An approach to stability analyses in general relativity via symplectic geometry
We begin with a review of the statements of non-linear, linear and mode stability of autonomous dynamical systems in classical mechanics, using symplectic geometry. We then discuss what the phase…
Prospects for estimating parameters from gravitational waves of superspinar binaries
To date, close to fifty black hole binary mergers were observed by the LIGO and Virgo detectors. The analyses have been done with an assumption that these objects are black holes by limiting the spin…
Observers in Kerr spacetimes: the ergoregion on the equatorial plane
We perform a detailed analysis of the properties of stationary observers located on the equatorial plane of the ergosphere in a Kerr spacetime, including light-surfaces. This study highlights crucial…
Particle collisions in ergoregion of braneworld Kerr black hole
Space–time singularities and cosmic censorship conjecture: A Review with some thoughts
The singularity theorems of Hawking and Penrose tell us that singularities are common place in general relativity. Singularities not only occur at the beginning of the Universe at the Big Bang, but…
Testing the rotational nature of the supermassive object M87* from the circularity and size of its first image
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has recently released the first image of a black hole (BH), opening a new window onto tests of general relativity in the strong field regime. In this…
Disclosing connections between black holes and naked singularities: horizon remnants, Killing throats and bottlenecks
We study the properties of black holes and naked singularities by considering stationary observers and light surfaces in Kerr spacetimes. We reconsider the notion of Killing horizons from a special…
Particle collisions and optical effects in the miningKerr-Newman spacetimes
We study ultra-high-energy particle collisions and optical effects in the extraordinary class of mining braneworld Kerr-Newman (KN) naked singularity spacetimes, predicting extremely high efficiency…
Spherical photon orbits in the field of Kerr naked singularities
For the Kerr naked singularity (KNS) spacetimes, we study properties of spherical photon orbits (SPOs) confined to constant Boyer-Lindquist radius r. Some new features of the SPOs are found, having…
Intrinsic curvature and topology of shadows in Kerr spacetime
From the viewpoint of differential geometry and topology, we investigate the characterization of the shadows in a Kerr spacetime. Two new quantities, the length of the shadow boundary and the local…

Gravitational instabilities of superspinars
Superspinars are ultracompact objects whose mass M and angular momentum J violate the Kerr bound (cJ/GM^2>1). Recent studies analyzed the observable consequences of gravitational lensing and…
Gravitational instabilities in Kerr spacetimes
In this paper we consider the possible existence of unstable axisymmetric modes in Kerr spacetimes, resulting from exponentially growing solutions of the Teukolsky equation. We describe a…
Instability of hyper-compact Kerr-like objects
Viable alternatives to astrophysical black holes include hyper-compact objects without horizon, such as gravastars, boson stars, wormholes and superspinars. The authors have recently shown that…

Gravitational radiation from an extreme Kerr black hole
We analytically investigate gravitational radiation induced by a test particle falling into an extreme Kerr black hole. Assuming the radiation is dominated by the infinite sequence of quasi-normal…
BLACK HOLES AND GRAVITATIONAL WAVES. III. THE RESONANT FREQUENCIES OF ROTATING HOLES
The free oscillations of rotating black holes are studied. Values of the complex resonant frequencies are given as functions of the Kerr parameter a for a variety of spherical harmonic indices l and…
Perturbations of a rotating black hole. I. Fundamental equations for gravitational, electromagnetic, and neutrino-field perturbations
Decoupled, separable equations describing perturbations of a Kerr black hole are derived. These equations can be used to study black-hole processes involving scalar, electromagnetic, neutrino or…
