Gravitational Physics, Black Holes and Space–Time Symmetry

Dear Colleagues,

The aims of this Special Issue on the Gravitational Physics and Black Hole solutions are to present and highlight the most recent research developments in this topic and the possible spacetime symmetries. This Special Issue will target the gravitational interaction solutions implying the Black Hole (BH), Neutron Stars (NSs), White Dwarf (WD) or any other astrophysical objects. The favored approaches and frameworks are the General Relativity and F(R)-type theories, but also alternative approaches in gravity such as teleparallel gravities and geometries (F(T)-type, New General Relativity, F(Q)-type and other extensions), quantum gravity, string and superstring, to name only a few. We will also focus on space–time structures and symmetries concerning the gravitational and/or astrophysical solutions. Any contribution concerning astrophysical and gravitational physics will be welcome, especially those implying spacetime symmetries, including Riemann and/or teleparallel geometry. We also extend the scope to the mathematics of General Relativity and gravity approaches useful for the topics of this Special Issue.

We hope that new contributions will also be able to interconnect with these same recent advances. In addition, we are open to contributions regarding mathematical innovations in Gravitational Physics, which is an interesting subject in full development.

We look forward to receiving your contributions. The deadline is on 28 November 2025.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
