We study the geodesics motion of neutral test particles in the static spherically symmetric spacetimes of black holes and naked singularities supported by a selfgravitating real scalar field. The scalar field is supposed to model dark matter surrounding some strongly gravitating object such as the centre of our Galaxy. The behaviour of timelike and null geodesics very close to the centre of such a configuration crucially depends on the type of spacetime. It turns out that a scalar field black hole, analogously to a Schwarzschild black hole, has the innermost stable circular orbit and the (unstable) photon sphere, but their radii are always less than the corresponding ones for the Schwarzschild black hole of the same mass; moreover, these radii can be arbitrarily small. In contrast, a scalar field naked singularity has neither the innermost stable circular orbit nor the photon sphere. Instead, such a configuration has a spherical shell of test particles surrounding its origin and remaining in quasistatic equilibrium all the time. We also show that the characteristic properties of null geodesics near the centres of a scalar field naked singularity and a scalar field black hole of the same mass are qualitatively different.

For the nontachyonic mass (c<0, µ2<6), we have found that all nonstatic perturbations (odd-, even-parity and scalar perturbations) allow only the real values of frequency k. This means that the black hole in the massive Brans-Dicke theory is classically stable. However, for the tachyonic mass of scalar field (c>0, µ2>6), we find that the massive Brans-Dicke theory is classically unstable. We also emphasize that the potential forms of odd-parity perturbations is simply given by the pure-gravitational perturbations. For the even-parity case, we obtain the same potential just as Zerilli’s case by combining the even-parity gravitational wave and scalar wave. For static perturbations (k=0) and c>0, only the odd- and even-parity cases with L=0, 1 is allowed to avoid exponentially growing modes.

We study an analytical solution to the Einstein's equations in (2+1)-dimensions, representing the self-similar collapse of a circularly symmetric, minimally coupled, massless, scalar field. Depending on the value of certain parameters, this solution represents the formation of naked singularities. Since our solution is asymptotically flat, these naked singularities may be relevant for the weak cosmic censorship conjecture in (2+1)-dimensions.

We investigate thermodynamic properties of two types of asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes: black holes and singular scalar field spacetimes. We describe the possibility that thermodynamic phase transitions can transform one spacetime into another, suggesting that black holes can radiate to naked singularities.

We give observations about dualities where one of the dual theories is geometric. These are illustrated with a duality between the simple harmonic oscillator and a topological field theory. We then discuss the Wilson loop in the context of the AdS/CFT duality. We show that the Wilson loop calculation for certain asymptotically AdS scalar field space–times with naked singularities gives results qualitatively similar to that for the AdS black hole. In particular, it is apparent that (dimensional) metric parameters in the singular space–times permit a "thermal screening" interpretation for the uark potential in the boundary theory, just like black hole mass. This suggests that the Wilson loop calculation merely captures metric parameter information rather than true horizon information.

Metrics representing black holes in General Relativity may exhibit naked singularities for certain values of their parameters. This is the case for super-extremal (J2 > M > 0) Kerr and super-extremal (|Q| > M > 0) Reissner-Nördstrom spacetimes, and also for the negative mass Schwarzschild spacetime. We review our recent work where we show that these nakedly singular spacetimes are unstable under linear gravitational perturbations, a result that supports the cosmic censorship conjecture, and also that the inner stationary region beyond the inner horizon of a Kerr black hole (J2 < M) is linearly unstable.

The present paper reports a study on the [Formula: see text] gravity reconstruction scheme in the context of considering standard Chaplygin gas as tachyon scalar field model of dark energy. The solution for reconstructed [Formula: see text] gravity has been obtained from reconstructed potential and scalar field of tachyon based on the standard Chaplygin gas. It has been observed that the equation of state parameter due to the reconstructed torsion contribution to the density and pressure behaves like quintom and is consistent with the observational value of the equation of state parameter for the current universe. The reconstructed [Formula: see text] has then been tested for gravitational perturbation by deriving the frictional term, the effective mass and the sound speed parameter for the gravitational potential and it has been found to be stable against gravitational perturbations through positive value of the squared speed of sound. Finally, statefinder diagnostics has been carried out and the reconstructed [Formula: see text] gravity is found to interpolate between dust and [Formula: see text]CDM phases of the universe.
