(Super-)renormalizable hairy meronic black holes

We construct an analytical black hole solution in the Einstein-Maxwell-Yang-Mills theory with a conformally coupled scalar field in four dimensions, which generalizes the charged Martínez-Troncoso-Zanelli (MTZ) black hole in the presence of self-gravitating non-Abelian gauge fields. The internal gauge group is determined by the horizon curvature, becoming $SU(N)$ in the case of positive curvature and $SU(N-1,1)$ when the curvature is negative. Moreover, this solution is employed as a conformal seed to obtain new meronic spacetimes dressed with all (super-)renormalizable contributions of the scalar field, which provides the generalization of the Anabalón-Cisterna (AC) solution when self-gravitating non-Abelian gauge fields are included. Finally, we consider the non-Noetherian extension of the conformal scalar fields, which still yields a second-order conformally invariant scalar equation, even though the action is not. In that case, we show that static black hole solutions can also be charged with Yang-Mills fields.

Torsional black holes and wormholes in Einstein-Cartan-Maxwell gravity with a conformal scalar field

We formulate a one-parameter extension of Weyl transformations in first-order gravity and show that it defines a conformally coupled scalar sector with dynamical torsion. The construction reduces to the standard torsionless conformal coupling in the limit $λ\to 1$. In the corresponding Einstein-Cartan-Maxwell theory, we derive exact static solutions in asymptotically flat and asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes. These solutions describe scalar-dressed black holes, regular black holes, and traversable wormholes, depending on the values of the integration constants and of the deformation parameter. We show that torsion can regularize the scalar field and, for suitable branches, also improve the geometric singularity structure. In the AdS sector, the existence of topological black holes requires a nonvanishing electric charge. These results provide new exact examples of regular and torsional configurations in four-dimensional gravity.

Maxwell Chern-Simons gravity in 3D: Thermodynamics of cosmological solutions and black holes with torsion

We construct generalized sets of asymptotic conditions for both three-dimensional Maxwell Chern-Simons gravity and a novel extension that incorporates torsion through a deformation of the Maxwell algebra. These boundary conditions include the most general temporal components of the gauge fields that consistently preserve the corresponding asymptotic Maxwell algebras with identical classical central charges, while allowing for the inclusion of chemical potentials conjugate to the conserved charges. We show that both sets of asymptotic configurations admit nontrivial solutions carrying not only mass and angular momentum but also an additional global spin-2 charge. In the torsionless case, the theory admits locally flat cosmological spacetimes, whereas in the presence of torsion, it generalizes to BTZ-like black hole geometries. For each case, the thermodynamic properties are consistently derived in terms of the gauge fields and the topology of the Euclidean manifold, shown to correspond to a solid torus. Furthermore, we obtain a general expression for the entropy, depending on both the horizon area and its spin-2 analogues, which can be written as a reparametrization-invariant integral of the induced spin-2 fields on the spacelike section of the horizon.

AdS$_3$ Carroll gravity: asymptotic symmetries and C-thermal configurations

The asymptotic structure of three-dimensional Carroll gravity with negative cosmological constant is studied. We formulate a consistent set of boundary conditions preserved by an infinite-dimensional extension of the AdS$_3$ Carroll algebra, which turns out to be isomorphic to a precise generalized BMS$_3$ algebra. This is described by four independent functions of the circle at infinity, generating spatial superrotations, Carroll superboosts, spatial supertranslations and time supertranslations. Remarkably, this asymptotic symmetry algebra contains as subalgebras to BMS$_3$ (generated by spatial superrotations and time supertranslations) and the two-dimensional conformal algebra (spanned by spatial superrotations and spatial supertranslations). We also introduce a new solution - endowed with a Carroll extremal surface - that fulfills this set of asymptotic conditions. By taking advantage of the Chern-Simons formulation of the theory, Carroll thermal properties, obtained from regularity conditions, and entropy of the configuration are also addressed.

AdS Carroll Structures from Poincaré Isomorphism: Asymptotic Symmetry Analysis

Starting from the isomorphism between the AdS Carroll and Poincaré algebras, we map the three-dimensional asymptotically flat solutions of Poincaré gravity into an AdS Carroll spacetime. We show the mapped solutions satisfy the field equations of the Chern-Simons formulation of AdS Carroll gravity and exhibit a Carroll geometry structure. Despite the presence of a negative cosmological constant in the mapped spacetime, the algebra of the canonical generators of the asymptotic symmetries is given by the $\mathfrak{bms}_3$ algebra.

Thermodynamics of the three-dimensional black hole with torsion

The stationary black hole solution of a Chern-Simons model based on the semi-simple extension of the Poincaré gauge group is studied. The solution resembles the metric properties of the BTZ geometry but contains, in addition, non-vanishing torsion. The global structure of spacetime is characterized by three conserved charges: two associated with the mass and angular momentum and one extra constant triggered by spacetime torsion. Consequently, we show that the entropy deviates from the standard Bekenstein-Hawking value and discuss the implications of torsional charges in the context of black hole thermodynamics.

Electric/Magnetic Newton-Hooke and Carroll Jackiw-Teitelboim Gravity

We construct the electric and magnetic Newton-Hooke and Carroll Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity theories using the isomorphism of Newton-Hooke$_\pm$ and (A-)dS Carroll algebras in $(1+1)$-spacetime dimensions. The starting point is the non-relativistic and Carroll version of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity without restrictions on the geometry studied in [15].

Junction conditions in scalar-tensor theories

We analyze junction conditions at a null or non-null hypersurface $Σ$ in a large class of scalar-tensor theories in arbitrary $n(\ge 3)$ dimensions. After showing that the metric and a scalar field must be continuous at $Σ$ as the first junction conditions, we derive the second junctions conditions from the Einstein equations and the equation of motion for the scalar field. Subsequently, we study $C^1$ regular matching conditions as well as vacuum conditions at $Σ$ both in the Jordan and Einstein frames. Our result suggests that the following configurations may be possible; (i) a vacuum thin-shell at null $Σ$ in the Einstein frame, (ii) a vacuum thin-shell at null and non-null $Σ$ in the Jordan frame, and (iii) a non-vacuum $C^1$ regular matching at null $Σ$ in the Jordan frame. Lastly, we clarify the relations between the conditions for $C^1$ regularity and also for vacuum $Σ$ in the Jordan and Einstein frames.

Stringy (Galilei) Newton-Hooke Chern-Simons Gravities

We construct Chern-Simons gravities in $(2+1)$-dimensional space-time considering the Stringy Galilei algebra both with and without non-central extensions. In the first case, there is an invariant and non-degenerate bilinear form, however, the field equations do not allow to express the spin connections in terms of the dreibeins. In the second case, there is no invariant non-degenerate bilinear form. Therefore, in both cases, we do not have an ordinary gravity theory. Instead, if we consider the stringy Newton-Hooke algebra with extensions as gauge group we have an invariant non-degenerate metric and from the field equations, we express the spin connections in terms of the geometric fields.

Exact black-hole formation with a conformally coupled scalar field in three dimensions

We present exact dynamical and inhomogeneous solutions in three-dimensional AdS gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field. They contain stealth configurations of the scalar field overflying the BTZ spacetime and also solutions with a non-vanishing energy-momentum tensor. The latter non-stealth class consists of the solution obtained by Xu and its analytic extension. It is shown that this proper extension represents: (i) an eternally shrinking dynamical black hole, (ii) a curious spacetime which admits an event horizon without any trapped surface, or (iii) gravitational collapse of a scalar field in an asymptotically AdS spacetime. In the last case, by attaching the solution regularly to the past massless BTZ spacetime with a vanishing scalar field, the whole spacetime represents the black-hole formation from regular initial data in an asymptotically AdS spacetime. Depending on the parameters, the formed black hole can be asymptotically static in far future.

Non-Relativistic Maxwell Chern-Simons Gravity

We consider a non-relativistic (NR) limit of $(2+1)$-dimensional Maxwell Chern-Simons (CS) gravity with gauge algebra [Maxwell] $\oplus \ u(1)\oplus u(1)$. We obtain a finite NR CS gravity with a degenerate invariant bilinear form. We find two ways out of this difficulty: To consider i) [Maxwell] $\oplus\ u(1)$, which does not contain Extended Bargmann gravity (EBG); or, ii) the NR limit of [Maxwell] $\oplus\ u(1)\oplus u(1)\oplus u(1)$, which is a Maxwellian generalization of the EBG.

Some cosmological solutions in Einstein-Chern-Simons gravity

In this paper we find new solutions for the so called Einstein-Chern-Simons Friedmann-Robertson-Walker field equations studied in refs. (Phys. Rev. D 84 (2011) 063506, Eur. Phys. J. C 74 (2014) 3087). We consider three cases:(i) in the first case we find some solutions of the five-dimensional ChS-FRW field equations when the $h^a$ field is a perfect fluid that obeys a barotropic equation of state; (ii) in the second case we study the solutions, for the cases $γ=1/2,\ 3/4$, when the $h^a$ field is a five dimensional politropic fluid that obeys the equation $P^{(h)}=ω^{(h)}ρ^{(h)γ}$; (iii) in the third case we find the scale factor and the state parameter $ω(t)$ when the $h^a$ field is a variable modified Chaplygin gas. We consider also a space-time metric which contains as a subspace to the usual four-dimensional FRW and then we study the same three cases considered in the five-dimensional, namely when (i) the $h^a$ field is a perfect fluid, (ii) the $h^a$ field is a five dimensional politropic fluid and (iii) the $h^a$ field is a variable modified Chaplygin gas.
