In this paper we derive the inverse spatial Laplacian for static, spherically symmetric backgrounds by solving Poissons equation for a point source. This is different from the electrostatic Green function, which is defined on the four dimensional static spacetime, while the equation we consider is defined on the spatial hypersurface of such spacetimes. This Green function is relevant in the Hamiltonian dynamics of theories defined on spherically symmetric backgrounds, and closed form expressions for the solutions we find are absent in the literature. We derive an expression in terms of elementary functions for the Schwarzschild spacetime, and comment on the relation of this solution with the known Green function of the spacetime Laplacian operator. We also find an expression for the Green function on the static pure de Sitter space in terms of hypergeometric functions.

We present a framework for studying gravitational lensing in spherically symmetric spacetimes using 1+1+2 covariant methods. A general formula for the deflection angle is derived and we show how this can be used to recover the standard result for the Schwarzschild spacetime.
The thermodynamic properties of a shell of bosons with the inner surface locating at Planck length away from the horizon of Schwarzschild black holes by using statistical mechanics are studied. The covariant partition function of bosons is obtained,
from which the Bose-Einstein condensation of bosons is found at a non-zero temperature in the curved spacetimes. As a special case of bosons, we analyze the entropy of photon gas near the horizon of the Schwarzschild black hole, which shows an area dependence similar to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. The results may offer new perspectives on the study of black hole thermodynamics. All these are extended to the $D+1$ dimensional spherically symmetric static spacetimes.
We search for self tuning solutions to the Einstein-scalar field equations for the simplest class of `Fab-Four models with constant potentials. We first review the conditions under which self tuning occurs in a cosmological spacetime, and by introduc
ing a small modification to the original theory - introducing the second and third Galileon terms - show how one can obtain de Sitter states where the expansion rate is independent of the vacuum energy. We then consider whether the same self tuning mechanism can persist in a spherically symmetric inhomogeneous spacetime. We show that there are no asymptotically flat solutions to the field equations in which the vacuum energy is screened, other than the trivial one (Minkowski space). We then consider the possibility of constructing Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes for the modified Fab Four plus Galileon theory. We argue that the only model that can successfully screen the vacuum energy in both an FLRW and Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetime is one containing `John $sim G^{mu}{}_{ u} partial_{mu}phipartial^{ u}phi$ and a canonical kinetic term $sim partial_{alpha}phi partial^{alpha}phi$. This behaviour was first observed in (Babichev&Charmousis,2013). The screening mechanism, which requires redundancy of the scalar field equation in the `vacuum, fails for the `Paul term in an inhomogeneous spacetime.
Based on the geometry of the codimension-2 surface in a general spherically symmetric spacetime, we give a quasi-local definition of a photon sphere as well as a photon surface. This new definition is the generalization of the one by Claudel, Virbhad
ra, and Ellis but without reference to any umbilical hypersurface in the spacetime. The new definition effectively rules out the photon surface which has noting to do with gravity. The application of the definition to the Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) model of gravitational collapse reduces to a problem of a second order differential equation. We find that the energy balance on the boundary of the dust ball can provide one appropriate boundary condition to this equation. Based on this key investigation, we find an analytic photon surface solution in the Oppenheimer-Snyder (OS) model and reasonable numerical solutions for the marginally bounded collapse in the LTB model. Interestingly, in the OS model, we find that the time difference between the occurrence of the photon surface and the event horizon is mainly determined by the total mass of the system but not the size or the strength of gravitational field of the system.
We apply the Dirac-Bergmann algorithm for the analysis of constraints to gauge theories defined on spherically symmetric black hole backgrounds. We find that the constraints for a given theory are modified on such spacetimes through the presence of a
dditional contributions from the horizon. As a concrete example, we consider the Maxwell field on a black hole background, and determine the role of the horizon contributions on the dynamics of the theory.
