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.

  1. Inflation driven by repulsive-like primordial black holes

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  2. Dust collapse and bounce in spherically symmetric quantum-inspired gravity models

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  3. Equatorial Periodic Orbits and Gravitational Wave Phenomenology around Spherically-symmetric vacuum solution in Freund-Nambu scalar-tensor gravity

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Scalar couplings in Freund-Nambu gravity shift ISCO inward and produce detectable temporal dephasing in EMRI gravitational wave bursts while preserving orbit topology.
