Abstract
Standard models of "regular black holes" typically have asymptotically de Sitter regions at their cores. Herein we shall consider novel "hollow" regular black holes, those with asymptotically Minkowski cores. The reason for doing so is twofold: First, these models greatly simplify the physics in the deep core, and second, one can trade off rather messy cubic and quartic polynomial equations for somewhat more elegant special functions such as exponentials and the increasingly important Lambert function. While these "hollow" regular black holes share many features with the Bardeen/Hayward/Frolov regular black holes there are also significant differences.
