Abstract

Black holes (BHs) have many faces. Within the gauge/string duality they provide useful insights on strongly coupled quantum field theories and on quantum gravity. Furthermore, probing the strong curvature regime of any gravity theory, BHs carry the imprint of possible strong curvature corrections to General Relativity. Finally, beside their unique theoretical properties, compelling experimental evidence suggests that astrophysical BHs are very common objects in the universe. Here we discuss some applications of BH perturbation theory in various contexts. As applications in theoretical physics, we study perturbations of dilatonic BHs in Einstein-Maxwell theory and the holographic properties of the dual field theory via the Anti de Sitter/Condensed Matter duality. As applications in astrophysics, we discuss how the characteristic oscillations of BHs in string-inspired theories of gravity can provide observable signatures of deviations from Einstein’s theory. We study two well-motivated effective theories: Dynamical Chern-Simons gravity and Einstein-Dilatonic-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We conclude by discussing the BH paradigm. Motivated by the lack of a definitive answer on the existence of astrophysical BHs, we study some viable alternatives, generically called “BH mimickers”. We focus on two representative cases: static thin-shell gravastars and superspinars, discussing their stability, gravitational-wave signature and viability as astrophysical objects.
