abstract

We study a simple theory based on general relativity, minimally coupled to a constrained scalar triplet and to an auxiliary non-propagating three-form sector. Within a spherically symmetric hedgehog ansatz, the theory admits a continuous exact family of asymptotically flat geometrically regular black holes. For a simple choice of kinetic function, the solutions possess a de Sitter core and approach Schwarzschild with the first correction appearing only at order $r^{-4}$. We analyse their horizon structure, thermodynamics, and main strong-field properties. The black holes carry topological scalar hair and a continuous secondary parameter, but no scalar charge. The regularity established here is geometric: the curvature invariants remain finite, although the matter sector is not completely smooth at the centre.

Families of regular spacetimes and energy conditions

gr-qc · 2026-05-05 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

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.

(Super-)renormalizable hairy meronic black holes

hep-th · 2026-04-28 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Analytical black hole solutions are constructed in Einstein-Maxwell-Yang-Mills theory with conformally coupled scalars, generalizing MTZ and AC solutions by including non-Abelian gauge fields determined by horizon curvature.
