junction condition, without employing equations of mo-
tion. As we are going to show, there are close ties be-
tween the models of quantum BH and quantum cosmol-
ogy, providing a possibility to detect the quantum effects
in early universe from BHs. Actually, the resulting met-
ric is a suitably deformed Schwarzschild one, where the
deforming term leads to a BH mass gap. Moreover, the
deformed Schwarzschild metric induces a non-vanishing
effective energy-momentum tensor. This may relate the
quantum effects of BHs with the dark matter.
The methodology of LQC could also be applied to
BH models [8–24]. However, the answers do not form a
unique picture. Particularly, according to certain conjec-
ture, the bouncing interior of the BH destroys the Killing
horizon in the future, and the process takes the form of
BH evaporation [9]. According to another proposal, the
reflecting interior turns a BH into a white hole (WH), and
the transitional region of spacetime is strictly quantum,
giving the process the character of quantum tunneling
[12, 13]. In both of these cases, the global structure of
the null infinity is similar, there is one scri. Subsequent
models describe spacetime containing a quantum BH dif-
ferently (see, e.g.,[15]). According to them, the bouncing
interior does not affect the global structure of the exte-
rior. Hence, the spacetime looks similar to the Kruskal
diagram of Schwarzschild spacetime, with the only differ-
ence that the singularity becomes an edge of spacetime
on which the metric is still regular. Now the extension
consists in gluing the diagrams, even of an unbounded
number, with the edges.
In the case of the second question, we consider the
opposite scenario: a spherically symmetric, static empty
region of spacetime (a bubble) surrounded by the quan-
tum universe according to the APS model. Precisely, this
scenario consists in removing the ball 0≤˜r≤˜r0from
the APS spacetime, that is considering the APS met-
ric tensor ds2
APS for ˜r≥˜r0. The hole left by the ball
is filled with a piece of the spacetime (3). Hence this
is a quantum Swiss Cheese (qSC) model whose physical
meaning is quite different from the qOS model. Before
the quantum universe bounces, the spherically symmet-
ric bubble is being squised. The question is whether its
radius shrinks below the radius of the horizon, and if
so, what happens next. Indeed, according to the result
shown below, unless the size of the region is of the order
of the Planck length, the horizon does form. The radius
depends on the amount of mass of the dust if it were fill-
ing the bubble. Briefly speaking, the bouncing universe
turns the bubbles into BHs.
In both cases the key role is played by the the dust
space surface (either outer or inner) ˜r= ˜r0in the APS
spacetime, that in the spacetime (3) will be described in
a partially parametric form (t(τ), r(τ), θ, φ)where −∞ <
τ < ∞is the proper time, and the ranges of coordinates
read 0≤θ≤π, 0≤φ < 2π. We glue the spacetimes
by the identification (τ, ˜r0, θ, φ)∼(t(τ), r(τ), θ, φ)such
that the induced metric and the extrinsic curvature are
equal on the gluing surfaces that become a single surface
of the dusty part of the spacetime. That will allow us to
unambiguously determine the functions Fand Gas well
as a location of the dust surface in the dust-free spacetime
— asymptotically for r→ ∞ it is tangent to ∂t. Then,
the metric (3) can be obtained as

where we introduced the parameter α= 16√3πγ3`2
pwith
`p=√G~denoting the Planck length. Indeed, the cal-
culation to determine the functions Fand Gis quite
straightforward (see Appendix A for details). It is worth
noting that the form (4) of the metric is determined for
r≥rb=αGM

,(5)
which results from the fact that the dust surface radius
a(τ)˜r0runs over [rb,∞). Hence the functions F(r)and
G(r)may be defined arbitrarily for r < rb. The parame-
ter Mcoincides with the ADM mass of the metric tensor
(4). As a quantum deformation of the Schwarzschild met-
ric, the spacetime metric tensor (4) coincides with that
derived in [25–27].
The global structure of the spacetime determined by
(4) depends on the number of roots of 1−F(r). It is
convenient to introduce the parameter 0< β < 1by
G2M2=4β4
(1 −β2)3α. (6)
For 0< β < 1/2, that is when
M < Mmin := 4
3√3G√α, (7)
1−F(r)has no real root, implying that the metric (4)
does not admit any horizon. The global causal structure
of the maximally extended spacetime is the same as that
of the Minkowski spacetime. Hence the value
Mmin =16γ√πγ

√3
`p
G(8)
is a lower bound for BHs produced by our models (see
[23, 24, 28] for compatible results). The minimal mass is
of the order of the Planck mass. Its actual value depends
on the value of the Barbero-Immirzi parameter γof LQG,
that is argued to be of order of 0.2[29, 30].
Consider the case of M > Mmin, i.e., 1/2< β < 1.
The function 1−F(r)has exactly two roots
r±=β1±√2β−1
p(1 + β)(1 −β)3√α,
that makes the coordinate tsingular. We extend the met-
ric tensor ds2
MS by following the steps similar to those for
