Black holes are predictions of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity and have been the
focus of intense studies for over a century, as they provide a rich source of theoretical and …

A bstract We explore the gravitational implementation of the field theory Cardy-like limit
recently used in the successful microstate countings of AdS black hole entropy in various …

A bstract Extremal black holes in general dimensions are well known to contain an AdS 2
factor in their near-horizon geometries. If the extremal limit is taken in conjunction with a …

The geometries with SL (2, R) and some axial U (1) isometries are called “near-horizon
extremal geometries” and are found usually, but not necessarily, in the near-horizon limit of …

A bstract By utilizing the ultraspinning limit we generate a new class of extremal vanishing
horizon (EVH) black holes in odd dimensions (d≥ 5). Starting from the general multi …

We investigate dynamics of probe particles moving in the near-horizon limit of extremal
Myers-Perry black holes in arbitrary dimensions. Employing ellipsoidal coordinates we show …

We develop a classical two-dimensional bi-scalar gravity based on the Kaluza-Klein
reduction applied to the four-dimensional Horndeski theory. One of the scalar fields arises …

We consider two solutions of Einstein-Λ theory which admit the extremal vanishing horizon
(EVH) limit, odd-dimensional multispinning Kerr black hole (in the presence of cosmological …

We study the near-horizon geometry of black ring solutions in five-dimensional U (1) 3
supergravity with three electric dipole charges and one angular momentum. We consider the …

We study the hidden symmetries, the symmetries associated with Killing tensors, of the near-
horizon geometry of odd-dimensional Kerr-AdS-NUT black holes in two limits: generic …
