We demonstrate that the location of a stable photon sphere (PS) in a compact object is not always an edge such as the inner boundary of a black hole shadow, whereas the location of an unstable PS is known to be the shadow edge notably in…
We investigate the impact of higher-curvature corrections on black-hole observables within a perturbative $f(R, G)$ gravity framework. Working in a static, spherically symmetric spacetime, we construct leading-order deviations from the…
We show that low-energy photon scattering from a body with radius R slightly larger than its Schwarzschild radius r_s resembles black-hole absorption. This absorption occurs via capture to one of the many long-lived, densely packed…
In this paper, we show the relation between the thermodynamic geometry of a four-dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS (RN-AdS) black hole and non-local observables in boundary field theory. Instead of introducing the critical point…
In the scattering picture, thermal radiation effects may be associated with the `above barrier' reflection coefficient, which comes into play because of complex turning points. This note contains several general remarks on the application…
We present a calculation of two-point correlation functions of the stress-energy tensor in the strongly-coupled, confining gauge theory which is holographically dual to the AdS soliton geometry. The fact that the AdS soliton smoothly caps…
In the AdS/CFT correspondence, a dynamical cosmological constant $\Lambda$ in the bulk corresponds to varying the number of colors $N$ in the boundary gauge theory with a chemical potential $\mu$ as its thermodynamic conjugate. In this…
The analytic structure of holographic correlation functions at finite temperature contains information about curvature singularities of black holes in AdS. We compute the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) coefficients of the holographic…
We explore a simple spherical model of optically thin accretion on a Schwarzschild black hole, and study the properties of the image as seen by a distant observer. We show that a dark circular region in the center --- a shadow --- is always…
We study the low frequency absorption cross section of spherically symmetric nonextremal d-dimensional black holes. In the presence of alpha' corrections, this quantity must have an explicit dependence on the Hawking temperature of the form…
We study the low-temperature limit of scalar perturbations of the Kerr-AdS$_{5}$ black-hole for generic rotational parameters. We motivate the study by considering real-time holography of small black hole backgrounds. Using the…
Recent observations of black hole shadows have revolutionized our ability to probe gravity in extreme environments. This manuscript presents a novel analytic method to calculate, in leading-order terms, the key parameters of photon sphere…
The Kerr rotating black hole metric has unstable photon orbits that orbit around the hole at fixed values of the Boyer-Lindquist coordinate $r$ that depend on the axial angular momentum of the orbit, as well as on the parameters of the…
We show a uniqueness result for the n-dimensional spatial Reissner-Nordstr\"om manifold: a static, electrovacuum, asymptotically flat system which is asymptotically Reissner-Nordstr\"om is a subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om manifold with…
Within holography, we calculate the contribution of an arbitrary spin-s gauge boson exchange in $AdS_{d+1}$ to the four-point function with scalar operators on the boundary. As an important ingredient, we first compute the complete…
In this work, we investigate thermodynamic properties and Hawking-Page phase transition of a black hole in the Schwarzschil-Anti-de Sitter-Beltrami (SAdSB) spacetime. We discuss the Beltrami or inertial coordinates of the Anti-de…
Inspired by the hypothesis of the black hole molecule, with the help of the Hawking temperature, entropy and the thermodynamics curvature of the black hole, we propose a new measure of the relation between the interaction and the thermal…
The thermodynamics of black holes is shown to be directly induced by their near-horizon conformal invariance. This behavior is exhibited using a scalar field as a probe of the black hole gravitational background, for a general class of…
In this work, we introduce a screened Simpson-Visser regular solution and perform a comprehensive study of its physical and observational properties. We begin by analyzing the thermodynamic behavior of the black hole, including detailed…
We continue our study of the decoupled wave equation in the exterior of a spherically symmetric, Schwarzschild, black hole. Because null geodesics on the photon sphere orbit the black hole, extra effort must be made to show that the high…
