Regular black holes with nonsingular cores have been considered in several approaches to quantum gravity, and as agnostic frameworks to address the singularity problem and Hawking's information paradox. While in a recent work we argued that the inner core is destabilized by linear perturbations, opposite claims were raised that regular black holes have in fact stable cores. To reconcile these arguments, we discuss a generalization of the geometrical framework, originally applied to Reissner--Nordtsr\"om black holes by Ori, and show that regular black holes have an exponentially growing Misner--Sharp mass at the inner horizon. This result can be taken as an indication that stable nonsingular black hole spacetimes are not the definitive endpoint of a quantum gravity regularization mechanism, and that nonperturbative backreaction effects must be taken into account in order to provide a consistent description of the quantum-gravitational endpoint of gravitational stellar collapse.

  1. On mass inflation and thin shells in quasi-topological gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity lack null thin shells in standard distributional theory, invalidating the usual mass inflation derivation and leaving inner horizon stability unresolved.

  2. Analog regular black holes and black hole mimickers for surface-gravity waves in fluids

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Surface-gravity waves in shallow water can be configured with central and graded drainage to analogize regular black holes and mimickers, enabling lab study of their instabilities.

  3. Regular Vaidya solutions of effective gravitational theories

    gr-qc 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Regular Vaidya solutions exist in effective gravitational theories that dynamically describe radiation-driven formation of regular black holes or mimickers without curvature singularities.

  4. Charging up regular black holes

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Charged Bardeen and Hayward metrics become singular under deformed Einstein–Maxwell equations; more stringent regularity conditions are derived and improved regular charged metrics are constructed.

  5. Regular black hole with sub-Planckian curvature and suppressed exponential mass inflation

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A regular black hole metric is constructed with sub-Planckian curvature controlled by the inner horizon radius and power-law rather than exponential mass inflation near the inner horizon.

  6. Energy conditions in static, spherically symmetric spacetimes and effective geometries

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A logarithmic correction to Schwarzschild in static spherical symmetry obeys all classical energy conditions and serves as an effective exterior for horizon-bearing and horizonless compact objects.

  7. Dark matter production from evaporation of regular primordial black holes

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Regular primordial black holes can evaporate completely like singular ones and yield the observed dark matter density under modified cosmological constraints.
