While the outcome of gravitational collapse in classical general relativity is unquestionably a black hole, up to now no full and complete semiclassical description of black hole formation has been thoroughly investigated. Here we revisit the standard scenario for this process. By analyzing how semiclassical collapse proceeds we show that the very formation of a trapping horizon can be seriously questioned for a large set of, possibly realistic, scenarios. We emphasise that in principle the theoretical framework of semiclassical gravity certainly allows the formation of trapping horizons. What we are questioning here is the more subtle point of whether or not the standard black hole picture is appropriate for describing the end point of realistic collapse. Indeed if semiclassical physics were in some cases to prevent formation of the trapping horizon, then this suggests the possibility of new collapsed objects which can be much less problematic, making it unnecessary to confront the information paradox or the run-away end point problem.

Opening the Pandora's box at the core of black holes
Under minimal geometric assumptions, nonsingular black holes fall into two classes, unstable evanescent horizons or topology-changing hidden wormholes, so singularity regularization cannot hide its effects at macrosco...

Semiclassical Black Hole-White Hole transitions: an analytical treatment
The |in>-vacuum stress-energy in 2D collapse models amplifies at the inner horizon and can flip the ingoing null expansion, turning a trapped region into an anti-trapped one.

UV Effects and Short-Lived Hawking Radiation: Alternative Resolution of Information Paradox
Hawking radiation terminates around the scrambling time due to trans-Planckian stringy effects in GUP and string-field-theory-inspired toy models, yielding negligible evaporation and a mostly classical black hole.

Towards a Non-singular Paradigm of Black Hole Physics
This is a review built around a week-long workshop, synthesizing the state and open problems of regular black holes and black hole mimickers as alternatives to singular black holes.
