abstract

We find a plethora of new analytic black holes and globally regular horizonless spacetimes in three dimensions. The solutions involve a single real scalar field $\phi$ which always admits a magnetic-like expression proportional to the angular coordinate. The new metrics, which satisfy $g_{tt}g_{rr}=-1$ and represent continuous generalizations of the BTZ one, solve the equations of Einstein gravity corrected by a new family of densities (controlled by unconstrained couplings) constructed from positive powers of $(\partial \phi)^2$ and certain linear combinations of $R^{ab} \partial_a \phi \partial_b \phi$ and $(\partial \phi)^2 R$. Some of the solutions obtained describe black holes with one or several horizons. A set of them possesses curvature singularities, while others have conical or BTZ-like ones. Interestingly, in some cases the black holes have no singularity at all, being completely regular. Some of the latter are achieved without any kind of fine tuning or constraint between the action parameters and/or the physical charges of the solution. An additional class of solutions describes globally regular and horizonless geometries.

  1. Dynamical Formation of Regular Black Holes

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In quasi-topological gravity, a collapsing thin shell bounces at small radius, producing a regular, geodesically complete black hole instead of a singularity.

  2. Regular black holes from thin-shell collapse

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In D≥5 pure gravity with an infinite tower of higher-curvature terms, spherical thin-shell collapse generically produces regular black holes that bounce into new universes.

  3. Optimal Control Theory of the (2+1)-Dimensional BTZ Black Hole

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Geodesics of the Weinhold and Ruppeiner thermodynamic metrics are computed for the BTZ black hole and interpreted as optimal evaporation/accretion protocols.

  4. Joule-Thomson Effect and Geodesic Structure of Charged AdS Black Holes in f(R,T) Coupled with Nonlinear Electrodynamics

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Charge most strongly controls JT inversion and cooling domains of the f(R,T)-NLED AdS black hole; NLED and modified-gravity parameters supply only sub-leading corrections that leave exterior geodesics close to RN-AdS.
