Vacuum spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity in the midi-superspace approximation using inhomogeneous horizon-penetrating slices has been studied for a decade, and it has been noted that the singularity is eliminated. It is replaced by…
Quantum gravitational effects in black hole spacetimes with a cosmological constant $\Lambda$ are considered. The effective quantum spacetimes for the black holes are constructed by taking into account the renormalization group improvement…
We present an effective theory to describe the quantization of spherically symmetric vacuum in loop quantum gravity. We include anomaly-free holonomy corrections through a canonical transformation of the Hamiltonian of general relativity,…
Emergent modified gravity provides a covariant, effective framework for obtaining spherically symmetric black hole solutions in models of loop quantum gravity with scale-dependent holonomy modifications. Exact solutions for vacuum black…
There is rich literature on regular black holes from loop quantum gravity (LQG), where quantum geometry effects resolve the singularity, leading to a quantum extension of the classical space-time. As we will see, the mechanism that resolves…
General relativity predicts its own demise at singularities, but also appears to conveniently shield itself from the catastrophic consequences of such singularities, making them safe. For instance, if strong cosmic censorship were…
We establish that regular black holes can form from gravitational collapse. Our model builds on a recent construction that realized regular black holes as exact solutions to purely gravitational theories that incorporate an infinite tower…
We formulate holomorphic theory of gravity and study how the holomorphy symmetry alters the two most important singular solutions of general relativity: black holes and cosmology. We show that typical observers (freely) falling into a…
Coherent quantum black holes are quantum geometries obtained by means of a mean-field-like approach to the gravitational interaction. This procedure attenuates the classical spacetime singularities of general relativity by replacing them…

The divergence of curvature invariants at a given point signals the impossibility of extending the spacetime to that point, with the derivative order of these diverging invariants determining the differentiability class of the considered…
We determine hidden conformal symmetries behind the evolution equations of black hole perturbations in a vector-tensor theory of gravity. Such hidden symmetries are valid everywhere in the exterior region of a spherically symmetric,…
Black holes are extreme manifestations of general relativity, so one might hope that exotic quantum effects would be amplified in their vicinities, perhaps providing clues to quantum gravity. The commonly accepted treatment of quantum…
One of the biggest challenges to theoretical physics of our time is to find a background-independent quantum theory of gravity. Today one encounters a profusion of different attempts at quantization, but no fully accepted - or acceptable,…
The occurrence of singularities where spacetime curvature becomes infinite and geodesic evolution breaks down are inevitable events in classical general relativity (GR) unless one chooses an exotic matter violating weak energy condition.…
In this paper we try to clarify that a regular metric can generate a singular spacetime. Our work focuses on a static and spherically symmetric spacetime in which regularity exists when all components of the Riemann tensor are finite. There…
We review recent developments in the treatment of spherically symmetric black holes in loop quantum gravity. In particular, we discuss an exact solution to the quantum constraints that represents a black hole and is free of singularities.…
We investigate the black hole information paradox in the setting of pseudo-complex gravity, a covariant geometric extension of general relativity that introduces a minimal length scale by deforming the spacetime manifold. In this framework,…
