We prove that a class of solutions to Einstein's equations---originally discovered by G. C. McVittie in 1933---includes regular black holes embedded in Friedman-Robertson-Walker cosmologies. If the cosmology is dominated at late times by a positive cosmological constant, the metric is regular everywhere on and outside the black hole horizon and away from the big bang singularity, and the solutions asymptote in the future and near the horizon to the Schwarzschild-de Sitter geometry. For solutions without a positive cosmological constant the would-be horizon is a weak null singularity.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Derivation from Schwarzschild-de Sitter null geodesics recovers the standard time-delay split as the leading small-angle term, with the first correction intrinsic to the Schwarzschild metric and adding no new cosmolog...

  2. Magnetized dynamical black holes

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A novel exact solution describes a dynamical black hole dressed with a time-dependent scalar field and immersed in an axisymmetric time-dependent electromagnetic field, where time dependence may cloak curvature singularities.

  3. Dynamical black holes in the inflationary epoch

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Only black holes with initial masses in a narrow range formed during inflation survive to the present day, reaching a maximum mass of approximately 1.043 times 10 to the minus 3 solar masses.

  4. Black Hole Persistence in Scalar Tensor Theories

    gr-qc 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    A perturbative scalar-tensor construction yields an evolving horizon of size proportional to the perturbation parameter that persists through a radiation-dominated bounce but evolves asymmetrically.
