The magnetic reconnection process is analyzed for relativistic magnetohydrodynamical plasmas around rotating black holes. A simple generalization of the Sweet-Parker model is used as a first approximation to the problem. The reconnection…
We argue for black holes do not represent a strict consequence of general relativity.
A new version of the geometry inside a black hole is proposed, on the grounds of an idea given by Doran et al. The spacetime is still time dependent and is a solution of Einstein's equations with a stress tensor corresponding to an…
The geometry of three-dimensional space guides the search for a better model than the blackhole with its unwelcome singularity. An elementary construction produces on the 4-manifold of 2-spheres in a Riemannian 3-space a space-time metric…
This work summarises some of the attempts to explain the phenomenon of dark energy as an effective description of complex gravitational physics and the proper interpretation of observations. Cosmological backreaction has been shown to be…
Collapsed objects have definitely been observed: some are stellar-mass objects, the endpoint of massive stars; others, millions of times more massive, have been discovered in the cores of most galaxies. Their formation poses some…
We present an alternative approach to setting initial data in general relativity. We do not use a conformal decomposition, but instead express the 3-metric in terms of a given unit vector field and one unknown scalar field. In the case of…
The relevant physics for the possible formation of black holes in the LHC is discussed.
Adopting the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff formalism, we propose a new analytical solution for a static and spherically symmetric black hole where the cosmological constant is generalized to a non-isotropic Anton-Schmidt fluid acting as a…
We show that the monopole scalar charge of black holes in Einstein--Maxwell--dilaton theory is proportional to the electric potential at the event horizon, with a proportionality factor given by (minus) the scalar coupling constant. We also…

A model is proposed to describe a transition from a Schwarzschild black hole of mass $M_{0}$ to a Schwarzschild black hole of mass $M_{1}$ $\leq M_{0}$. The basic equations are derived from the non-vacuum Einstein field equations taking a…
Supermassive black holes have been detected in all galaxies that contain bulge components when the galaxies observed were close enough so that the searches were feasible. Together with the observation that bigger black holes live in bigger…
Considerable attention has recently focused on gravity theories obtained by extending general relativity with additional scalar, vector, or tensor degrees of freedom. In this paper, we show that the black-hole solutions of these theories…
We consider a massive selfgravitating shell as a model for collapsing body and a null selfgravitating shell as a model for quanta of Hawking radiation. It is show that the mass-energy spectra for the body and the radiation do not match. The…
In the classical relativistic regime, the accretion of phantom-like dark energy onto a stationary black hole reduces the mass of black hole. Here we have investigated the accretion of phantom energy onto a stationary charged black hole and…
I argue that there are no physical singularities in space-time. Singular space-time models do not belong to the ontology of the world, because of a simple reason: they are concepts, defective solutions of Einstein's field equations. I…
Inside a black hole, there is no local way to say which side of a sphere is the inside, and which is the outside. One can easily be gulled by this fact into mixing up the sign of the energy. We lead the reader astray with a na\"ive…
It seems necessary to suppress, at least partially, the formation of structure on subgalactic scales. As an alternative to warm or collisional dark matter, I postulate a condensate of massive bosons interacting via a repulsive interparticle…
We show that the dilaton Melvin-Schwarzschild black hole is the only asymptotically dilaton Melvin static axisymmetric solution of Einstein-Maxwell dilaton equations of motion.
