The conditions are clarified under which regular (i.e., singularity-free) black holes can exist. It is shown that in a large class of spacetimes that satisfy the weak energy condition the existence of a regular black hole requires topology change.

  1. Inflation driven by repulsive-like primordial black holes

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Repulsive-like primordial black holes in the Swiss-cheese framework produce quasi-de Sitter expansion, enabling inflation with evaporation reheating and acting as early dark energy for certain masses and densities.

  2. Finite Curvature Construction of Regular Black Holes and Quasinormal Mode Analysis

    gr-qc 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Regular black holes are built by prescribing finite Ricci or Weyl scalars with Gaussian, sech, and rational profiles to ensure regularity and energy conditions, with stability shown to depend on the peak-to-valley rat...
