There is rich literature on regular black holes from loop quantum gravity (LQG), where quantum geometry effects resolve the singularity, leading to a quantum extension of the classical space-time. As we will see, the mechanism that resolves the singularity can also trigger conceptually undesirable features that can be subtle and are often uncovered only after a detailed examination. Therefore, the quantization scheme has to be chosen rather astutely. We illustrate the new physics that emerges first in the context of the eternal black hole represented by the Kruskal space-time in classical general relativity, then in dynamical situations involving gravitational collapse, and finally, during the Hawking evaporation process. The emphasis is on novel conceptual features associated with the causal structure, trapping and anti-trapping horizons and boundedness of invariants associated with curvature and matter. This Chapter is not intended to be an exhaustive account of all LQG results on non-singular black holes. Rather, we have selected a few main-stream thrusts to anchor the discussion, and provided references where further details as well as discussions of related developments can be found. In the spirit of this Volume, the goal is to present a bird's eye view that is accessible to a broad audience.

    A finite-radius Hayward metric turned into an anisotropic gravastar predicts chaotic photon rings and gravitational-wave echo trains above a compactness threshold x_m, but the GW170817 72 Hz match forces a very large ...

  4. Love Numbers of Covariant Loop Quantum Black Holes

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Tidal Love numbers of three covariant loop quantum black holes are shown to be generically nonzero, Planck-scale suppressed, and model-dependent in sign and logarithmic running.

  5. Quantum induced shock dynamics in gravitational collapse: insights from effective models and numerical frameworks

    gr-qc 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For near-Planckian masses, the quantum-induced shock in LQG collapse remains timelike and hidden behind the inner horizon; above a critical mass it develops spacelike segments.

  6. Quantum Schwarzschild-(A)dS Black Holes: Unitarity and Singularity Resolution

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Unitarity in unimodular time self-adjointness resolves the Schwarzschild-(A)dS singularity and yields a quantum-corrected metric interpolating between black and white hole states.

    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.

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In effective loop quantum gravity, an infinite family of mathematically equivalent collapse equations produce different weak solutions after shell crossing, so the predicted black hole lifetime (e.g., M^2, M^3, M^4) i...

  9. Loop Quantum Gravitational Signatures via Love Numbers

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The AOS loop-quantized Schwarzschild black hole is predicted to have nonvanishing, negative tidal Love numbers for scalar, vector, and axial gravitational fields, scaling as (M_Pl/M)^(2/3).

  10. 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.

  11. Physical and Theoretical Challenges to Integrable Singularities

    gr-qc 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Generic scalar perturbations near integrable singularities have non-integrable energy density, and extended objects cannot traverse them safely, challenging their viability as black hole alternatives.

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a GUP-inspired quantum black hole metric, the classical singularity at r=0 becomes a null surface at infinite affine distance, yielding a non-traversable wormhole and a zero-temperature remnant.

    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.
