I will start by reviewing the current status of the stability
problem for black holes in general relativity. In the second part of the
talk I will focus on a particular (symmetry) class of five-dimensional
dynamical black holes recently introduced by Bizon et al as a model to
study gravitational collapse in vacuum. In this context I state a recent
result establishing the asymptotic stability of the five dimensional
Schwarzschild metric with respect to vacuum perturbations in the given
class.
