Description

Although the Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems leave little room for the fate of collapsing matter, since the 1960s there has been great interest in the possibility of deriving black hole solutions with a regular center. In this talk, after a brief historical review, I will discuss the main features of regular black holes and their implications for fundamental physics. Finally, I will comment on the emerging new phenomenology in astrophysics and particle physics and what can be learned from such spacetimes for the future.
