abstract
Recently, in [arXiv:2403.04827], it was demonstrated that various regular black hole metrics can be derived within a theory featuring an infinite number of higher curvature corrections to General Relativity. Moreover, truncating this infinite series at the first few orders already yields a reliable approximation of the observable characteristics of such black holes [arXiv:2403.07848]. Here, we further establish the existence of another regular black hole solution, particularly the $D$-dimensional extension of the Dymnikova black hole, within the equations of motion incorporating an infinite tower of higher-curvature corrections. This solution is essentially nonperturbative in the coupling parameter, rendering the action, if it exists, incapable of being approximated by a finite number of powers of the curvature. In addition, we compute the dominant quasinormal frequencies of such black holes using both the Bernstein polynomial method and the 13th order WKB method with Pad\'e approximants, obtaining a high degree of agreement between them.

A classification of admissible energy density profiles with bounded Kretschmann scalar yields a unified framework for regular static spherically symmetric spacetimes satisfying the weak energy condition, recovering known models and producing new families with hypergeometric and other closed forms.
Regular black holes in the bulk of quasi-topological gravity drive a de Sitter inflationary phase on the brane at small scales, with e-fold number set by the ratio of black hole radius to higher-curvature scale.
All integrable 2D Horndeski theories (and thus many regular black-hole metrics) arise as spherical reductions of pure d≥4 gravities, which the paper terms quasi-topological.
Near the wormhole endpoint, the WKB approximation misestimates Hawking luminosities by orders of magnitude; direct numerical greybody factors lengthen an illustrative lifetime estimate by a factor of about 85.
Quasinormal frequencies for massless fields in Proca-hairy de Sitter black holes show scalar ℓ=0 modes most sensitive to hair parameter Q, with damping weakening near the three-horizon regime.
Positive tidal charge in this brane-world black hole lowers the effective potential barrier, pushes massive scalar quasinormal modes toward arbitrarily long lifetimes, and increases transmission and absorption.
Regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity produce shifted electromagnetic absorption spectra and modified photon sphere radii relative to singular Tangherlini solutions, with deviations suppressed as spacetime dimensions increase.
Higher dimensional regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity have suppressed grey-body factors and Hawking radiation compared to singular black holes in general relativity.
Lorentzian-Euclidean black holes produce excess inner-shadow intensity and accumulate energy at the horizon with backreaction unlike stable light rings.
Increasing zero-point length makes photon and ISCO orbits more compact in ADM units while heavier scalars raise oscillation frequency and suppress damping on this regular self-energy black hole.
Numerical greybody factors for the Dymnikova black hole show temperature-driven luminosity suppression near the extremal remnant, with increasing fermion dominance in the residual massless flux.
Numerical scattering calculations for neutral scalar and Dirac fields on Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg-de Sitter black holes show that Euler-Heisenberg coupling raises barriers and shifts transmission frequencies upward while cosmological constant lowers thresholds, with luminosity highly sensitive to t
Massive scalar perturbations of de Sitter black holes in generalized Proca theory enter a large-mass regime with linearly growing real frequencies and constant damping rates, without true quasi-resonances, plus an analytic formula and shifts due to black-hole size and Proca hair.
Massive scalar perturbations on the Dymnikova regular black hole exhibit growing oscillation frequencies, reduced damping rates leading to quasi-resonances, power-law oscillatory tails, and mass-dependent suppression of grey-body factors.
Dymnikova black hole geometry is realized via Maxwell sources in unimodular gravity with radially dependent Lambda, producing a regular electric field from a localized charge distribution that has zero net asymptotic charge.
