It is has been long known that the curved space in the presence of gravitation can be described as a non-homogeneous anisotropic medium in flat geometry with different constitutive equations. In this article, we show that the…

The full quantum mechanical collapse of a small relativistic dust shell is studied analytically, asymptotically and numerically starting from the exact finite dimensional classical reduced Hamiltonian recently derived by H\'aj{\'\i}\v{c}ek…
In this paper, we investigate the numerical solutions for spherically symmetric situations in Einstein cubic gravity. In addition to the previously found black hole solutions, we uncover a new class of solutions that lack horizons. Due to…
A class of nonstationary spacetimes is obtained by means of a conformal transformation of the Schwarzschild metric, where the conformal factor $a(t)$ is an arbitrary function of the time coordinate only. We investigate several situations…
We present a quantum optics treatment of the near horizon behaviour of a quantum oscillator freely-falling into a pre-existing Schwarzschild black hole. We use Painleve-Gullstrand coordinates to define a global vacuum state. In contrast to…
We study numerically the effects of loop quantum gravity motivated corrections on massless scalar field collapse in Painlev\'e-Gullstrand coordinates. Near criticality, the system exhibits Choptuik scaling with the added features of a mass…
A quantum vacuum, represented by a viscous fluid, is added to the Einstein vacuum, surrounding a spherical distribution of mass. This gives as a solution, in spherical coordinates, a Schwarzschild-like metric. The plot of g00 and g11…
We have obtained an exact vacuum solution from a gravity sector contained in the minimal standard-model extension. The theoretical model assumes a Riemann spacetime coupled to the bumblebee field which is responsible for the spontaneous…
In this work, we investigate black hole (BH) physics in the context of quantum corrections. These quantum corrections were introduced recently by replacing classical geodesics with quantal (Bohmian) trajectories and hence form a quantum…
In this paper we shall discuss the backreaction of a massive quantum scalar field on the curvature, the latter treated as a classical field. Furthermore, we shall deal with this problem in the realm of cosmological spacetimes by analyzing…
In this paper, we continue the analysis of the effective model of quantum Schwarzschild black holes recently proposed by some of the authors in [1,2]. In the resulting spacetime the central singularity is resolved by a black-to-white hole…
In the spirit of the Newtonian theory, we characterize spherically symmetric empty space in general relativity in terms of energy density measured by a static observer and convergence density experienced by null and timelike congruences. It…
In this work we explore the possibility of quantum bound states in a Schwarzschild gravitational field leveraging the analogy of the elementary derivation of bound states in the Coulomb potential as taught in an undergraduate course in…
Classical energy conditions are investigated in generic static and spherically symmetric spacetimes. In setups with nonconstant $g_{tt} g_{rr}$, the appearance of horizons can signal the violation of the null energy condition and the…
We consider a Hamiltonian theory of spherically symmetric vacuum Einstein gravity under Kruskal-like boundary conditions in variables associated with the Einstein-Rosen wormhole throat. The configuration variable in the reduced classical…
Spacetime metrics describing `non-singular' black holes are commonly studied in the literature as effective modification to the Schwarzschild solution that mimic quantum gravity effects removing the central singularity. Here we point out…
We apply techniques recently introduced in quantum cosmology to the Schwarzschild metric inside the horizon and near the black hole singularity at r = 0. In particular, we use the quantization introduced by Husain and Winkler, which is…
We investigate the gravitational collapse of a non-rotating $n$-dimensional BTZ black hole in AdS space in the context of both classical and quantum mechanics. This is done by first deriving the conserved mass of a "spherically" symmetric…
