In this review we summarize, expand, and set in context recent developments on the
thermodynamics of black holes in extended phase space, where the cosmological constant …

The wide applications of higher dimensional gravity and gauge/gravity duality have fuelled
the search for new stationary solutions of the Einstein equation (possibly coupled to matter) …

We argue that the main feature behind novel properties of higher-dimensional black holes,
compared to four-dimensional ones, is that their horizons can have two characteristic …

A bstract We use the inverse-dimensional expansion to compute analytically the frequencies
of a set of quasinormal modes of static black holes of Einstein-(Anti-) de Sitter gravity …

A bstract By employing the new ultraspinning limit we construct novel classes of black holes
with non-compact event horizons and finite horizon area and study their thermo-dynamics …

We propose a new method to consider D-brane probes in thermal backgrounds. The method
builds on the recently developed blackfold approach to higher-dimensional black holes …

Using the blackfold approach, we study new classes of higher-dimensional rotating black
holes with electric charges and string dipoles, in theories of gravity coupled to a 2-form or 3 …

A bstract We study the stability of odd-dimensional rotating black holes with equal angular
momenta by performing an expansion in the inverse of the number of dimensions D …

We develop the effective worldvolume theory for the dynamics of black branes with charges
of the kind that arise in many supergravities and low-energy limits of string theory. Using this …

This is a review on brane effective actions, their symmetries and some of their applications.
Its first part covers the Green-Schwarz formulation of single M-and D-brane effective actions …
