abstract

In this paper, we show that a minimally coupled 3-form endowed with a proper potential can support a regular black hole interior. By choosing an appropriate form for the metric function representing the radius of the 2-sphere, we solve for the 3-form field and its potential. Using the obtained solution, we construct an interior black hole spacetime which is everywhere regular. The singularity is replaced with a Nariai-type spacetime, whose topology is $\text{dS}_2 \times \text{S}^2$, in which the radius of the 2-sphere is constant. So long as the interior continues to expand indefinitely, the geometry becomes essentially compactified. The 2-dimensional de Sitter geometry appears despite the negative potential of the 3-form field. Such a dynamical compactification could shed some light on the origin of de Sitter geometry of our Universe, exacerbated by the Swampland conjecture. In addition, we show that the spacetime is geodesically complete. The geometry is singularity-free due to the violation of the null energy condition.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fitting a Gaussian-potential 3-form dark-energy model to Planck, DESI, Pantheon+, Cepheid and DES data shifts H0 up by only ~0.4 km/s/Mpc and yields a weak statistical preference over ΛCDM.

  2. Scaling solutions in three-form cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A generalized three-form dark-energy Lagrangian admits stable scaling attractors that track the dominant cosmic fluid and, via a double-potential extension, exit to late-time acceleration — physical content dual to kn...

  3. Null geodesics, causal structure, and matter accretion in Lorentzian-Euclidean black holes

    gr-qc 2025-07 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the Lorentzian-Euclidean black hole, photons and massive particles are claimed to be unable to cross the event horizon, making the spacetime geodesically complete and avoiding the central singularity.

  4. Vector wormholes as conduits for matter interaction

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Massive one-form fields, with a reconstructed self-interacting potential, can support traversable wormholes while ordinary matter in a specially tuned case satisfies all classical energy conditions.

  5. Three-form dark energy: constraints and multi-probe comparison with $\Lambda$CDM

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Three-form dark energy with Gaussian potential is fitted to multi-probe cosmological data and shows mild statistical preference over ΛCDM only in heavily tensioned dataset combinations.

    gr-qc 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review arguing that black hole remnants remain viable and that the species and entropy objections to them are not decisive, so remnants could resolve the information paradox.
