Non-existence of quantum black hole horizons in the improved dynamics approach [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2212.14535


In this paper, we study the quantum geometric effects near the locations that black hole horizons used to appear in the classical theory within the framework of the improved dynamic approach, in which the two polymerization parameters of the Kantowski-Sachs spacetime are functions of the phase variables. Our detailed analysis shows that the effects are so strong that black hole horizons of the effective quantum theory do not exist any longer, and the corresponding Kantowski-Sachs model now describes the entire spacetime of the trapped region, instead of being only the internal region of a black hole, as it is usually expected in loop quantum gravity.
