Anisotropic Generalized Polytropic Spheres: Regular 3D Black Holes (2312.16081v2)

Abstract: We model gravitating relativistic 3D spheres composed of an anisotropic fluid in which the radial and transverse components of the pressure correspond to the vacuum energy and a generalized polytropic equation-of-state, respectively. By using the generalized Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation, and solving the complete system of equations for these anisotropic generalized polytropic spheres, for a given range of model parameters, we find three novel classes of asymptotically AdS black hole solutions with regular core. We show the regularity of the solutions using curvature scalars and the formalism of geodesic completeness. Then, using the eigenvalues of the Riemann curvature tensor, we consider the effects of repulsive gravity in the three static 3D regular black holes, concluding that their regular behavior can be explained as due to the presence of repulsive gravity near the center of the objects. Finally, we study the stability of the regular black holes under the flow of the energy through the Cauchy horizon.
