Exact solutions and spacetime singularities in nonlocal gravity
read the original abstract
We give here a list of exact classical solutions of a large class of weakly nonlocal theories of gravity, which are unitary and super-renormalizable (or finite) at quantum level. It is explicitly shown that flat and Ricci-flat spacetimes as well as maximally symmetric manifolds are exact solutions of the equation of motion. Therefore, well-known physical spacetimes like Schwarzschild, Kerr, (Anti-) de Sitter serve as solutions for standard matter content. In dimension higher than four we can also have Anti-de Sitter solutions in the presence of positive cosmological constant. We pedagogically show how to obtain these exact solutions. Furthermore, for another version of the theory, written in the Weyl basis, Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetimes are also exact solutions, when the matter content is given by conformal matter (radiation). We also comment on the presence of singularities and possible resolution of them in finite and conformally invariant theories. "Delocalization" is proposed as a way to solve the black hole singularity problem. In order to solve the problem of cosmological singularities it seems crucial to have a conformally invariant or asymptotically free quantum gravitational theory.

Regular Black Holes in Nonlocal Quasitopological Gravity
Infinite-derivative completions of quasitopological gravities are ghost-free, avoid strong coupling, and admit exact spherically symmetric vacuum regular black holes obeying a perturbative Birkhoff theorem.

Approaching a spacetime singularity in conformal gravity
Kasner spacetime is singularity-free in conformal gravity because its curvature invariants are regular and geodesics for massive, massless, and conformally coupled particles are complete.
