We find a plethora of new analytic black holes and globally regular horizonless spacetimes in three dimensions. The solutions involve a single real scalar field $\phi$ which always admits a magnetic-like expression proportional to the angular coordinate. The new metrics, which satisfy $g_{tt}g_{rr}=-1$ and represent continuous generalizations of the BTZ one, solve the equations of Einstein gravity corrected by a new family of densities (controlled by unconstrained couplings) constructed from positive powers of $(\partial \phi)^2$ and certain linear combinations of $R^{ab} \partial_a \phi \partial_b \phi$ and $(\partial \phi)^2 R$. Some of the solutions obtained describe black holes with one or several horizons. A set of them possesses curvature singularities, while others have conical or BTZ-like ones. Interestingly, in some cases the black holes have no singularity at all, being completely regular. Some of the latter are achieved without any kind of fine tuning or constraint between the action parameters and/or the physical charges of the solution. An additional class of solutions describes globally regular and horizonless geometries.

  1. Cosmological higher-curvature gravities

    gr-qc 2023-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Higher-curvature gravities are constructed in which both FLRW backgrounds and linearized scalar perturbations obey at most second-order differential equations.

  2. $O(d,d)$ symmetric gravity and finite coupling holography

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In O(d,d) symmetric gravity with curvature corrections, black brane singularities persist with altered Kasner exponents, while dilaton effects enable dynamic generation of negative cosmological constants at weak coupling.

  3. $O(d,d)$ symmetric gravity and finite coupling holography

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In O(d,d) symmetric gravity with curvature corrections, black brane singularities are not resolved but approach with altered Kasner exponents, while a dilaton generates negative cosmological constants at small coupling.
