The lack of rotating black hole models, which are typically found in nature, in loop quantum gravity (LQG) substantially hinders the progress of testing LQG from observations. Starting with a non-rotating LQG black hole as a seed metric, we construct a rotating spacetime using the revised Newman-Janis algorithm. The rotating solution is non-singular everywhere and it reduces to the Kerr black hole asymptotically. In different regions of the parameter space, the solution describes i) a wormhole without event horizon (which, we show, is almost ruled out by observations), ii) a black hole with a spacelike transition surface inside the event horizon, or iii) a black hole with a timelike transition region inside the inner horizon. It is shown how fundamental parameters of LQG can be constrained by the observational implications of the shadow cast by this object. The causal structure of our solution depends crucially only on the spacelike transition surface of the non-rotating seed metric, while being agnostic about specific details of the latter, and therefore captures universal features of an effective rotating, non-singular black hole in LQG.

White Dwarf Stellar Structure from Effective Polymer Geometry in Loop Quantum Gravity
An effective LQG polymer metric applied to white dwarf TOV equations shows a free amplitude A_lambda can raise the maximum mass above the Chandrasekhar limit, while the mass asymmetry ratio eta has subpercent effects.

Junction Conditions, Radial Stability, Thermodynamics, Optical Geometry and Appearance of Polymer-Quintessence Thin-Shell Wormholes
Keeping the nonareal polymer angular sector in a polymer-quintessence thin-shell wormhole adds a momentum-flux term that reshapes stability, thermodynamics, and cross-throat image branches.

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

Complex degenerate metrics in general relativity: a covariant extension of the Moore-Penrose algorithm
A covariant Moore-Penrose algorithm for complex degenerate metrics is formulated, but its uniqueness and torsion interpretation depend on an arbitrary auxiliary metric and the central proof is incomplete.

Observable thin accretion disk around a self-dual black hole in loop quantum gravity
A self-dual loop quantum black hole is shown to look smaller and brighter than Schwarzschild in thin disk models, with the polymer parameter P bounded by Mercury and S2 star data.

Polymer Black Hole Surrounded by Quintessence
A polymer black hole with quintessence yields a shadow that can match Sgr A* for many combinations of free parameters while cooling and dimming the black hole.
