abstract

We present a rotating regular black hole whose inner horizon has zero surface gravity for any value of the spin parameter, and is therefore stable against mass inflation. Our metric is built by combining two successful strategies for regularizing singularities, i.e. by replacing the mass parameter with a function of $r$ and by introducing a conformal factor. The mass function controls the properties of the inner horizon, whose displacement away from the Kerr geometry's inner horizon is quantified in terms of a parameter $e$; while the conformal factor regularizes the singularity in a way that is parametrized by the dimensionful quantity $b$. The resulting line element not only avoids the stability issues that are common to regular black hole models endowed with inner horizons, but is also free of problematic properties of the Kerr geometry, such as the existence of closed timelike curves. While the proposed metric has all the phenomenological relevant features of singular rotating black holes -- such as ergospheres, light ring and innermost stable circular orbit -- showing a remarkable similarity to a Kerr black hole in its exterior, it allows nonetheless sizable deviations, especially for large values of the spin parameter $a$. In this sense, the proposed rotating "inner-degenarate" regular black hole solution is not only amenable to further theoretical investigations but most of all can represent a viable geometry to contrast to the Kerr one in future phenomenological tests.

  1. Semiclassical regularity of compact trapped regions: From dynamical horizons to inner extremality

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In finite-lifetime dynamical geometries the in-vacuum RSET stays finite at the inner horizon, growing exponentially for non-extremal cases but only as a power law for inner-extremal ones.

  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. Scalar perturbations and strong cosmic censorship in a regular ABGB-de Sitter black hole spacetime

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In regular ABGB-de Sitter black holes, near-extremal scalar perturbations decay fast enough (β>1/2) to violate strong cosmic censorship, and adding scalar mass can push the regularity parameter past β=1.

  4. Regular black holes from Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse

    gr-qc 2025-05 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    In quasi-topological gravities in D>=5 with infinite higher-curvature towers, Oppenheimer-Snyder dust collapse bounces at a finite minimum radius, yielding regular black holes and bouncing FLRW cosmologies.

  5. Regular black holes inspired by quasi-topological gravity

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new family of 2D dilaton-gravity models produces exact, regular black hole metrics whose curvature obeys a universal scaling law and a linear master equation.

  6. Inner horizon instability via the trace anomaly effective action

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The anomaly-induced effective action can reproduce the Hartle-Hawking stress-energy divergence at the Cauchy horizon of Reissner-Nordström, but lacks enough freedom to describe the Unruh state.

  7. Regular black holes with Minkowskian cores: causal structure and observational degeneracy

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Regular black holes with Minkowskian cores constructed by gravitational decoupling produce shadows and accretion-disk images nearly indistinguishable from Kerr/Schwarzschild despite radically different interiors.

  8. Thermodynamic Phase Transitions and Quantum Entropy Corrections in the Simpson-Visser Regular Black Hole

    gr-qc 2025-12 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    For the Simpson-Visser regular black hole, the heat capacity diverges at a = √2 m, but the claimed quantum entropy corrections are internally inconsistent: the 1/a² term has the wrong sign and the remnant-entropy form...

  9. Analytic models for gravitational collapse

    gr-qc 2024-11 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Two time-dependent mass profiles are proposed as exact models of the last stage of Schwarzschild collapse; one develops the curvature singularity immediately, the other only at infinite time, though the second model's...
