Behavior of the Newtonian potential for ghost-free gravity and singularity-free gravity
read the original abstract
In this paper we show that there is a universal prediction for the Newtonian potential for an infinite derivative, ghost-free, quadratic curvature gravity. We show that in order to make such a theory ghost-free at a perturbative level, the Newtonian potential always falls-off as 1/r in the infrared limit, while at short distances the potential becomes non-singular. We provide examples which can potentially test the scale of gravitational non-locality up to 0.004 eV.

Carr criterion and mass gaps in non-singular primordial black hole formation
Non-singular gravity with regulator ℓ induces a PBH mass gap ~c²ℓ/G and a stronger Carr criterion δ_H > 2GM_gap/R_H - 1 when R_H ~ ℓ.

Eikonal, nonlocality and regular black holes
Nonlocal form factors in D-dimensional gravity yield effective geometries whose nonlinear completion gives regular, asymptotically flat Schwarzschild deformations with de Sitter cores.
