Cover Story: In the present article, black holes free of the central singularity, dubbed regular (or non-singular) black holes are investigated. Regular black holes have two horizons: an outer event horizon and an inner Cauchy horizon, a space-time structure similar to that resulting from studies of the gravitational collapse based on Loop Quantum Gravity. The extreme case, when the two horizons coincide, has a zero surface temperature and, therefore, they can be imagined to be in a “ground-state”, since no Hawking radiation is possible. The basic idea developed in this article assumes that the mass distribution scale characterizing the space-time is fixed by the Riemann invariant, computed in the context of Loop Quantum Gravity. In this case, extreme black holes would have masses comparable to the Planck mass (tens of micrograms), and would have been formed just after the inflation era. View Paper here.

The Bronnikov model of nonlinear electrodynamics is investigated in general relativity. The magnetic black hole is considered and we obtain a solution giving corrections to the Reissner-Nordström solution. In this model spacetime at r → ∞ becom...

In this work we investigate the effect a crystalline quark–hadron mixed phase can have on the neutrino emissivity from the cores of neutron stars. To this end we use relativistic mean-field equations of state to model hadronic matter and a nonl...

We present a systematic review of thermodynamics of horizons in regular spherically symmetric spacetimes of the Kerr-Schild class, d s 2 = g ( r ) d t 2 − g − 1 ( r ) d r 2 − r 2 d Ω 2 , both asymptotic...

The possibility that dark matter particles could be constituted by extreme regular primordial black holes is discussed. Extreme black holes have zero surface temperature, and are not subjected to the Hawking evaporation process. Assuming that the com...
