Abstract We study the displacement memory effect and its connection with the extended-BMS symmetries near the horizon of black holes. We show there is a permanent shift in the geodesic deviation vector relating two nearby timelike geodesics placed close to the horizon of black holes, upon the passage of gravitational waves. We also relate this memory effect with the asymptotic symmetries near the horizon of asymptotic black hole spacetimes. The shift of the relative position of the detectors is shown to be induced by a combination of BMS generators near the horizon. The displacement memory effect near the horizon possesses similarities to the same obtained in the far region.

Abstract It is well known that primordial black hole (PBH) can be generated in inflation process of the early universe, especially when the inflaton field has some non-trivial features that could break the slow-roll condition. In this paper, we investigate a toy model of inflation with bumpy potential, which has one or several bumps. We found that potential with multi-bump can give rise to power spectra with multi peaks in small-scale region, which can in turn predict the generation of primordial black holes in various mass ranges. We also consider the two possibilities of PBH formation by spherical collapse and elliptical collapse. And discusses the scalar-induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) generated by the second-order scalar perturbations.

Black-hole spacetimes are known to possess closed light rings. We here present a remarkably compact theorem which reveals the physically intriguing fact that these unique null circular geodesics provide the fastest way, as measured by asymptotic observers, to circle around spinning Kerr black holes.

We show that alongside the already observed gravitational waves, quantum gravity predicts the existence of two additional massive classical fields and thus two new massive waves. We set a limit on their masses using data from Eöt-Wash-like experiments. We point out that the existence of these new states is a model independent prediction of quantum gravity. We explain how these new classical fields could impact astrophysical processes and in particular the binary inspirals of black holes. We calculate the emission rate of these new states in binary inspirals astrophysical processes.

Abstract Recently introduced exact solution of the Einstein gravity coupled minimally to an anisotropic fluid representing dark matter can well represent supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei with realistic distribution of dark matter around the black hole, given by the Hernquist-like density distribution. For these fluid-hairy black hole spacetimes, properties of the gravitational radiation, quasinormal ringing, and optical phenomena were studied, giving interesting results. Here, using the range of physical parameters of these spacetimes allowing for their relevance in astrophysics, we study the epicyclic oscillatory motion of test particles in these spacetimes. The frequencies of the orbital and epicyclic motion are applied in the epicyclic resonance variant of the geodesic model of quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in active galactic nuclei to demonstrate the possibility to solve the cases where the standard vacuum black hole spacetimes are not allowing for explanation of the observed data. We demonstrate that the geodesic model can explain the QPOs observed in most of the active galactic nuclei for the fluid-hairy black holes with reasonable halo parameters.

We consider Kerr–Newman–AdS–dS black holes near extremality and work out the near-horizon geometry of these near-extremal black holes. We identify the exact U (1)L× U (1)R isometries of the near-horizon geometry and provide boundary conditions enhancing them to a pair of commuting Virasoro algebras. The conserved charges of the corresponding asymptotic symmetries are found to be well-defined and nonvanishing and to yield central charges cL≠0 and cR = 0. The Cardy formula subsequently reproduces the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy of the black hole. This suggests that the near-extremal Kerr–Newman–AdS–dS black hole is holographically dual to a non-chiral two-dimensional conformal field theory.

In this paper, a brief analysis of repeated and overlapped gamma-ray bursts, fast radio bursts and gravitational waves is done. These signals may not be emitted by isolated cataclysmic events and we suggest interpreting some of them within the impenetrable black hole model, as the radiation reflected and amplified by the black hole horizons.

In this chapter we review what is known about dynamical black hole-solutions of Einstein equations. We discuss the Robinson–Trautman black holes, with or without a cosmological constant. We review the Cauchy-data approach to the construction of black-hole spacetimes. We propose some alternative approaches to a meaningful definition of black hole in a dynamical spacetime, and we review the nonlinear stability results for black-hole solutions of vacuum Einstein equations.

The Penrose strong cosmic censorship conjecture asserts that Cauchy horizons inside dynamically formed black holes are unstable to remnant matter fields that fall into the black holes. The physical importance of this conjecture stems from the fact that it provides a necessary condition for general relativity to be a truly deterministic theory of gravity. Determining the fate of the Penrose conjecture in nonasymptotically flat black hole spacetimes has been the focus of intense research efforts in recent years. In this paper, we provide a remarkably compact proof, which is based on Bekenstein’s generalized second law of thermodynamics, for the validity of the intriguing Penrose conjecture in physically realistic (dynamically formed) curved black hole spacetimes.

AbstractThe hoop conjecture, introduced by Thorne almost five decades ago, asserts that black holes are characterized by the mass-to-circumference relation $$4\pi {\mathcal {M}}/{\mathcal {C}}\ge 1$$ 4 π M / C ≥ 1 , whereas horizonless compact objects are characterized by the opposite inequality $$4\pi {\mathcal {M}}/{\mathcal {C}}<1$$ 4 π M / C < 1 (here $${\mathcal {C}}$$ C is the circumference of the smallest ring that can engulf the self-gravitating compact object in all azimuthal directions). It has recently been proved that a necessary condition for the validity of this conjecture in horizonless spacetimes of spatially regular charged compact objects is that the mass $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M be interpreted as the mass contained within the engulfing sphere (and not as the asymptotically measured total ADM mass). In the present paper we raise the following physically intriguing question: is it possible to formulate a unified version of the hoop conjecture which is valid for both black holes and horizonless compact objects? In order to address this important question, we analyze the behavior of the mass-to-circumference ratio of Kerr–Newman black holes. We explicitly prove that if the mass $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M in the hoop relation is interpreted as the quasilocal Einstein–Landau–Lifshitz–Papapetrou and Weinberg mass contained within the black-hole horizon, then these charged and spinning black holes are characterized by the sub-critical mass-to-circumference ratio $$4\pi {\mathcal {M}}/{\mathcal {C}}<1$$ 4 π M / C < 1 . Our results provide evidence for the non-existence of a unified version of the hoop conjecture which is valid for both black-hole spacetimes and spatially regular horizonless compact objects.
