat, and hyperbolic. We check the consistency of our extended thermodynamics approach through satisfying the…
We simulate the gravitational dynamics of the conifold geometries (resolved and deformed) involved in the description of certain compact spacetimes. As the cycles of the conifold collapse towards a singular geometry we find that a horizon…
