We consider the effect of a positive cosmological constant on spherical gravitational collapse to a black hole for a few simple, analytic cases. We construct the complete Oppenheimer-Snyder-deSitter (OSdS) spacetime, the generalization of the Oppenheimer-Snyder solution for collapse from rest of a homogeneous dust ball in an exterior vacuum. In OSdS collapse, the cosmological constant may affect the onset of collapse and decelerate the implosion initially, but it plays a diminishing role as the collapse proceeds. We also construct spacetimes in which a collapsing dust ball can bounce, or hover in unstable equilibrium, due to the repulsive force of the cosmological constant. We explore the causal structure of the different spacetimes and identify any cosmological and black hole event horizons which may be present.

  1. Asymmetric Quantum Oppenheimer-Snyder Collapse

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Asymmetric loop-quantum-cosmology collapse of a dust ball yields a geodesically complete, bouncing regular black hole spacetime with a C^0 shock at the dust surface and two joined vacuum geometries.

  2. Regular black hole solutions and the quark chemical potential at the QCD phase transition

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Within two QCD-inspired equations of state coupled to Eddington-Finkelstein collapse, finite chemical potential reshapes thermodynamics but does not produce self-regularizing black hole cores.
