abstract
We construct a two-dimensional action that is an extension of spherically symmetric Einstein-Lanczos-Lovelock gravity. The action contains arbitrary functions of the areal radius and the norm squared of its gradient, but the field equations are second order and obey Birkhoff's theorem. In complete analogy with spherically symmetric Einstein-Lanczos-Lovelock gravity, the field equations admit the generalized Misner-Sharp mass as the first integral that determines the form of the vacuum solution. The arbitrary functions in the action allow for vacuum solutions that describe a larger class of interesting nonsingular black-hole spacetimes than previously available.

Unique quasi-topological theories with first-order equations are found for Taub-NUT, NHEK, swirling and related 4D symmetric metrics, enabling closed-form solutions and regular black holes from high-order curvature corrections.
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.
RG-improved black hole spacetimes with scale-dependent gravitational coupling are derived as vacuum solutions to 2D Horndeski master field equations, embedding prior works and exposing implementation discrepancies.
Regular Vaidya solutions exist in effective gravitational theories that dynamically describe radiation-driven formation of regular black holes or mimickers without curvature singularities.
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.
Charged Bardeen and Hayward metrics become singular under deformed Einstein–Maxwell equations; more stringent regularity conditions are derived and improved regular charged metrics are constructed.
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.
