We have investigated the classical stability of charged black $D3$-branes in type IIB supergravity under small perturbations. For s-wave perturbations it turns out that black $D3$-branes are unstable when they have small charge density. As…
Five and six dimensional static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically Euclidean black holes, are unstable under gravitational perturbations if their mass is lower than a critical value set by the string tension. The instability is due to…

The presented thesis is devoted to the study of instabilities of compact objects within the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory. This theory includes higher-order corrections in curvature, which are inspired by the low energy limit of string…
Rotating hairy black holes (RHBHs) are axisymmetric equilibrium solutions of the Einstein--Klein--Gordon equations, consisting of a spinning black hole surrounded by a toroidal distribution of complex scalar field. Despite their potential…
We show that homogeneous black strings of third-order Lovelock theory are unstable under s-wave perturbations. This analysis is done in dimension $D=9$, which is the lowest dimension that allows the existence of homogeneous black strings in…
We propose and demonstrate a new and efficient approach to investigate black hole dynamics in the limit of large number of dimensions $D$. The basic idea is that an asymptotically flat black brane evolving under the Gregory-Laflamme…
We produce the first concrete evidence that violation of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture can occur in asymptotically flat spaces of five dimensions by numerically evolving perturbed black rings. For certain thin rings, we identify a…
