Some Remarks on Non-Singular Spherically Symmetric Space-Times
Lorenzo Sebastiani, Sergio Zerbini
Abstract
A short review of spherically symmetric static regular black holes and spherically symmetric non-singular cosmological space-time is presented. Several models, including new ones, of regular black holes are considered. First, a large class of regular black holes having an inner de Sitter core with the related issue of a Cauchy horizon is investigated. Then, Black Bounce space-times, where the Cauchy horizon and therefore the related instabilities are absent, are discussed as valid alternatives to regular black holes with inner de Sitter cores. Friedman–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker space-times admitting regular bounce solutions are also discussed. In the general analysis concerning the presence or absence of singularities in the equations of motion, the role of a theorem credited to Osgood is stressed.
