Formula for BPS black hole entropy derived from Vinberg cones.

Motivated by black hole physics in N=2, D=4 supergravity, we study the geometry of quaternionic-Kahler manifolds M obtained by the c-map construction from projective special Kahler manifolds M_s. Improving on earlier treatments, we compute the Kahler potentials on the twistor space Z and Swann space S in the complex co…

Black holes offer insights into machine learning's loss landscapes.

We prove a mass-angular momentum-charge inequality for a broad class of maximal, asymptotically flat, bi-axisymmetric initial data within the context of five-dimensional minimal supergravity. We further show that the charged Myers-Perry black hole initial data are the unique minimizers. In addition, we establish a rigi…

The paper characterizes spin initial data sets saturating the BPS bound in asymptotically AdS spacetimes.

We study a class of supersymmetric spinning particle models derived from the radial quantization of stationary, spherically symmetric black holes of four dimensional N= 2 supergravities. By virtue of the c-map, these spinning particles move in quaternionic Kaehler manifolds. Their spinning degrees of freedom describe m…

Using black-hole inequalities and the increase of the horizon's areas, we show that there are arbitrarily small electro-vacuum perturbations of the standard initial data of the extreme Reissner-Nordstrom black-hole that, (by contradiction), cannot decay in time into any extreme Kerr-Newman black-hole. This proves the e…

We show that the horizon geometry for supersymmetric black hole solutions of minimal five-dimensional gauged supergravity is that of a particular Einstein-Cartan-Weyl (ECW) structure in three dimensions, involving the trace and traceless part of both torsion and nonmetricity, and obeying some precise constraints. In th…

Over the past three decades, black holes have played an important role in quantum gravity, mathematical physics, numerical relativity and gravitational wave phenomenology. However, conceptual settings and mathematical models used to discuss them have varied considerably from one area to another. Over the last five year…

Uniqueness theorem for extremal charged black holes in de Sitter space.

We study some aspects of spherical symmetric dyonic non-supersymmetric black holes in $4d \; N=1$ supergravity coupled to chiral and vector multiplets on Kähler-Ricci solitons. Then, we have a family of dyonic non-supersymmetric black holes deformed with respect to the flow parameter related to the Kähler-Ricci soliton…

Proof of reverse isoperimetric inequality for black holes.

This paper describes the black hole threshold in a moduli space of spherically symmetric spacetimes.

The geometry of five-dimensional Kerr black holes is discussed based on geodesics and Weyl curvatures. Kerr-Star space, Star-Kerr space and Kruskal space are naturally introduced by using special null geodesics. We show that the geodesics of AdS Kerr black hole are integrable, which generalizes the result of Frolov and…

New construction of self-dual black holes using quadrics.

Researchers create black holes isometric to extremal Reissner-Nordström.

Adds charged black holes to de Sitter space.

We obtain infinite classes of new Einstein-Sasaki metrics on complete and non-singular manifolds. They arise, after Euclideanisation, from BPS limits of the rotating Kerr-de Sitter black hole metrics. The new Einstein-Sasaki spaces L^{p,q,r} in five dimensions have cohomogeneity 2, and U(1) x U(1) x U(1) isometry group…

Achieved all-orders worldline action for Kerr black hole.

Extreme black holes with $\SU(2)$ symmetry have a specific near horizon geometry.

New black hole models with both null and spacelike singularities.

Study proves inequality linking black hole properties and angular momentum.

A key result in four dimensional black hole physics, since the early 1970s, is Hawking's topology theorem asserting that the cross-sections of an "apparent horizon", separating the black hole region from the rest of the spacetime, are topologically two-spheres. Later, during the 1990s, by applying a variant of Hawking'…

Proves no-hair theorem for certain vacuum black holes.

Warped-product black hole spacetimes are $C^0$-inextendible.

The paper proves extremal black holes form at a critical point of gravitational collapse.

Constructs many black hole spacetimes in de Sitter space.

This paper explores charged black holes in 3+1 dimensions, finding limitations on their existence.

In this paper a lower bound for the ADM mass is given in terms of the angular momenta and charges of black holes present in axisymmetric initial data sets for the Einstein-Maxwell equations. This generalizes the mass-angular momentum-charge inequality obtained by Chrusciel and Costa to the case of multiple black holes.…

Study shows formation of Kerr black holes with complete apparent horizons and proves Penrose inequalities.

Theorem proves topological censorship for universes with positive cosmological constant.

Effective action for Kerr-Newman black hole found in twistor theory.

Researchers found a way to measure energy in black hole perturbations.

This work proves Kerr black holes are dynamically stable under certain perturbations.

It is expected that matter composed of a perfect fluid cannot be at rest outside of a black hole if the spacetime is asymptotically flat and static (non-rotating). However, there has not been a rigorous proof for this expectation without assuming spheical symmetry. In this paper, we provide a proof of non-existence of …

Paper proves uniqueness of black holes and photon surfaces in higher dimensions.

We construct new classes of exact solutions of the 4D vacuum Einstein equations which describe ellipsoidal black holes, black tori and combined black hole -- black tori configurations. The solutions can be static or with anisotropic polarizations and running constants. They are defined by off--diagonal metric ansatz wh…

Proves uniqueness of black holes in Lovelock gravity, a generalization of Einstein's theory.

Motivated by the Strong Cosmic Censorship Conjecture for asymptotically AdS spacetimes, we initiate the study of massive scalar waves satisfying $\Box_g ψ- μψ=0$ on the interior of Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes. We prescribe initial data on a spacelike hypersurface of a Reissner--Nordström--AdS black hole and impose…

We study a multiply warped products manifold associated with the Reissner-Nordstrom metric to investigate the physical properties inside the black hole event horizons. It is shown that, different from the uncharged Schwarzschild metric, the Ricci curvature components inside the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole horizons ar…

We prove the global non-linear stability, without symmetry assumptions, of slowly rotating charged black holes in de Sitter spacetimes in the context of the initial value problem for the Einstein-Maxwell equations: If one perturbs the initial data of a slowly rotating Kerr-Newman-de Sitter (KNdS) black hole, then in a …

New black hole solutions cannot be rotated without breaking their structure.

We analyze the Ricci flow of a noncompact metric that describes a two-dimensional black hole. We consider entanglement entropy of a 2d black hole which is due to the quantum correlations between two subsystems: one is inside and the other is outside the black hole horizon. It is demonstrated that the entanglement entro…

New static black hole uniqueness theorems for negative cosmological constant.

Using ideas from an article of P. Bieliavsky, M. Rooman and Ph. Spindel on BTZ black holes, I construct a family of interesting examples of quasi-Poisson actions as defined by A. Alekseev and Y. Kosmann-Schwarzbach. As an application, I obtain a genuine Poisson structure on $SL(2,R)$ which induces a Poisson structure o…

Bartnik mass is positive and non-decreasing for black holes

In a paper \cite{P} in 1973, R. Penrose made a physical argument that the total mass of a spacetime which contains black holes with event horizons of total area $A$ should be at least $\sqrt{A/16π}$. An important special case of this physical statement translates into a very beautiful mathematical inequality in Riemann…
