abstract

Over the past three decades, black holes have played an important role in quantum gravity, mathematical physics, numerical relativity and gravitational wave phenomenology. However, conceptual settings and mathematical models used to discuss them have varied considerably from one area to another. Over the last five years a new, quasi-local framework was introduced to analyze diverse facets of black holes in a unified manner. In this framework, evolving black holes are modeled by dynamical horizons and black holes in equilibrium by isolated horizons. We review basic properties of these horizons and summarize applications to mathematical physics, numerical relativity and quantum gravity. This paradigm has led to significant generalizations of several results in black hole physics. Specifically, it has introduced a more physical setting for black hole thermodynamics and for black hole entropy calculations in quantum gravity; suggested a phenomenological model for hairy black holes; provided novel techniques to extract physics from numerical simulations; and led to new laws governing the dynamics of black holes in exact general relativity.

Horizon Multipole Moments of a Kerr Black Hole

gr-qc · 2026-02-05 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Horizon multipole moments of a Kerr black hole are computed in closed form from two definitions, yielding different values for l >= 1 at nonzero spin and sharing parity and small-spin scaling with field multipoles.

Cusp Formation in Merging Black Hole Horizons

gr-qc · 2026-05-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

Numerical study of cusp formation on horizons in head-on non-spinning black hole mergers, with analysis of mass and multipole behavior at the cusp and a proposed phenomenological model.

Hawking radiation from black holes in 2+1 dimensions

gr-qc · 2026-04-23 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

Black hole horizons in 2+1D are composed of quantized length quanta 8π ℓ_P n, producing entropy near the Bekenstein-Hawking value and a local Hawking spectrum via a length ensemble.

Magnetized dynamical black holes

gr-qc · 2026-01-13 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A novel exact solution describes a dynamical black hole dressed with a time-dependent scalar field and immersed in an axisymmetric time-dependent electromagnetic field, where time dependence may cloak curvature singularities.

Radiating black holes in general relativity need not be singular

gr-qc · 2025-10-23 · conditional · novelty 6.0

A spherically symmetric charged black hole evaporating via Hawking radiation can remain regular, with neither a singularity nor a Cauchy horizon, due to electromagnetic repulsion and energy-condition violation.

Homothetic Killing horizons in generic Vaidya spacetimes

gr-qc · 2026-04-10 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Vaidya-type dynamical black holes admit homothetic Killing vectors only for linear-in-null-time mass/charge/rotation profiles, and the resulting homothetic Killing horizons carry surface gravities obeying a flux-balance first law.

Thermodynamics of dynamical black holes beyond perturbation theory

gr-qc · 2026-03-31 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Quasi-local dynamical horizons admit a first law for finite, far-from-equilibrium processes and a quantitative second law tying area growth to energy fluxes, so black-hole entropy is the area of marginally trapped surfaces.

Interior marginally outer trapped surfaces in Hayward black holes

gr-qc · 2026-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Interior MOTS in Hayward black holes are located via the b-parameter metric, with self-intersecting pairs identified and positions near the inner horizon given by hypergeometric functions from a singular Sturm-Liouville reduction whose eigenspace is complete but non-discrete and discontinuous.

Entanglement Entropy and Thermodynamics of Dynamical Black Holes

hep-th · 2025-09-06 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In f(R) theories, the replica-method gravitational entropy computed on the apparent horizon matches the Hollands-Wald-Zhang dynamical black hole entropy and satisfies the first law, while the event horizon does not; this lets the generalized second law be reinterpreted as matter entanglement across

Dynamical Black Hole Thermodynamics in Modified Gravity

gr-qc · 2026-04-03 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In Modified Gravity, a scalar breathing-mode perturbation yields non-thermal radiation and second-order entropy production, while a running MOG parameter α(M) quenches Hawking radiation into a stable remnant.
