Formation of extremal regular black holes

Johanna Borissova

Static and slowly evolving regular black holes with a non-extremal inner horizon are generally expected to suffer from mass inflation. Here we consider the scenario of asymptotic g…

Null geodesic defocusing in dynamical black-hole-to-white-hole transitions

Johanna Borissova, Stefano Liberati, Matt Visser

We investigate the defocusing of null geodesics in dynamical, non-singular black-hole-to-white-hole transitions. Working at the level of spacetime kinematics, and without assuming…

black hole thermodynamics in general quasi-topological gravity

Johanna Borissova

We present a unified framework for the discussion of black hole thermodynamics of -dimensional static black holes with spherical or compact hyperbolic horizon topology satisfyin…

Modified Friedmann equations and non-singular cosmologies in non-polynomial quasi-topological gravities

Johanna Borissova, João Magueijo

Quasi-topological theories of gravity are known to resolve black-hole singularities. We investigate whether the same mechanism can remove cosmological singularities. Focusing on no…

All generalised dilaton theories from gravities

Johanna Borissova

We demonstrate that generic two-dimensional Horndeski theories can arise from the reduction of pure gravities in dimensions, and therefore generic onshell configurations…

Regular black holes from pure gravity in four dimensions

Johanna Borissova, Raúl Carballo-Rubio

We derive static spherically symmetric regular black holes as vacuum solutions to purely gravitational theories in four dimensions. To that end, we construct four-dimensional non-p…
