In this paper, we focus on massive Einstein-dilaton gravity including the coupling of dilaton scalar field to massive graviton terms, and then derive static and spherically symmetric solutions of dilatonic black holes in four dimensional…
Space-like branes or S-branes are certain class of time dependent solutions of M/string theories having isometries ISO(p+1) $\times$ SO(d-p-2,1), where $d=11,10$ respectively and have singularities at t=0. In \cite{Roy:2006du}, we found…
This paper describes the connection between scattering matrices on conformally compact asymptotically Einstein manifolds and conformally invariant objects on their boundaries at infinity. The conformally invariant powers of the Laplacian…
The problem of asymptotic density of quantum states of fundamental extended objects is revised in detail. We argue that in the near-extremal regime the fundamental $p$-brane approach can yield a microscopic interpretation of the black hole…
We quantize the spherically symmetric sector of generic charged black holes. Thermal properties are encorporated by imposing periodicity in Euclidean time, with period equal to the inverse Hawking temperature of the black hole. This leads…
We report on some advances made in the problem of singularities in general relativity. First is introduced the singular semi-Riemannian geometry for metrics which can change their signature (in particular be degenerate). The standard…
We present a class of non-asymptotically flat (NAF) charged black p-branes (BpB) with p-compact dimensions in higher dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills theory. Asymptotically the NAF structure manifests itself as an anti-de-sitter spacetime.…
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 develop the effective worldvolume theory for the dynamics of black branes with charges of the kind that arise in many supergravities and low-energy limits of string theory. Using this theory, we construct numerous new rotating black…
We construct multi-center solutions for charged, dilatonic, non-extremal black holes in D=4. When an infinite array of such non-extremal black holes are aligned periodically along an axis, the configuration becomes independent of this…
We construct odd-dimensional extremal charged black hole solutions with a twisted S^1 as an extra dimension on generalized Euclidean Taub-NUT spaces. There exists a null hypersurface where an expansion for an outgoing null geodesic…
A maximally rotating Kerr black hole is said to be extremal. In this paper we introduce the corresponding restrictions for isolated and dynamical horizons. These reduce to the standard notions for Kerr but in general do not require the…
In this paper we, first, present a class of charged rotating solutions in four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity with zero and Liouville-type potentials. We find that these solutions can present a black hole/string with two…
How to describe a black hole embedded in an expanding universe is an important topic. Some models about this issue are suggested by assuming that the metric is a conformal transformation of the Schwarzschild metric or of the isotropic black…
The plot of allowed p and D values for p-brane solitons in D-dimensional supergravity is the same whether the solitons are extremal or non-extremal. One of the useful tools for relating different points on the plot is vertical dimensional…
We examine duality transformations of supersymmetric and $\kappa$-symmetric Dp-brane actions in a general type II supergravity background where in particular the dilaton and the axion are supposed to not be zero or a constant but a general…
It is shown that the generalized (with nonpolynomial Lagrangian) Chern-Simons membranes and in general $p$-branes moving in $D$-dimensional target space admit an infinite set of secondary constraints. With respect to the Poisson bracket…
New charged solutions describing black holes with squashed horizons in 5D dilaton gravity are presented. The black hole spacetimes are asymptotically locally flat and have a spacial infinity $R\times S^1\hookrightarrow S^2$. The solutions…
It is a common belief that a theory of quantum gravity should ultimately cure curvature singularities which are inevitable within General Relativity, and plague for instance the Schwarzschild and Kerr metrics, usually considered as…
