Energy conditions and their cosmological implications
Matt Visser,Carlos Barceló +1 more
TL;DR: The energy conditions of general relativity allow one to deduce very powerful and general theorems about the behaviour of strong gravitational fields and cosmological geometries as mentioned in this paper, but the energy conditions are beginning to look a lot less secure than they once seemed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dirty black holes: Entropy as a surface term.
TL;DR: The specific case of Einstein-Hilbert gravity coupled to an effective Lagrangian that is an arbitrary function of the Riemann tensor (though not of its derivatives) is considered, and a more explicit result is obtained.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Black holes in general relativity
TL;DR: The authors made a personal choice and focused on four specific questions: Do black holes “exist”? (For selected values of the word "exist".) Is black hole formation and evaporation unitary? Can one mimic a black hole to arbitrary accuracy?
Journal ArticleDOI
On the viability of regular black holes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors pointed out that the regular core is exponentially unstable against perturbations with a finite timescale, while the evaporation time is infinite, making the instability impossible to prevent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analogue Models of and for Gravity
TL;DR: Condensed matter systems, such as acoustics in flowing fluids, light in moving dielectrics, or quasiparticles in a moving superfluid, can be used to mimic aspects of general relativity as mentioned in this paper.
