Study finds necessary conditions for black hole geometries to asymptotically approach Kerr-de Sitter spacetime.

Constructs many black hole spacetimes in de Sitter space.

Stability of black holes proven in full subextremal range with positive cosmological constant.

We establish the full global non-linear stability of the Kerr-de Sitter family of black holes, as solutions of the initial value problem for the Einstein vacuum equations with positive cosmological constant, for small angular momenta, and without any symmetry assumptions on the initial data. We achieve this by extendin…

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 proof of stability for expanding Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes with smoothness at the boundary.

Constructs solutions of Einstein equations for black holes gluing along timelike geodesics.

Adds charged black holes to de Sitter space.

Uniqueness theorem for extremal charged black holes in 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…

Proves wave equation solutions in Kerr-de Sitter spacetime have specific asymptotic expansions.

This paper is motivated by the non-linear stability problem for the expanding region of Kerr de Sitter cosmologies in the context of Einstein's equations with positive cosmological constant. We show that under dynamically realistic assumptions the conformal Weyl curvature of the spacetime decays towards future null inf…

We show that a stationary solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations which is close to a non-degenerate Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter solution is in fact equal to a slowly rotating Kerr-Newman-de Sitter solution. The proof uses the non-linear stability of the Kerr-Newman-de Sitter family of black holes for small angular…

Using symmetric space techniques, we show that closed orbits of the Iwasawa subgroups of $SO(2,l-1)$ naturally define singularities of a black hole causal structure in anti-de Sitter spaces in $l \geq 3$ dimensions. In particular, we recover for $l=3$ the non-rotating massive BTZ black hole. The method presented here i…

Proves analyticity of quasinormal modes in Kerr and Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes.

The paper proves the existence of a horizon for certain spacetimes.

New methods show quasinormal modes can be defined using various stationary Killing vectors.

This paper is the continuation of [8]. We essentially prove that the familly of strongly causal spacetimes defined in [8] associated to generic achronal subsets in Ein contains all the examples of BTZ multi black-holes. It provides new elements for the global description of these multi black-holes. We also prove that a…

Study of rotating gravastars with de Sitter interiors and Kerr exteriors.

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…

In the first part we define a "BTZ" black hole in anti de Sitter space in any dimension by defining as "singular" the closed orbits of the Iwasawa component of SO(2,n). In the second part, a strict quantization of the black hole by action of group is performed and its Dirac operator is computed. We introduce, in the ap…

A recent proposal by Ryu and Takayanagi for a holographic interpretation of entanglement entropy in conformal field theories dual to supergravity on anti-de Sitter (adS) is generalized to include entanglement entropy of black holes living on the boundary of adS. The generalized proposal is verified in boundary dimensio…

A generalisation of the four-dimensional Kerr-de Sitter metrics to include a NUT charge is well known, and is included within a class of metrics obtained by Plebanski. In this paper, we study a related class of Kerr-Taub-NUT-de Sitter metrics in arbitrary dimensions D \ge 6, which contain three non-trivial continuous p…

We give the general Kerr-de Sitter metric in arbitrary spacetime dimension D\ge 4, with the maximal number [(D-1)/2] of independent rotation parameters. We obtain the metric in Kerr-Schild form, where it is written as the sum of a de Sitter metric plus the square of a null geodesic vector, and in generalised Boyer-Lind…

In this work, we consider solutions of the Maxwell equations on the Schwarzschild-de Sitter family of black hole spacetimes. We prove that, in the static region bounded by black hole and cosmological horizons, solutions of the Maxwell equations decay to stationary Coulomb solutions at a super-polynomial rate, with deca…

This paper is a sequel of "Solvable symmetric black hole in anti de Sitter spaces" [arXiv:math.DG/0510442]. In the latter, we described the BTZ black hole in every dimension by defining the singularity as the closed orbits of the Iwasawa subgroup of SO(2,n). In this article, we study the horizon of the black hole and w…

The higher-dimensional Kerr-NUT-de Sitter spacetime describes the general rotating asymptotically de Sitter black hole with NUT parameters. It is known that such a spacetime possesses a rank-2 closed conformal Killing-Yano (CKY) tensor as a ``hidden'' symmetry which provides the separation of variables for the geodesic…

We prove an "Earthquake Theorem" for hyperbolic metrics with geodesic boundary on a compact surfaces $S$ with boundary: given two hyperbolic metrics with geodesic boundary on a surface with $k$ boundary components, there are $2^k$ right earthquakes transforming the first in the second. An alternative formulation arises…

We study the relevant structure of so(2,n) which makes the BTZ black hole possible in the anti de Sitter space. We pay a particular attention of the reductive Lie algebra structures and Iwasawa decompositions and the way these structures evolves when one increases the dimension. The singularity is defined as the closed…

We show that Wang's proof of uniqueness of Anti-de Sitter spacetime can be adapted to provide uniqueness results for strictly static asymptotically locally hyperbolic vacuum metrics with toroidal infinity, and to prove negativity of the free energy $E-TS$ of asymptotically AdS black holes with higher-genus horizons.

We examine the Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole in terms of the information geometry and consider what kind of quantum information produces the black hole metric in close connection with the anti-de Sitter space/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence. We find a Hessian potential that exactly produce…

We consider solutions to the linear wave equation $\Box_gφ=0$ on a non-extremal maximally extended Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime arising from arbitrary smooth initial data prescribed on an arbitrary Cauchy hypersurface. (In particular, no symmetry is assumed on initial data, and the support of the solutions may con…

This paper is devoted to the study of the Reissner-Nordstrøm-de Sitter black holes and their maximal analytic extensions. In particular, we study some of their properties that lays the groundwork for separate papers where we obtain decay results and construct conformal scattering theories for test fields on such spacet…

We study, using Mean Curvature Flow methods, 2+1 dimensional cosmologies with a positive cosmological constant and matter satisfying the dominant and the strong energy conditions. If the spatial slices are compact with non-positive Euler characteristic and are initially expanding everywhere, then we prove that the spat…

We prove the linear stability of Schwarzschild-Tangherlini spacetimes and their Anti-de Sitter counterparts under Ricci flow for a special class of perturbations. This is useful in the choice of suitable initial conditions in numerical Ricci-flow-based algorithms for obtaining new solutions to the Einstein equation whe…

In this paper, we study Ricci-flat and Einstein Lorentzian multiply warped products. We also consider the case of having constant scalar curvatures for this class of warped products. Finally, after we introduce a new class of spacetimes called as generalized Kasner space-times, we apply our results to this kind of spac…

This is the second of two works, in which we discuss the definition of an appropriate notion of mass for static metrics, in the case where the cosmological constant is positive and the model solutions are compact. In the first part, we have established a positive mass statement, characterising the de Sitter solution as…

We consider the wave equation on Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter and more generally Kerr-Newman-de Sitter black hole spacetimes with $Λ>0$. The strength of the blue-shift instability associated to the Cauchy horizon of these spacetimes has been the subject of much discussion, since-in contrast to the $Λ=0$ case-the compet…

In this global study of solutions to the linear wave equation on Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes we attend to the cosmological region of spacetime which is bounded in the past by cosmological horizons and to the future by a spacelike hypersurface at infinity. We prove an energy estimate capturing the expansion of th…

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…

Proves existence of solutions to Einstein constraints with specific boundary conditions and verifies Penrose inequality.

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…

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…
