Regular black holes without curvature singularity can arise in Einstein gravity with appropriate matter energy-momentum tensor. We show that these regular solutions represent only a special case of a much broader family of black holes with a free mass parameter. The regularity is achieved only at a specific mass value, and any deviation from the fine-tuned parameter inevitably results in curvature singularity. As a concrete example, we consider nonlinear electrodynamics (NLED) as matter sources. A new NLED theory is proposed that is a generalization of the Bardeen class and the Hayward class. New regular black holes and their singular counterparts are obtained. Significant distinctions between regular black holes and their singular counterparts are analyzed. These findings provide new insights into regular black holes.

  1. Black Hole Entropy Bounded by the Specific Heat

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A conjectured inequality bounding black hole entropy by its specific heat is proven for a special static class and verified for many rotating and charged black holes.

  2. Charging up regular black holes

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Charged Bardeen and Hayward metrics become singular under deformed Einstein–Maxwell equations; more stringent regularity conditions are derived and improved regular charged metrics are constructed.

  3. 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.

  4. A Minkowski-core black hole with cosmological constant and electric charge

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A charged anti-de Sitter regular black hole with a Minkowski core is derived from a covariant effective Hamiltonian, and its thermodynamics show a phase transition that disappears above a critical value of the regular...

  5. Can we distinguish whether black holes have singularities or not through echoes and light rings?

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the Bardeen and Hayward black hole families, the singular type II branch can have two light rings and echo-like quasinormal signals, while regular black holes have one light ring.
