This research aims to explore a new model to prevent singularities in black holes through a matter-to-vacuum phase transition.
Investigated gravitational collapse scenarios leading to a matter-to-vacuum phase transition at critical density.
Modeled the post-transition object as a static, spherically symmetric structure governed by relevant equations.
Assumed a Gaussian density distribution for the Vacuum Localized Structure phase.
The phase transition replaces singularities with a finite-curvature core, retaining mass-energy and preventing divergent gravitational compression.
All curvature invariants remain finite within the black hole, ensuring a regular spacetime versus conventional models.
