The recent detections of gravitational waves from binary systems of black holes are in remarkable agreement with the predictions of General Relativity. In this pedagogical mini-review, I will go through the physics of the different phases of the evolution of black hole binary systems, providing a qualitative physical interpretation of each one of them. I will also briefly describe how these phases would be modified if gravitation were described by a theory extending or deforming General Relativity, or if the binary components turned out to be more exotic compact objects than black holes.

In this work, new solutions for regular black holes that have multihorizons are proposed. These are formed by the direct product of solutions already published in the literature, which are described through the coupling of gravity with nonlinear elec trodynamics. We analyze the regularity of the spacetime, the electric field, and the energy conditions of each solution. The strong energy condition is always violated within the event horizon in all solutions, while other energy conditions depend on the ratio between extreme charges of isolated solutions. For solutions with four horizons, we present two examples, Bardeen-Culetu and Balart-Culetu. Both solutions are regular, but the first do not satisfy all the energy conditions, except the strong, because it has an extreme charge ratio of 1.57581, great value. The second solution, on the other hand, can satisfy all other energy conditions, except the SEC, and has an extreme charge ratio of 1.09915, a value that allows this feature. Its also proposed a regular solution with up to six horizons, Balart-Culetu-Dymnikova, where, for a given charge value, we can verify that it satisfies all energy conditions, except the strong one. This was possible due to the ratio between extreme charges that are neither too high nor too close. We propose solutions with any number of horizons. We show that points where $-F(r)$ has a non null minimum represent a cusp in the Lagrangian $-L(F)$. We also show an example of multihorizon solution with magnetic charge. Multihorizon solutions may exhibit exotic properties, such as negative energy density, or violation of energy conditions, but which can be circumvented with a selected choice of customized solutions and extreme charge values, resulting in regular black hole solutions that satisfy all energy conditions, less the strong.
112 - Igor D. Novikov 2003
At the 20-th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics there was a plenary talk devoted to the recent developments in classical Relativity. In that talk the problems of gravitational collapse, collisions of black holes, and of black holes as celes tial bodies were discussed. But probably the problems of the internal structure of black holes are a real great challenge. In my talk I want to outline the recent achievements in our understanding of the nature of the singularity (and beyond!) inside a realistic rotating black hole. This presentation also addresses the following questions: Can we see what happens inside a black hole? Can a falling observer cross the singularity without being crushed? An answer to these questions is probably yes.
We consider the thermodynamic properties of the constant curvature black hole solution recently found by Banados. We show that it is possible to compute the entropy and the quasilocal thermodynamics of the spacetime using the Einstein-Hilbert action of General Relativity. The constant curvature black hole has some unusual properties which have not been seen in other black hole spacetimes. The entropy of the black hole is not associated with the event horizon; rather it is associated with the region between the event horizon and the observer. Further, surfaces of constant internal energy are not isotherms so the first law of thermodynamics exists only in an integral form. These properties arise from the unusual topology of the Euclidean black hole instanton.
Black hole `spectroscopy, i.e. the identification of quasinormal mode frequencies via gravitational wave observations, is a powerful technique for testing the general relativistic nature of black holes. In theories of gravity beyond general relativit y perturbed black holes are typically described by a set of coupled wave equations for the tensorial field and the extra scalar/vector degrees of freedom, thus leading to a theory-specific quasinormal mode spectrum. In this paper we use the eikonal/geometric optics approximation to obtain analytic formulae for the frequency and damping rate of the fundamental quasinormal mode of a generalised, theory-agnostic system of equations describing coupled scalar-tensor perturbations of spherically symmetric black holes. Representing an extension of our recent work, the present model includes a massive scalar field, couplings through the field derivatives and first-order frame dragging rotational corrections. Moving away from spherical symmetry, we consider the simple model of the scalar wave equation in a general stationary-axisymmetric spacetime and use the eikonal approximation to compute the quasinormal modes associated with equatorial and nonequatorial photon rings.
In a recent series of papers we have shown how the eikonal/geometrical optics approximation can be used to calculate analytically the fundamental quasinormal mode frequencies associated with coupled systems of wave equations, which arise, for instanc e, in the study of perturbations of black holes in gravity theories beyond General Relativity. As a continuation to this series, we here focus on the quasinormal modes of nonrotating black holes in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity assuming a small-coupling expansion. We show that the axial perturbations are purely tensorial and are described by a modified Regge-Wheeler equation, while the polar perturbations are of mixed scalar-tensor character and are described by a system of two coupled wave equations. When applied to these equations, the eikonal machinery leads to axial modes that deviate from the general relativistic results at quadratic order in the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant. We show that this result is in agreement with an analysis of unstable circular null orbits around blackholes in this theory, allowing us to establish the geometrical optics-null geodesic correspondence for the axial modes. For the polar modes the small-coupling approximation forces us to consider the ordering between eikonal and small-coupling perturbative parameters; one of which we show, by explicit comparison against numerical data, yields the correct identification of the quasinormal modes of the scalar-tensor coupled system of wave equations. These corrections lift the general relativistic degeneracy between scalar and tensorial eikonal quasinormal modes at quadratic order in Gauss-Bonnet coupling in a way reminiscent of the Zeeman effect. In general, our analytic, eikonal quasinormal mode frequencies (normalized to the General Relativity ones) agree with numerical results with an error of $sim 10%$ in the regime of small coupling constant.
