QUANTUM AND CLASSICAL ASPECTS OF REGULAR BLACK HOLES

Alfio Bonanno

INAF / INFN Catania
Morning

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are fascinating objects characterized by spacetime singularities concealed within an event horizon. However, these singularities present a compelling case for exploring beyond general relativity to seek out regular black holes, where spacetime curvature remains bounded throughout.

One prominent approach to achieve this involves replacing the singularity with a regular patch of de Sitter space - an old concept that has garnered renewed attention in recent times.

Throughout these lectures, we will delve into various pertinent questions and topics. These include static models of Regular Black Holes, which span from Quantum Field Theory in curved spacetimes to Quantum Gravity-inspired models. We will also explore stability properties, evaporation models, non-static RBH models, modifications of the Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse, quasinormal modes, and the potential implications for quantum gravity phenomenology.
