Polymer Schwarzschild black hole: An effective metric
Jibril Ben Achour, Frédéric Lamy, Hongguang Liu +1
We consider the modified Einstein equations obtained in the framework of effective spherically symmetric polymer models inspired by Loop Quantum Gravity. When one takes into accoun…

Imaging a non-singular rotating black hole at the center of the Galaxy
Frédéric Lamy, Eric Gourgoulhon, Thibaut Paumard +1
We show that the rotating generalization of Hayward's non-singular black hole previously studied in the literature is geodesically incomplete, and that its straightforward extensio…
