We examine the Schwarzschild interior of a black hole, incorporating quantum gravitational modifications due to loop quantum gravity. We consider an improved loop quantization using techniques that have proven successful in loop quantum cosmology. The central Schwarzschild singularity is resolved and the implications for the fate of an in-falling test particle in the interior region is discussed. The singularity is replaced by a Nariai type universe. We discuss the resulting conformal diagram, providing a clear geometrical interpretation of the quantum effects.

Quantum extension of the Kruskal spacetime (2018, unknown): “If one nonetheless continues the evolution as a mathematical exercise, one finds that the space-time geometry asymptotically approaches that of the Nariai type solution [3, 8].”
Loop quantization of the Schwarzschild interior revisited (2015, methodology): “It was cured by the introduction of the ‘improved’ (µ̄) dynamics of LQC which resulted in change of the uniform discreteness variable from triad to volume [3].”
