The BTZ black hole, the Third Law and gravitational collapse

Aidan M. McSharry, Harvey S. Reall, Jorge E. Santos

We prove that a Third Law of black hole mechanics holds for the BTZ black hole in 3d gravity coupled to matter obeying the dominant energy condition. This law states that initial d…

The initial data of effective field theories of relativistic viscous fluids and gravity

Lorenzo Gavassino, Áron D. Kovács, Harvey S. Reall

There has been recent progress in developing well-posed theories of relativistic viscous hydrodynamics and of gravitational effective field theories. These have in common the featu…

Violation of the third law of black hole mechanics in vacuum gravity

John R. V. Crump, Maxime Gadioux, Harvey S. Reall +1

We demonstrate numerically the existence of solutions of five-dimensional vacuum gravity describing the formation, in finite time, of an extremal rotating black hole from a pre-exi…

Formation of extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes: insights from numerics

Maxime Gadioux, Harvey S. Reall, Jorge E. Santos

An extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole can form in finite time in the gravitational collapse of a massless charged scalar field. The proof of this is based on the method of char…

On the third law of black hole mechanics for supersymmetric black holes

Aidan M. McSharry, Harvey S. Reall

Recently it has been shown that the third law of black hole mechanics can be violated: an exactly extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole can form in finite time in gravitational co…

Ill-posedness of the Cauchy problem for linearized gravity in a cavity with conformal boundary conditions

Xiaoyi Liu, Harvey S. Reall, Jorge E. Santos +1

We consider Lorentzian General Relativity in a cavity with a timelike boundary, with conformal boundary conditions and also a generalization of these boundary conditions. We focus…
