Introduction Singularities are well-known predictions of General Relativity (GR). They are rec- ognized as regions that geodesics can reach in finite proper time but cannot be ex- tended beyond them. Such geodesics are called incomplete. This notion can be for- mulated in terms of the existence of conjugate points using the Raychaudhuri equa- tion [1]. The celebrated Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems prove that under normal assumptions, all spacetime solutions of GR will have incomplete geodesics, and will therefore be singular [1–3]. These objects, however, are in fact predic- tions beyond the domain of applicability of GR. So there is a consensus among the gravitational physics community that they should be regularized in a full theory of quantum gravity. Although there is no such theory available yet, nevertheless there are a few candidates with rigorous mathematical structure with which we can inves- tigate the question of singularity resolution. One such candidate is loop quantum gravity (LQG) [4], which is a connection-based canonical framework. arXiv:2110.05397v1 [gr-qc] 11 Oct 2021

Interior of the Schwarzschild black hole It is well known that the metric of the interior of the Schwarzschild black hole can be obtained by switching the the Schwarzschild coordinates t and r, due to the fact that spacelike and timelike curves switch their causal nature upon crossing the horizon. This yields the metric of the interior as 2 ds = −  −1    2GM 2GM 2 −1 − 1 dr2 + t2 dθ2 + sin2 θdφ2 . dt + t t (1) This metric is in fact a special case of a Kantowski-Sachs cosmological spacetime [24] ds2KS = −N (T )2 dT 2 + gxx (T )dx2 + gθθ (T )dθ2 + gφφ (T )dφ2 (2) One can obtain the Hamiltonian of the interior system in connection variables, one first considers the full Hamiltonian of gravity written in terms of (the curvature) of the su(2) Ashtekar-Barbero connection Aia and its conjugate momentum, the densitized triad Ẽai . Using the Kantowski-Sachs symmetry, these variables can be page 2 October 12, 2021 1:3 ws-procs961x669 WSPC Proceedings - 9.61in x 6.69in MG16-RE-LQG 3 written as [5] c τ3 dx + bτ2 dθ − bτ1 sin θdφ + τ3 cos θdφ, L0 pb pb Ẽia τi ∂a =pc τ3 sin θ∂x + τ2 sin θ∂θ − τ1 ∂ φ , L0 L0 Aia τi dxa = (3) (4) where b, c, pb , and pc are functions that only depend on time and τi = −iσi /2 are a su(2) basis satisfying [τi , τj ] = ǫij k τk , with σi being the Pauli matrices. Here L0 is a fiducial length of a fiducial volume, chosen to restrict the integration limits of the symplectic form so that the integral does not diverge. Substituting these into the full Hamiltonian of gravity written in Ashtekar connection variables, one obtains the symmetry reduced Hamiltonian constraint adapted to this model as [5–7, 10, 16]    pb N √ 2 2 H=− (5) b + γ √ + 2bc pc . 2Gγ 2 pc while the diffeomorphism constraint vanishes identically due to the homogenous nature of the model. Here, γ is the Barbero-Immirzi parameter [4], and pc ≥ 0. The corresponding Poisson brackets of the model become {c, pc } = 2Gγ, {b, pb } = Gγ. (6) The general form of the Kantowski-Sachs metric written in terms of the above variables becomes ds2 = −N (T )2 dT 2 + p2b (T ) dx2 + pc (T )(dθ2 + sin2 θdφ2 ). L20 pc (T ) (7) Comparing this with the standard Schwarzschild interior metric one obtains pb =0, pc =4G2 M 2 , on the horizon t = 2GM, (8) pb →0, pc →0, at the singularity t → 0. (9) 3. The Raychaudhuri equation The celebrated Raychaudhuri equation [1] dθ 1 = − θ2 − σab σ ab + ωab ω ab − Rab U a U b (10) dτ 3 describes the behavior of geodesics in spacetime purely geometrically and independent of the theory of gravity under consideration. Here, θ is the expansion term describing how geodesics focus or defocus; σab σ ab is the shear which describes how, e.g., a circular configuration of geodesics changes shape into, say, an ellipse; ωab ω ab is the vorticity term; Rab is the Ricci tensor; and U a is the tangent vector to the geodesics. Note that, due the sign of the expansion, shear, and the Ricci term, they all contribute to focusing, while the vorticity terms leads to defocusing. In our case, since we consider the model in vacuum, Rab = 0. Also, in general in Kantowski-Scahs models, the vorticity term is only nonvanishing if one considers page 3 October 12, 2021 1:3 ws-procs961x669 WSPC Proceedings - 9.61in x 6.69in MG16-RE-LQG 4 metric perturbations [24]. Hence, ωab ω ab = 0 in our model, too. This reduces the Raychaudhuri equation for our analysis to 1 dθ = − θ2 − σab σ ab . (11) dτ 3 To obtain the right hand side of the equation above, we need to consider a congruence of geodesics and derive their expansion and shear. By choosing such a  congruence with 4-velocities U a = N1 , 0, 0, 0 we obtain ṗb ṗc + , N pb 2N pc 2  ṗc ṗb 2 − . + σ2 = 3 N pb N pc θ= (12) (13) 4. Classical vs effective Raychaudhuri equation 4.1. Classical Raychaudhuri equation Having obtained the adapted form of the Raychaudhuri equation for our model, we set to find it explicitly. Looking at (11)-(13) we see that we need the solutions to the equations of motion to be able to compute them. In order to facilitate such a derivation, we choose a gauge where the lapse function is p γ pc (T ) N (T ) = , (14) b (T ) for which the Hamiltonian constraint becomes i  pb 1 h 2 H=− b + γ2 + 2cpc . 2Gγ b (15) The advantage of this lapse function is that the equations of motion of c, pc decouple from those of b, pb . These equations of motion should be solved together with enforcing the vanishing of the Hamiltonian constraint (15) on-shell (i.e., on the constraint surface). Replacing these solutions into (11) one obtains   −2t + 3GM 3b γ 1 , (16) = ± 3p − θ =± √ 2 pc γ b t 2 (2GM − t)   dθ 9b2 −2t2 + 8GM t − 9G2 M 2 γ2 1 1+ 2 + 2 = .

This can be seen from Fig. 1 dτ which reaffirm the existence of a classical singularity at the center of the black hole. 4.2. Effective dynamics and Raychaudhuri equation The effective behavior of the interior of the Schwarzschild black hole can be deduced from its effective Hamiltonian (constraint). There are various equivalent ways to page 4 October 12, 2021 1:3 ws-procs961x669 WSPC Proceedings - 9.61in x 6.69in MG16-RE-LQG 5 10 M1G 0 5 θ M1G -40 dτ dθ -20 0 -60 -5 -80 -100 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 -10 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 t (G M) t (G M) dθ Fig. 1.

Both θ and dτ horizon is due to the choice of Schwarzschild coordinate system. obtain such an effective Hamiltonian from the classical one [5–7, 10, 16]. It turns out that the easiest way is by replacing sin (µb b) , µb sin (µc c) , c→ µc b→ (18) (19) in the classical Hamiltonian. The free parameters µb , µc are the minimum scales associated with the radial and angular directions [5, 7, 10, 25]. If these µ parameters are taken to be constant, the corresponding approach is called the µ0 scheme. If, however, these parameters depend on the conjugate momenta, the approach is called improved dynamics which itself is divided into various subcategories. In case of the Schwarzschild interior and due to lack of matter content, it is not clear which scheme yields the correct semiclassical limit. Hence, for completeness, in this paper we will study the effective theory in the constant µ scheme, which here we call the µ̊ scheme, as well as in two of the most common improved schemes, which we denote by µ̄ and µ̄′ schemes. Replacing (18) and (19) into the classical Hamiltonian (5), one obtains an effective Hamiltonian constraint,   2  sin (µb b) sin (µc c) √ sin (µb b) pb N (N ) 2 pc . +γ (20) Heff = − √ +2 2Gγ 2 µ2b pc µb µc In order to be able to compare the effective results with the classical case, we need to use the same lapse as we did in the classical part. Under (18), this lapse (14) becomes √ γµb pc . (21) N= sin (µb b) Using this in (20) we obtain     1 sin (µc c) sin (µb b) µb Heff = − pb + 2pc + γ2 . 2γG µb sin (µb b) µc (22) page 5 October 12, 2021 1:3 ws-procs961x669 WSPC Proceedings - 9.61in x 6.69in MG16-RE-LQG 6 Note that both (20) and (22) reduce to their classical counterparts (5) and (15) respectively, as is expected. To obtain the effective Raychadhuri equation, we consider three cases: (1) µ̊ scheme where µb = µ̊b and µc = µ̊c are constants, (2) µ̄ scheme where we set s ∆ , µb = µ̄b = pb s ∆ , µc = µ̄c = pc (23) (24) (3) µ̄′ scheme where we choose µb = µ̄′b = µc = µ̄′c = s √ ∆ , pc (25) pc ∆ . pb (26) After replacing these (separately for each case) into the effective Hamiltonian constraint (22) and finding their corresponding equations of motion [26], one replaces the solutions in the Raychadhuri equation (11) to obtain the form of dθ dτ . It turns out that for all the three cases above we obtain   1 sin2 (µb b) cos2 (µb b) dθ 2 = 2 − 3 cos (µ c) cos (µ b) cos (µ c) − c b c dτ γ pc µ2b 4   γ2 µ2b cos (µb b) cos (µb b) − cos (µc c) − cos (µb b) + , (27) pc 2 4 sin2 (µb b) where it is understood that µ’s should be substituted for from cases 1–3 suitably for each case. 4.2.1. µ̊ scheme Let us first consider this case perturbatively in an analytic manner. Replacing µb = µ̊b and µc = µ̊c as constants in (27) and then expanding for small values of µ’s up to the second order we obtain   4     2 9b2 5b2 b 1 γ2 γ2 dθ 2 1 2 c 1 + 2 + 2 + µ̊b 1 + 2 .

However, Eq. (28) now involves two additional effective terms proportional to µ̊2b and µ̊2c , both of which are positive. Furthermore, from the solutions to equations of motion [26], one can infer that these two terms take over close to where the classical singularity used to be and page 6 October 12, 2021 1:3 ws-procs961x669 WSPC Proceedings - 9.61in x 6.69in MG16-RE-LQG 7 dθ from diverging. This can, in fact, be confirmed by looking at the stop θ and dτ dθ plotted in Fig. 2. There, it is seen that the full nonperturbative behavior of dτ quantum gravity effects counter the attractive nature of classical terms and turn dθ the curve around such that dτ goes to zero for t → 0. 10 0 -10 dτ dθ eff - M  1 cl - M  1 -20 eff - M  4 cl - M  4 -30 -40 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 t (G M) dθ as a function of the Schwarzschild time t, for two different masses in classical Fig. 2.

The figure is plotted using γ = 0.5, G = 1, L0 = 1, and µ̊b = 0.08 = µ̊c . 4.2.2. µ̄ scheme dθ for Similar to the µ̊ scheme we start by analyzing the perturbative expansion of dτ this case by replacing (23) and (24) in (27) and expanding it for small µ̄’s up to the lowest correction terms which in this case is ∆ (which can be considered as the second order in µ̄ scales).

This stops dτ The full nonperturbative form of the modified Raychaudhuri equation in terms of t can also be plotted plotted by substituting the numerical solutions of the equations of motion for the µ̄ in (27). The result is plotted in Fig. 3. We see that, approaching from the horizon to where the classical singularity used to be, an initial bump or bounce in encountered, followed by a more pronounced bounce closer to where the singularity used to be. Once again, the quantum corrections become dominant close dθ to the singularity and turn back the dτ such that at t → 0 no focusing happens at all. Furthermore, from the right plot in Fig. 3, we see that the first bounce in the Raychaudhuri equation happens much earlier than the bounce in pc for this batch of geodesics. page 7 October 12, 2021 1:3 ws-procs961x669 WSPC Proceedings - 9.61in x 6.69in MG16-RE-LQG 8 10 0 0 -10 -20 dτ dθ -10 -20 dθ dτ -30 -30 -40 peff c (t) -40 -50 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 0.0 t (G M) 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 t (G M) Fig. 3.

This case is, however, rather different from the previous two cases since the behavior of some of the canonical variables as a function of the Schwarzschild time t deviates significantly from those cases. In particular, both b and pc show a kind of damped oscillatory behavior close to the classical singularity [26], which contributes to a more volatile behavior of the Raychaudhuri equation. The full nonperturbative Raychaudhuri equation and its close-ups in this case are plotted in Fig. 4. It is seen that in this scheme, the Raychaudhuri equation exhibits a more oscillatory behavior and has various bumps particularly when we get closer to where the singularity used to be. Very close to the classical singularity, its form resembles those of b and pc , behaving like a damped oscillation [26]. Two particular features are worth noting in this scheme. First, as we also saw in previous schemes, quantum corrections kick in close to the singularity and dominate the evolution such that the infinite focusing is remedied, hence signaling the resolution of the singularity. Second, this scheme exhibits a nonvanishing value dθ at, or very close to, the singularity. In Fig. 4 with the particular choice of for dτ dθ for t → 0 is approximately numerical values of γ, M, G, L0 and ∆, the value of dτ −5.5. Hence, although a nonvanishing focusing is not achieved in this case at where the singularity used to be, nevertheless, there exists a relatively small focusing and dθ remains finite. certainly dτ page 8 October 12, 2021 1:3 ws-procs961x669 WSPC Proceedings - 9.61in x 6.69in MG16-RE-LQG 9 0 -20 -20 dτ dθ dτ dθ 0 -40 -40 -60 -60 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 0.00 0.05 t (G M) 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 t (G M) 5 0 0 -5 -10 dτ dθ dτ dθ -5 -15 -10 -20 -15 -25 -30 0.000 0.005 0.010 0.015 0.020 0.025 0.030 0.0000 0.0005 0.0010 0.0015 0.0020 0.0025 0.0030 t (G M) t (G M) 2 -3 0 -4 dτ dθ -5 dτ dθ -2 -4 -6 -6 -7 -8 -10 0.00000 0.00002 0.00004 0.00006 0.00008 t (G M) 0.00010 -8 0 2. × 10-7 4. × 10-7 6. × 10-7 8. × 10-7 1. × 10-6 t (G M) Fig. 4.

Discussion and outlook In this work, we probed the structure of the interior of the Schwarzschild black hole, particularly the region close to the classical singularity, using the effective Raychaudhuri equation. The effective terms in this equation result from considering the effective modifications to the Hamiltonian of the interior due to polymer quantization, which is equivalent to loop quantization of this model. We found out dθ diverges for r → 0, the effective terms that while the classical rate of expansion dτ dθ counter such a divergence close to the singularity and make dτ finite at r → 0. We considered three main schemes of polymer quantization and the results hold in all three. This is a strong indication that LQG points to the resolution of the singularity in the effective regime. It is also worth noting that very similar behavior has been derived recently for several cases of Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) models [27, 28]. In particular, it seems that these cases bare a significant resemblance to µ̊ and µ̄. This can be taken as a cross-model affirmation that quantum gravity in general does page 9 October 12, 2021 1:3 ws-procs961x669 WSPC Proceedings - 9.61in x 6.69in MG16-RE-LQG 10 resolve the singularity of the Schwarzschild black hole.
