Black-hole solution without curvature singularity

Abstract

An exact solution of the vacuum Einstein field equations over a nonsimply-connected manifold is presented. This solution is spherically symmetric and has no curvature singularity. It can be considered to be a regularization of the Schwarzschild solution over a simply-connected manifold, which has a curvature singularity at the center. Spherically symmetric collapse of matter in R^4 may result in this nonsingular black-hole solution, if quantum-gravity effects allow for topology change near the center.
