We develop a general algorithm that enables the consistent embedding of any four-
dimensional static and spherically symmetric geometry into any five-dimensional single …

It is still an open question whether increasing life expectancy as such causes higher health
care expenditures (HCE) in a population. According to the “red herring” hypothesis, the …

We consider a five-dimensional theory with a scalar field nonminimally coupled to gravity,
and we look for novel black-string solutions in the bulk. By appropriately choosing the …

In this work, we construct a five-dimensional spherically symmetric, charged and
asymptotically anti–de Sitter black hole with its singularity being pointlike and strictly …

In the context of brane-world models, we pursue the question of the existence of five-
dimensional solutions describing regular black holes localized close to the brane …

We construct from first principles the geometry of an analytic, exponentially localized five-
dimensional brane-world black hole. The black-hole singularity lies entirely on the 3-brane …

The brane world description of our Universe entails a large extra dimension and a
fundamental scale of gravity that may be lower than the Planck scale by several orders of …

In the context of a five-dimensional theory with a scalar field nonminimally coupled to gravity,
we look for solutions that describe novel black-string or maximally symmetric solutions in the …

We perform a comprehensive analysis of a number of scalar field theories in an attempt to
find analytically five-dimensional, localised-on-the-brane, black-hole solutions. Extending a …

In the context of this dissertation, we study the emergence of black-string and black-hole
solutions in the framework of five-dimensional braneworld models. The main motivation for …
