The Vaidya spacetime is a spherically symmetric solution of the Einstein equations with a null dust source. This can be used to model the gravitational collapse of a thick shell of radiation: a flat interior region is matched at an inner boundary to the null dust filled region, which is then matched at an outer boundary to Schwazschild spacetime. A central singularity inevitably forms, and depending on the profile of the energy density of the null dust, this singularity can be globally naked. Motivated by the cosmic censorship hypothesis, we consider perturbations of this configuration. We review previous work, and describe recent work where the perturbation of the inner boundary - the past null cone of the central singularity - is analysed using a framework for studying perturbations of general hypersurfaces. This sets boundary conditions for perturbations at the past null cone, and we then consider the evolutionary problem, focussing on the question of the stability of the Cauchy horizon of the naked singularity.

In this talk, I will present new rotating black hole solutions of the low-energy effective action of string theory in three and four dimensions. These geometries are asymptotically flat with a linear dilaton vacuum and exhibit unusual thermodynamic properties, including a mass-independent Hawking temperature. I will also discuss charged extensions, which lead to closed time-like curves inside the inner horizon. Finally, I will show that these solutions arise from the large-d limit of singly rotating Myers–Perry black holes.
TBA
I will describe a new construction of Ricci flat metrics using gauged linear sigma models satisfying the Calabi-Yau condition. The approach will be introductory using elementary examples to illustrate the main points and to underline the connection between physical and mathematical concepts.
