Black hole-wormhole collisions and the emergence of islands
João M. Dias, Antonia M. Frassino, Valentin D. Paccoia +1
We use ray-tracing techniques to determine the evolution of the event horizon of a large black hole that ``gobbles'' a tiny, traversable wormhole. This calculation has physical mea…
The ubiquity of black holes in modern physics
Jorge V. Rocha
This is a translation of an article written originally in Portuguese for the journal Gazeta de Física, in a special edition celebrating the 2020 Nobel prize in physics. The text ta…
Charged black holes in Einsteinian cubic gravity and nonuniqueness
Antonia Micol Frassino, Jorge V. Rocha
Black holes are the simplest objects in the universe. They correspond to extreme deformations of spacetime geometry, and can exist even devoid of matter. In general relativity, (el…
Self-similar solutions and critical behavior in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory sourced by charged null fluids
Pedro Aniceto, Jorge V. Rocha
We investigate continuously self-similar solutions of four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory supported by charged null fluids. We work under the assumption of spherical s…
Self-similarity in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theories and critical collapse
Jorge V. Rocha, Marija Tomašević
We study continuously self-similar solutions of four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory, with an arbitrary dilaton coupling. Self-similarity is an emergent symmetry of gra…
Scanning the parameter space of collapsing rotating thin shells
Jorge V. Rocha, Raphael Santarelli
We present results of a comprehensive study of collapsing and bouncing thin shells with rotation, framing it in the context of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture. The analysis i…
