A black hole mass threshold from non-singular quantum gravitational collapse
read the original abstract
Quantum gravity is expected to remove the classical singularity that arises as the end-state of gravitational collapse. To investigate this, we work with a toy model of a collapsing homogeneous scalar field. We show that non-perturbative semi-classical effects of Loop Quantum Gravity cause a bounce and remove the black hole singularity. Furthermore, we find a critical threshold scale, below which no horizon forms -- quantum gravity may exclude very small astrophysical black holes.

Inflation driven by repulsive-like primordial black holes
Repulsive-like primordial black holes in the Swiss-cheese framework produce quasi-de Sitter expansion, enabling inflation with evaporation reheating and acting as early dark energy for certain masses and densities.

Dust collapse and bounce in spherically symmetric quantum-inspired gravity models
Algebraic equations from Hamiltonian constraints on vacuum spherically symmetric metrics describe non-homogeneous dust collapse and bounce, applied to quantum-inspired models to recover or find new bounce results.
