We study the existence and stability of spherical membranes in curved spacetimes. For Dirac membranes in the Schwarzschild--de Sitter background we find that there exists an equilibrium solution. By fine--tuning the dimensionless parameter…
We study the stability properties of static, spherically symmetric configurations in k-essence theories with the Lagrangians of the form $F(X)$, $X \equiv \phi_{,\alpha} \phi^{,\alpha}$. The instability under spherically symmetric…
This paper is concerned with the structural stability of spherical horizons. By this we mean stability with respect to variations of the second member of the corresponding differential equations, corresponding to the inclusion of the…
A manifestly covariant equation is derived to describe the second order perturbations in topological defects and membranes on arbitrary curved background spacetimes. This, on one hand, generalizes work on macroscopic strings in Minkowski…
We discuss the stability of (charged) static black holes in higher-dimensional spacetimes with and without cosmological constant by using gauge-invariant master equations of the Schroedinger equation type for black hole perturbations…
In this lecture, I explain the gauge-invariant formulation for perturbations of background spacetimes with untwisted homologous Einstein fibres, which include lots of practically important spacetimes such as static black holes, static black…
For arbitrary static space-times, it is shown that an equilibrium between a Killing horizon and matter is only possible for some discrete values of the parameter $w = p_1/\rho$, where $\rho$ is the density and $p_1$ is pressure in the…
We investigate the classical stability of the higher-dimensional Schwarzschild black holes against linear perturbations, in the framework of a gauge-invariant formalism for gravitational perturbations of maximally symmetric black holes,…
In multidimensional gravity with an arbitrary number of internal Ricci-flat factor spaces, interacting with electric and magnetic $p$-branes, spherically symmetric configurations are considered. It is shown that all single-brane black-hole…
The last seven years has produced a growing body of evidence which concludes that the Cauchy horizon in black hole-de Sitter spacetimes is classically stable when the surface gravity at the cosmological event horizon is greater than that at…
We study the geometry of stable maximal hypersurfaces in a variety of spacetimes satisfying various physically relevant curvature assumptions, for instance the Timelike Convergence Condition (TCC). We characterize stability when the target…
The existence of stable bound orbits of test particles is one of the most characteristic properties in black hole spacetimes. In higher-dimensional black holes, due to the dimensionality of gravity, there is no stable bound orbit balanced…
Unique features of particle orbits produce novel signatures of gravitational observable phenomena, and are quite useful in testing compact astrophysical objects in general relativity or modified theories of gravity. Here we observe a…
By means of a simple model we investigate the possibility that spacetime is a membrane embedded in higher dimensions. We present cosmological solutions of d-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory which compactify to two dimensions. These…
We consider a space-time variational formulation of the second-order wave equation, where integration by parts is also applied with respect to the time variable. Conforming tensor-product finite element discretisations with piecewise…
We study first order fluctuations of a relativistic membrane in the curved background of a black hole. The zeroth-order solution corresponds to a spherical membrane tightly covering the event horizon. We obtain a massive Klein-Gordon…
We show that spacetime curvature alone can classically stabilize black strings. Working within a consistent five-dimensional dilaton-gravity system with a flat brane, we find that sufficiently large black strings are classically stable when…
This paper deals with a study of the effects that spherically symmetric first-order metric perturbations and vacuum quantum fluctuations have on the stability of the multiply connected de Sitter spacetime recently proposed by Gott and Li.…
The early Dirac proposal to model the electron as a charged membrane is reviewed. A rigidity term, instead of the natural membrane tension, involving linearly the extrinsic curvature of the worldvolume swept out by the membrane is…
The stability under small time perturbations of the dilatonic black hole solution near the determinant curvature singularity is proved. This fact gives the additional arguments that the investigated topological configuration can realise in…
