abstract

We present a rotating regular black hole whose inner horizon has zero surface gravity for any value of the spin parameter, and is therefore stable against mass inflation. Our metric is built by combining two successful strategies for regularizing singularities, i.e. by replacing the mass parameter with a function of $r$ and by introducing a conformal factor. The mass function controls the properties of the inner horizon, whose displacement away from the Kerr geometry's inner horizon is quantified in terms of a parameter $e$; while the conformal factor regularizes the singularity in a way that is parametrized by the dimensionful quantity $b$. The resulting line element not only avoids the stability issues that are common to regular black hole models endowed with inner horizons, but is also free of problematic properties of the Kerr geometry, such as the existence of closed timelike curves. While the proposed metric has all the phenomenological relevant features of singular rotating black holes -- such as ergospheres, light ring and innermost stable circular orbit -- showing a remarkable similarity to a Kerr black hole in its exterior, it allows nonetheless sizable deviations, especially for large values of the spin parameter $a$. In this sense, the proposed rotating "inner-degenarate" regular black hole solution is not only amenable to further theoretical investigations but most of all can represent a viable geometry to contrast to the Kerr one in future phenomenological tests.

  1. Semiclassical regularity of compact trapped regions: From dynamical horizons to inner extremality

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In finite-lifetime dynamical geometries the in-vacuum RSET stays finite at the inner horizon, growing exponentially for non-extremal cases but only as a power law for inner-extremal ones.

  2. Scalar perturbations and strong cosmic censorship in a regular ABGB-de Sitter black hole spacetime

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In regular ABGB-de Sitter black holes, near-extremal scalar perturbations decay fast enough (β>1/2) to violate strong cosmic censorship, and adding scalar mass can push the regularity parameter past β=1.

  3. Taming the Aretakis instability: extremal black holes with multi-degenerate horizons

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Black holes with infinitely degenerate horizons are proposed to be stable against Aretakis instability, potentially serving as end states.

  4. Regular black holes with Minkowskian cores: causal structure and observational degeneracy

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Regular black holes with Minkowskian cores constructed by gravitational decoupling produce shadows and accretion-disk images nearly indistinguishable from Kerr/Schwarzschild despite radically different interiors.

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

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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. Regular black holes with Minkowskian cores: causal structure and observational degeneracy

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A new family of regular black holes with Minkowskian cores is built via gravitational decoupling; their shadows and thin-disk images are nearly indistinguishable from Schwarzschild/Kerr, though the weak-energy-conditi...

  7. Thermodynamic Phase Transitions and Quantum Entropy Corrections in the Simpson-Visser Regular Black Hole

    gr-qc 2025-12 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    For the Simpson-Visser regular black hole, the heat capacity diverges at a = √2 m, but the claimed quantum entropy corrections are internally inconsistent: the 1/a² term has the wrong sign and the remnant-entropy form...
