abstract

Simpson and Visser recently proposed a phenomenological way to avoid some kinds of space-time singularities by replacing a parameter whose zero value corresponds to a singularity (say, $r$) with the manifestly nonzero expression $r(u) = \sqrt{u^2 + b^2}$, where $u$ is a new coordinate, and $b =$ \const $>0$. This trick, generically leading to a regular minimum of $r$ beyond a black hole horizon (called a "black bounce"), may hopefully mimic some expected results of quantum gravity, and was previously applied to regularize the Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstr\"om, Kerr and some other metrics. In this paper it is applied to regularize the Fisher solution with a massless canonical scalar field in general relativity (resulting in a traversable wormhole) and a family of static, spherically symmetric dilatonic black holes (resulting in regular black holes and wormholes). These new regular metrics represent exact solutions of general relativity with a sum of stress-energy tensors of a scalar field with a nonzero self-interaction potential and a magnetic field in the framework of nonlinear electrodynamics with a Lagrangian function $L(F)$, $F = F_{\mu\nu} F^{\mu\nu}$. A novel feature in the present study is that the scalar fields involved have "trapped ghost" properties, that is, are phantom in a strong-field region and canonical outside it, with a smooth transition between the regions. It is also shown that any static, spherically symmetric metric can be obtained as an exact solution to the Einstein equations with the stress-energy tensor of the above field combination.

  1. Black bounces to traversable wormholes from pure gravity in four and higher dimensions

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Any static spherically symmetric wormhole or black bounce with a single integration constant can be made the unique vacuum solution of some specially constructed higher-dimensional pure-metric gravity theory.

  2. On regular black string spacetimes in nonlinear electrodynamics

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    No regular purely electric black strings exist in NED recovering the Maxwell limit, but regular cylindrical Bardeen and Hayward analogues are constructed with finite curvature.

  3. Nonlinear electrodynamics and stability of spherically symmetric space-times in scalar-tensor gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    For NED with Maxwell weak-field limit, monopole stability of STT solutions with F=0 is identical to Maxwell-STT, and the zero-charge limit of V_eff erases all NED traces.

  4. Spherically symmetric and static black bounces with multiple horizons, throats, and anti-throats in four dimensions

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new family of static, spherically symmetric black bounce spacetimes with multiple horizons, throats, and anti-throats is constructed and sourced by a partially phantom scalar field with nonlinear electrodynamics.

  5. Black bounce sourced by non-minimally coupled linear electrodynamics and a canonical scalar field through a thin shell at the throat

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A new family of black bounce and wormhole solutions in general relativity is constructed from a canonical scalar field non-minimally coupled to linear electrodynamics, with the required energy-condition violation conf...

  6. Embedding Wormholes and Dyonic Black Strings in Warped Braneworlds via Local Sum Rules

    gr-qc 2026-01 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Embedding of Ellis-Bronnikov wormhole and NED-sourced magnetic/dyonic black strings into RS braneworlds using Local Sum Rules; the dyonic q→0 limit is inconsistent as written.

  7. Correspondence between quasinormal modes and grey-body factors of spherically symmetric traversable wormholes

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For three families of traversable wormholes, the authors verify that the WKB correspondence between quasinormal modes and grey-body factors, known for black holes, holds to second order beyond the eikonal limit.

  8. Field Sources for Wormholes With Multiple Throats/Anti-throats

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For a wormhole metric with multiple throats and anti-throats, the authors build explicit phantom-scalar-plus-nonlinear-electrodynamics sources and show the energy conditions can hold locally near the center.
