We present an effective theory to describe the quantization of spherically symmetric vacuum in loop quantum gravity. We include anomaly-free holonomy corrections through a canonical transformation of the Hamiltonian of general relativity, such that the modified constraint algebra closes. The system is then provided with a fully covariant and unambigous geometric description, independent of the gauge choice on the phase space. The resulting spacetime corresponds to a singularity-free (black-hole/white-hole) interior and two asymptotically flat exterior regions of equal mass. The interior region contains a minimal smooth spacelike surface that replaces the Schwarzschild singularity. We find the global causal structure and the maximal analytical extension. Both Minkowski and Schwarzschild spacetimes are directly recovered as particular limits of the model.

  1. Dust shell in effective loop quantum black hole model

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a polymerized loop-quantum-gravity black hole model, a collapsing dust shell bounces and, for sufficiently heavy shells, follows a spacelike trajectory through the horizon, implying a finite horizon lifetime and a ...

  2. Lessons from gauge fixing and polymerization of loop quantum black holes with a cosmological constant

    gr-qc 2025-02 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Constant-polymerization loop quantization of Schwarzschild-de Sitter in Kantowski-Sachs gauge generates a spurious low-curvature black hole horizon, while Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter does not.

  3. Emergent field theory

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Spacetime geometry and Yang-Mills field strengths are generated from phase-space structure functions, yielding modified gravity and gauge theories with no new degrees of freedom.

  4. Gravitational wave signatures of magnetized Ernst black hole

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Magnetic fields in the Ernst black-hole spacetime alter zoom-whirl EMRI waveforms, spectra, and characteristic strain in ways the authors claim LISA-class detectors could probe.
