abstract

We study the quantum gravitational collapse of spherically symmetric pressureless dust. Using an effective equation derived from a polymer quantization in the connection-triad phase space variables of general relativity, we find numerically, for a variety of initial dust configurations, that (i) trapped surfaces form and disappear as an initially collapsing density profile evolves into an outgoing shockwave; (ii) black hole lifetime is proportional to the square of its mass; and (iii) there is no mass inflation at inner apparent horizons. These results provide a substantially different view of black hole formation and subsequent evolution than found from semiclassical analyses.

Quantum gravitational stellar evolution beyond shell-crossing singularities

gr-qc · 2026-01-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A Hamiltonian formulation of Darmois-Israel junction conditions extends LQG-inspired stellar collapse models beyond shell-crossing singularities by treating them as timelike thin dust shells, yielding an inter-universal wormhole with continuous induced metric.

Dust collapse in asymptotic safety: a path to regular black holes

gr-qc · 2023-08-21 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Dust collapse in asymptotically safe gravity produces singularity-free black hole spacetimes via a matter-geometry coupling χ that vanishes the gravitational constant at high energies, with exterior fixed by junction conditions.
