The McVittie metric does not describe a physical black hole in an expanding Universe because the curvature scalar and pressure at its event horizon are infinite. We show that extending this metric to an inhomogeneous scale factor, which…
An exact and analytical solution, in four-dimensional general relativity, describing a collinear array of an arbitrary number of Kerr black holes inside an expanding bubble of nothing is built, thanks to the inverse scattering technique.…
We study the wave equation for a stationary Lorentzian metric in the case of two space dimensions. Assuming that the metric has a singularity of the appropriate form, surrounded by an ergosphere which is a smooth Jordan curve, we prove the…
We consider a globally hyperbolic, stationary spacetime containing a black hole but no white hole. We assume, further, that the event horizon, $\tn$, of the black hole is a Killing horizon with compact cross-sections. We prove that if…
The double copy of the Coulomb solution in three dimensions is a non-vacuum solution that can be obtained through different matter couplings. It is the static black hole solution of Einstein-Maxwell theory or general relativity minimally…
It is shown that for small, spherically symmetric perturbations of asymptotically flat two-ended Reissner-Nordstr\"om data for the Einstein-Maxwell-real scalar field system, the boundary of the dynamic spacetime which evolves is globally…
We consider the decoherence of a black hole "Schr\"odinger cat"- a non-local superposition of a Schwarzschild black hole in two distinct locations - due to the Hawking radiation it inevitably emits. An environment interacting with a system…
The theory of massive gravity in three dimensions recently proposed by Bergshoeff, Hohm and Townsend (BHT) is considered. At the special case when the theory admits a unique maximally symmetric solution, a conformally flat space that…
We show that -- in the framework of general relativity (GR) -- if black holes (BHs) are singularity-free objects, they couple to the large-scale cosmological dynamics. We find that the leading contribution to the resulting growth of the BH…
Classical general relativity predicts a singularity at the center of a black hole, where known laws of physics break down. This suggests the existence of deeper, yet unknown principles of Nature. Among various theoretical possibilities, one…
A pedagogical discussion is given of some aspects of \lq\lq quantum black holes", primarily using recently developed two-dimensional models. After a short preliminary concerning classical black holes, we give several motivations for…
A comprehensive analysis of small fluctuations about two-dimensional string-theoretic and string-inspired black holes is presented. It is shown with specific examples that two-dimensional black holes behave in a radically different way from…
A general dilaton gravity theory in 1+1 spacetime dimensions with a cosmological constant $\lambda$ and a new dimensionless parameter $\omega$, contains as special cases the constant curvature theory of Teitelboim and Jackiw, the theory…
A charged, non-rotating, spherically symmetric black hole which has cosmological constant $\Lambda$ (Reissner-Nordstr\"om+$\Lambda$ or RN+$\Lambda$), active gravitational mass $M$ and electric charge $Q$ is studied with exterior…
The recent detection of gravitational waves from black hole coalescences and the first image of the black hole shadow enhance the possibilities of testing gravitational theories in the strong-field regime. In this paper, we study the…
The formation and quantum mechanical evaporation of black holes in two spacetime dimensions can be studied using effective classical field equations, recently introduced by Callan {\it et al.} We find that gravitational collapse always…
Nonrotating and rotating black hole soltuions in (2+1) dimensions are studied in a model including a real scalar field with a simple potential coupled to gravity.
Following earlier works on the KMY model of black-hole formation and evaporation, we construct the metric for a matter sphere in gravitational collapse, with the back-reaction of pre-Hawking radiation taken into consideration. The mass…
Astrophysical black holes (BHs) are universally expected to be described by the Kerr metric, a stationary, vacuum solution of general relativity (GR). Indeed, by imaging M87$^\star$ and Sgr A$^\star$ and measuring the size of their shadows,…
We propose and analyze a new metric that has two conformal factors a(t) and b(t) that combine the expansion of the universe and its effects on the spatial and temporal part of the Schwarzschild metric in isotropic coordinates. We present…
