Any spacetime containing a degenerate Killing horizon, such as an extremal black hole, possesses a well-defined notion of a near-horizon geometry. We review such near-horizon geometry solutions in a variety of dimensions and theories in a unified manner. We discuss various general results including horizon topology and near-horizon symmetry enhancement. We also discuss the status of the classification of near-horizon geometries in theories ranging from vacuum gravity to Einstein-Maxwell theory and supergravity theories. Finally, we discuss applications to the classification of extremal black holes and various related topics. Several new results are presented and open problems are highlighted throughout.

Living on the Edge of Effective Field Theory: Near-Extremal Black Holes in Quadratic Gravity
Near-extremal black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity have a regular extremal endpoint matching the deformed near-horizon Kerr throat, while in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity the extremal throat is disconnected fro...

Black Hole Entropy Beyond the Wald Term in Nonminimally Coupled Gravity: A Covariant Phase Space Decomposition
Black hole entropy in diffeomorphism-invariant nonminimal gravity decomposes as S_H = S_W + S_1 + ΔS, with the extra terms required for bumblebee and Weyl-vector Gauss-Bonnet solutions but not for regular Kalb-Ramond ...

Optical Characteristics of the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Black Hole
For the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black hole, the magnetic field mainly enlarges the shadow and Einstein ring while rotation mainly distorts the shadow shape, and current M87* and Sgr A* data give only weak bounds on the field.

(Anti-)evaporation of Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes revisited
Within the Bousso-Hawking effective action, the Schwarzschild-de Sitter asymptotic is excluded, which undermines earlier anti-evaporation results that used the Nariai limit.

The extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om throat from non extremal near horizon expansions
String Carroll first-order data miss the RN AdS2×S2 throat; second-order (EF) or all-order radial (static) terms restore it under near-extremal scaling.
