Phenomenological aspects of black holes beyond general relativity

R Carballo-Rubio, F Di Filippo, S Liberati, M Visser - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
While singularities are inevitable in the classical theory of general relativity, it is commonly
believed that they will not be present when quantum gravity effects are taken into account in …

A status report on the phenomenology of black holes in loop quantum gravity: Evaporation, tunneling to white holes, dark matter and gravitational waves

A Barrau, K Martineau, F Moulin - Universe, 2018 - mdpi.com
The understanding of black holes in loop quantum gravity is becoming increasingly
accurate. This review focuses on the possible experimental or observational consequences …

White holes as remnants: a surprising scenario for the end of a black hole

E Bianchi, M Christodoulou, F d'Ambrosio… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Quantum tunneling of a black hole into a white hole provides a model for the full life cycle of
a black hole. The white hole acts as a long-lived remnant, providing a possible resolution to …

Towards consistent black-to-white hole bounces from matter collapse

JB Achour, S Brahma, S Mukohyama… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
This article presents a new model-independent constraint for bouncing black hole
geometries. This constraint, applicable for a physical black hole formed by a collapsing …

Planck star tunneling time: An astrophysically relevant observable from background-free quantum gravity

M Christodoulou, C Rovelli, S Speziale, I Vilensky - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
A gravitationally collapsed object can bounce out from its horizon via a tunnelling process
that violates the classical equations in a finite region. Since tunnelling is a nonperturbative …

Bouncing compact objects. Part I. Quantum extension of the Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse

JB Achour, S Brahma, JP Uzan - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
This article proposes a generalization of the Oppenheimer-Snyder model which describes a
bouncing compact object. The corrections responsible for the bounce are parameterized in a …

Small black/white hole stability and dark matter

C Rovelli, F Vidotto - Universe, 2018 - mdpi.com
We show that the expected lifetime of white holes formed as remnants of evaporated black
holes is consistent with their production at reheating. We give a simple quantum description …
