Negative tension branes as stable thin shell wormholes

Takafumi Kokubu, Tomohiro Harada

We investigate negative tension branes as stable thin shell wormholes in Reissner-Nordstrom-(anti) de Sitter spacetimes in dimensional Einstein gravity. Imposing Z2 symmetry, w…

Breaking of Vainshtein screening in scalar-tensor theories beyond Horndeski

Tsutomu Kobayashi, Yuki Watanabe, Daisuke Yamauchi

The Horndeski theory of gravity is known as the most general scalar-tensor theory with second-order field equations. Recently, it was demonstrated by Gleyzes et al. that the Hornde…

Black holes as particle accelerators: a brief review

Tomohiro Harada, Masashi Kimura

Rapidly rotating Kerr black holes can accelerate particles to arbitrarily high energy if the angular momentum of the particle is fine-tuned to some critical value. This phenomenon…

Covariant Stückelberg analysis of de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley massive gravity with a general fiducial metric

Xian Gao, Tsutomu Kobayashi, Masahide Yamaguchi +1

The Stückelberg analysis of nonlinear massive gravity in the presence of a general fiducial metric is investigated. We develop a "covariant" formalism for the Stückelberg expansion…

How small can an over-spinning body be in general relativity?

Ken-ichi Nakao, Masashi Kimura, Tomohiro Harada +2

The angular momentum of the Kerr singularity should not be larger than a threshold value so that it is enclosed by an event horizon: The Kerr singularity with the angular momentum…

Exact black hole solutions in shift symmetric scalar-tensor theories

Tsutomu Kobayashi, Norihiro Tanahashi

We derive a variety of exact black hole solutions in a subclass of Horndeski's scalar-tensor theory possessing shift symmetry, , and reflection symmetry, . The the…
