Effective Polymer Dynamics of D-Dimensional Black Hole Interiors

Understand

We consider two different effective polymerization schemes applied to D-dimensional, spherically symmetric black hole interiors.

• It is shown that polymerization of the generalized area variable alone leads to a complete, regular, single-horizon spacetime in which the classical singularity is replaced by a bounce.
• The bounce radius is independent of rescalings of the homogeneous internal coordinate, but does depend on the arbitrary fiducial cell size.
• The model is therefore necessarily incomplete.
