We give here a list of exact classical solutions of a large class of weakly nonlocal theories of gravity, which are unitary and super-renormalizable (or finite) at quantum level. It is explicitly shown that flat and Ricci-flat spacetimes as…

In this paper, we present three exact solutions to the Einstein field equations, each illustrating different black hole models. The first solution introduces a black hole with a variable equation of state, $P = k(r)\rho$, which can…

We prove a No-Go theorem for singularity resolution in gravitational collapse: within any analytic gravitational theory, including general relativity and all theories with polynomial actions, quantum corrections introduced solely as…

We develop here a new procedure within Einstein's theory of gravity to generate equilibrium configurations that result as the final state of gravitational collapse from regular initial conditions. As a simplification, we assume that the…

We describe the null geometry of a multiple black hole event horizon in terms of a conformal rescaling of a flat space null hypersurface. For the prolate spheroidal case, we show that the method reproduces the pair-of-pants shaped horizon…

In this paper, we study the gravitational collapse of matter fields, which include dust, perfect fluids as well as fluids admitting bulk and shear viscosity. The initial conditions on these matter fields have been kept to be quite general:…

It is now known that when a massive star collapses under the force of its own gravity, the final fate of such a continual gravitational collapse will be either a black hole or a naked singularity under a wide variety of physically…

We present new regular black hole solutions in general relativity (GR) within a static, spherically symmetric framework governed by a variable equation of state, following the approach of [Class. Quant. Grav. 42, 025024 (2025)]. The matter…

In this work, we study the possibility of generalizing solutions of regular black holes with an electric charge, constructed in general relativity, for the $f(G)$ theory, where $G$ is the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. This type of solution arises…

Black hole solutions in general relativity come with pathologies such as singularity and mass inflation instability, which are believed to be cured by a yet-to-be-found quantum theory of gravity. Without such consistent description, one may…

Recent perturbative studies have shown the existence of long-lived, quasi-stationary configurations of scalar fields around black holes. In particular, such configurations have been found to survive for cosmological timescales, which is a…

Singularity theorems demonstrate the inevitable breakdown of the concept of continuous, classical spacetime under highly general conditions. Quantum gravity is expected to intervene to avoid singularities and models so far hint towards…

We investigate stationary rotationally symmetric solutions of a particular truncation of Horndeski theory in three dimensions, including a non-minimal scalar kinetic coupling to the curvature. After discussing the special case of a…

In this paper we study the issue of the role of nonlocality as a possible ingredient to solve long standing problems in the physics of black holes. To achieve this goal we analytically derive new black hole metrics improved by corrections…

We discuss black holes in an effective theory derived from a superstring model, which includes a dilaton field, a gauge field and the Gauss-Bonnet term. Assuming U(1) or SU(2) symmetry for the gauge field, we find four types of spherically…
