The continuation of the Schwarzschild metric across the event horizon is almost always (in textbooks) carried out using the Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates, in terms of which the areal radius r is defined only implicitly. We argue that from a pedagogical point of view, using these coordinates comes with several drawbacks, and we advocate the use of simpler, but equally effective, coordinate systems. One such system, introduced by Painleve and Gullstrand in the 1920's, is especially simple and pedagogically powerful; it is, however, still poorly known today. One of our purposes here is therefore to popularize these coordinates. Our other purpose is to provide generalizations to the Painleve-Gullstrand coordinates, first within the specific context of Schwarzschild spacetime, and then in the context of more general spherical spacetimes.

Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals Embedded in Dark Matter Halo: Existence of Homoclinic Orbit and Horizon-Induced Chaos
A Schwarzschild black hole embedded in a Dehnen dark-matter halo admits homoclinic orbits, and raising halo density, scale radius, or particle energy drives near-horizon motion from regular to chaotic while respecting...

Wind-Finslerian structure of black holes
The causal structure of black holes, including horizons and interiors, can be encoded in wind-Finsler metrics whose shifted indicatrices track null geodesics.

Chaotic Imprints in Gravitational Waves from Conformal-Anomaly-Corrected Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals
Gravitational-wave imprints are computed for trapped orbits in a conformal-anomaly-corrected black hole spacetime, but the chaotic motion is produced by an external harmonic potential rather than the anomaly itself.

Forces parallel to particle trajectories in relativistic gravity
A pedagogical note claims that parallel forces in cosmology and scalar-tensor gravity can be reparametrized away, but its claim that such forces occur generally in Einstein frame scalar-tensor gravity relies on an inv...
