Regular black holes and self-gravitating solitons replacing naked singularities

Abstract

Abstract We present a systematic review of the basic properties of regular black holes (RBH) and self-gravitating solitons replacing naked singularities including electrically charged RBHs and electromagnetic spinning solitons, predicted by analysis of regular solutions to dynamical equations with metrics of the Kerr-Schild class governing their behavior. We briefly outline observational cases which display and verify their fundamental generic features which are the de Sitter vacuum interiors and relation of their masses to spacetime symmetry breaking.
