A one-fold infinity of explicit quasi-stationary regular line elements for the Schwarzschild geometry is obtained directly from the vacuum Einstein equations. The class includes the familiar Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates, and the…
It is shown that the Schwarzschild spacetime can be extended so that the metric becomes analytic at the singularity. The singularity continues to exist, but it is made degenerate and smooth, and the infinities are removed by an appropriate…
We consider the deformation of the Schwarzschild solution in general relativity due to spherically symmetric quantum fluctuations of the metric and the matter fields. In this case, the 4D theory of gravity with Einstein action reduces to…
We consider a model in which accelerated particles experience line--elements with maximal acceleration corrections. When applied to the Schwarzschild metric, the effective field experienced by accelerated test particles contains corrections…
Guided by a Hamiltonian treatment of spherically symmetric geometry, we find a remarkably simple -- stationary, but not static -- form for the line element of Schwarzschild (and Reissner-Nordstrom) geometry. The line element continues…
We examine whether the Schwarzschild black hole can emerge as the continuous end state of gravitational collapse from a non-singular configuration. Employing a time dependent extension of the regular Schwarzschild metric, we track the…
In this paper we analyze the spacetime geometry due to a Schwarzschild object having uniform accelerated motion. In the beginning, we investigate the gravitational field due to a uniformly moving Schwarzschild object and obtain the…
Nonstandard analysis and electromagnetic propagation properties are used to derive all of the fundamental results for the Special Theory of Relativity. Infinitesimal modeling via infinitesimal light-clocks is used to derive two general…
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 examine the motion of an electron constrained to follow a magnetic field line near a primordial sub-stellar mass black hole. Earlier studies treated the problem in flat (Minkowski) spacetime, yielding qualitatively correct results and…
Most general relativity textbooks devote considerable space to the simplest example of a black hole containing a singularity, the Schwarzschild geometry. However only a few discuss the dynamical process of gravitational collapse, by which…
The modern notion of a black hole singularity is considered with reference to the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein's field equations of general relativity. A brief derivation of both the original and the modern line elements is given. The…
The paper deals with a special kind of problems that appear in solutions of Einstein's field equations for extended bodies: many structure-dependent terms appear in intermediate calculations that cancel exactly in virtue of the local…
In the presence of a minimal length physical objects cannot collapse to an infinite density, singular, matter point. In this note we consider the possible final stage of the gravitational collapse of "thick" matter layers. The energy…
The irreducible decomposition technique is applied to the study of classical models of metric-affine gravity (MAG). The dynamics of the gravitational field is described by a 12-parameter Lagrangian encompassing a Hilbert-Einstein term,…
We study various aspects of black holes and gravitational collapse in Einstein-Yang-Mills theory under the assumption of spherical symmetry. Numerical evolution on hyperboloidal surfaces extending to future null infinity is used. We begin…
We present a method for computing the evolution of a spacetime containing a massive particle and a black hole. The essential idea is that the gravitational field is evolved using full numerical relativity, with the particle generating a…
We develop a novel technique through spectral decompositions to study the gravitational perturbations of a black hole, without needing to decouple the linearized field equations into master equations and separate their radial and angular…
We revisit the dynamics of a black hole accreting energy from a surrounding homogeneous and infinite space. We argue for a simple heuristic modification of the Schwarzschild approximation when the density of the medium is not negligible…
A finitely supertranslated Schwarzschild black hole possesses nontrivial super-Lorentz charges compared with the standard one. This may impact the quasinormal modes of the black hole. Since the Einstein's equations are generally covariant,…
