Aspects of Black Hole Physics Beyond General Relativity: extra dimensions, horizon wave function and applications
This work is devoted to investigate some consequences of black holes physics beyond the domain of general relativity, mainly in effective extra dimensional models. The investigation is carried along three gravitational effects, namely the Hawking radiation, the strong deflection of gravitational lensing and the formation of quantum black holes. A cosmological thick brane solution is also investigated. Effective theories and models provide a prominent approach for testing the limits of known theories and show what would be expected beyond that. Based on such idea we have used effective models for finding deviations of general relativity associated to each of the mentioned phenomena.
