Shape dynamics is a classical theory of gravity which agrees with general relativity in many important cases, but possesses different gauge symmetries and constraints. Rather than spacetime diffeomorphism invariance, shape dynamics takes spatial diffeomorphism invariance and spatial Weyl invariance as the fundamental gauge symmetries associated with the gravitational field. Despite these differences, shape dynamics and general relativity generically predict the same dynamics---there exist gauge-fixings of each theory that ensure agreement with the other. However, these gauge-fixing conditions are not necessarily globally well-defined and it is therefore possible to find solutions of the shape dynamics equations of motion that agree with general relativity on some open neighborhoods, but which have different global structures. In particular, the black hole solutions of the two theories disagree globally. Understanding these novel shape dynamic black holes is the primary goal of this thesis.
We have investigated several properties of rapidly rotating dynamic black holes generated by gravitational collapse of rotating relativistic stars. At present, numerical simulations of the binary black hole merger are able to produce a Kerr black hol
Searching for the effect of quintessence dark energy on the kinetics of black hole phase transition, we investigate in detail the dynamic phase transition of charged AdS black holes surrounded by quintessence in this paper. Based on the Gibbs free en
We prove that a generalized Schwarzschild-like ansatz can be consistently employed to construct $d$-dimensional static vacuum black hole solutions in any metric theory of gravity for which the Lagrangian is a scalar invariant constructed from the Rie
How well is the vacuum Kerr geometry a good description of the dark, compact objects in our universe? Precision measurements of accreting matter in the deep infrared and gravitational-wave measurements of coalescing objects are finally providing answ
In a certain class of scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, the black holes and the neutron stars can undergo spontaneous scalarization - a strong gravity phase transition triggered by a tachyonic instability due to the non-minimal coupling between the scalar
