Abstract

This paper proposes a novel non-perturbative quantum gravity framework based on quantum topological structures. By introducing "quantum vortices" to characterize the topological order of statistical averages of microscopic particles and embedding the AdS/CFT holographic duality, black hole singularities are eliminated without requiring renormalization. Theoretical derivations demonstrate: the gravitational potential generated by the quantum vortex field forms a repulsive barrier within the critical radius, dynamically forbidding matter from reaching the singularity (r=0) and completely avoiding curvature divergence. The constructed Huang metric (a Schwarzschild metric with quantum gravity corrections) can predict the angular diameter of black hole shadows without free parameters, eliminating the need for post-observational fitting of Kerr black hole spin.

Observational validation demonstrates: the theoretical shadow angular diameter of Sgr A is 53.3 μas, which is in high agreement with the EHT measurement (51.8±2.3 μas); the theoretical shadow angular diameter of M87 is 46.2 μas, which falls within the reasonable error range of the EHT measurement (42±3 μas), fundamentally resolving the intrinsic contradiction of the Kerr black hole model in explaining the M87* shadow (the theoretical viewing angle of maximum black hole spin does not match the actual viewing angle).

This theory achieves for the first time a unified explanation of singularity elimination, information conservation, and black hole shadows by quantum gravity, providing the first testable quantum gravity framework for exploring the quantum structure of spacetime.

Abstract

We propose a non-perturbative quantum gravity framework that resolves black hole singularities without renormalization by utilizing quantum vortices—statistical average topological structures of microscopic particles—embedded within the AdS/CFT holographic duality. This constitutes a singularity resolution mechanism based on physical processes rather than mathematical techniques. The quantum vortex field generates a repulsive potential within a critical radius $r^ \approx 8.792 \times 10^{-11}\,\text{m}$, dynamically preventing matter from reaching $r=0$ and thereby avoiding curvature divergence. The derived Huang metric (a Schwarzschild metric with quantum corrections) predicts the angular diameter of black hole shadows without free parameters, eliminating the need for post-observational fitting of Kerr black hole spin. Observational verification demonstrates: the theoretical shadow for Sagittarius A (Sgr A) is $53.3\,\mu\text{as}$ (Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observed value: $51.8 \pm 2.3\,\mu\text{as}$), and for M87 is $46.2\,\mu\text{as}$ (EHT observed value: $42 \pm 3\,\mu\text{as}$), resolving contradictions inherent in Kerr models. This framework unifies singularity elimination, information conservation, and shadow prediction, providing a testable quantum gravity paradigm.

I. Introduction

The "singularity problem" has long hindered the unification of classical gravity and quantum mechanics: under the Schwarzschild metric, black hole singularities exhibit infinite curvature, violating quantum mechanics' requirement for finite physical quantities. Traditional quantum gravity approaches (e.g., string theory, loop quantum gravity) rely on perturbative quantization or discrete spacetime, lacking direct observational support. This study adopts a pathway distinct from conventional perturbative methods or purely mathematical constructions, prioritizing the development of a physical framework that can directly integrate with key astronomical observations. The core innovation lies in introducing "quantum vortices"—a unified microscopic carrier with a clear physical picture—embedded within AdS/CFT duality to achieve non-locality. The primary objective is to demonstrate that this framework simultaneously resolves the singularity problem and yields parameter-free predictions of black hole shadows (without requiring observational adjustment of black hole spin). The consistency between theoretical predictions and Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observational data provides strong preliminary support for the validity of this physical picture.

EHT imaging of Sagittarius A (Sgr A) and M87 reveals discrepancies between Kerr black hole predictions and observations (e.g., M87's shadow exceeds the Kerr upper limit). To address these issues, we introduce quantum vortices—quantum topologies arising from statistical averaging of fermions, bosons, and gauge fields (with non-local entanglement)—which naturally constitute a "unified field" after statistical averaging of all fields. Embedding this "unified field" within AdS/CFT duality non-perturbatively generates an internal repulsive potential that "dissolves" singularities at their source and enables parameter-free black hole shadow predictions.

II. Theoretical Framework

A. Quantum Vortices and AdS/CFT Duality

Quantum vortices are defined as the statistical average quantum topological structures of microscopic particles, with operator:

$$\mathcal{O}{\text{vortex}}(x, y) \sim \sqrt{\psi\psi}\,\phi\,\mathcal{A}$$}\mathcal{A}^{\mu\nu}\,e^{iW\theta(x,y)} \tag{1

(Superfluid helium experiments observing "quantum tornadoes" [e.g., vortex lattice structures in superfluid helium [1]] provide preliminary support for this topological structure's existence.)

The quantum vortex field operator is:

$$\Phi_{\text{vortex}}(x, y) = \mathcal{O}{\text{vortex}}(x, y) \int d^4y \sqrt{-g(y)} K(x, y) = \sqrt{\psi\psi}\,\phi\,\mathcal{A}$$}\mathcal{A}^{\mu\nu} e^{iW\theta(x,y)} \int d^4y \sqrt{-g(y)} \frac{e^{iW\theta(x,y)}}{(|x-y|^2 + \ell^2)^2} \tag{2

where:
- $\psi\psi$: fermion field, $[\psi\psi] = L^{-3}$
- $\phi$: boson field, $[\phi] = L^{-1}$
- $\mathcal{A}{\mu\nu} \equiv (B}, W_{\mu\nu}^a, G_{\mu\nu}^a)$: unified field strength tensor (macro-photon field), $[\mathcal{A{\mu\nu}] = L^{-2}$
- $e^{iW\theta(x,y)}$: vortex phase (connecting non-local entanglement)
- $\theta(x, y) \sim \arctan\left(\frac{y_2-x_2}{y_1-x_1}\right)$: topological phase
- $W = \oint
\nabla\theta \cdot dl$: vortex winding number}
- $K(x, y) = \frac{e^{iW\theta(x,y)}}{(|x-y|^2+\ell^2)^2}$: non-local kernel function, with $\ell$ as the minimal characteristic length (Planck length)

We employ nested AdS/CFT duality ($\text{AdS}_4/\text{CFT}_3 \supseteq \text{AdS}_3/\text{CFT}_2$ [2,3]): the $\text{AdS}_4$ bulk spacetime outside the black hole undergoes dimensional reduction to its internal $\text{CFT}_3$ boundary (and $\text{CFT}_2$ boundary), where quantum vortices generate discrete mass density. This nested AdS/CFT duality ($\text{AdS}_4/\text{CFT}_3 \supseteq \text{AdS}_3/\text{CFT}_2$) is based on the standard AdS/CFT correspondence, which establishes equivalence between gravitational theories in AdS bulk and conformal field theories on the boundary [2,3]. Standard AdS/CFT indicates that strongly coupled CFT on the boundary can be equivalently described by weakly coupled gravity in AdS bulk [2], and this core logic persists in our nested structure. We extend the single-level duality to a hierarchical structure based on spacetime property transitions (classical outside black hole, quantum inside) and quantum vortex distribution, consistent with AdS/CFT's flexible adaptation to different spacetime scenarios [3].

B. Modified Poisson Equation

In standard flat spacetime, the scalar field d'Alembert operator is $\partial_t^2 - \nabla^2\phi$. Black hole interior spacetime is spacelike (metric $g_{tt} > 0$), with extreme time dilation near the horizon (internal timelike radial coordinate $r_t \to \infty$), approximating flat spacetime. Using AdS/CFT duality, we dimensionally reduce the $\text{AdS}4$ bulk to the three-dimensional $\text{CFT}_3$ boundary (i.e., black hole exterior spacetime dual to interior), where the quantum vortex field satisfies a quantized d'Alembert operator (replacing scalar field $\phi$ with quantum vortex field $\phi$):}

$$\Box\phi_{\text{vortex}} = c^2 \partial_t^2\phi_{\text{vortex}} - \nabla^2\phi_{\text{vortex}}$$

with $k$ as the non-local entanglement relative strength factor (reflecting relativity of Planck's constant under entanglement). Treating the quantum vortex field $\phi_{\text{vortex}}$ as a free scalar field:

$$\Box\phi_{\text{vortex}} = 0 \Rightarrow \nabla^2\phi_{\text{vortex}} = c^2 \partial_t^2\phi_{\text{vortex}}$$

The $\text{CFT}3$ boundary, due to extreme timelike radial expansion ($r_t \to \infty$), exhibits microscopic structural spacetime duality (approximate flat supersymmetry). By quantum vortex definition: $\phi$), while topological entanglement between particles generates non-linear coupling.}} = \langle \phi_{\text{micro}} \rangle_{\text{stat}}$, where $\phi_{\text{micro}}$ is a single microscopic particle's topological field (e.g., local phase field of vortex lines) and $\langle \rangle_{\text{stat}}$ represents discrete statistical averaging over many particles. Individual particle topological fields satisfy linear dynamics (e.g., free field equation $\partial_t^2\phi_{\text{micro}} = \nabla^2\phi_{\text{micro}

When performing statistical averaging over these microscopic fields, cross-term expectations transform into macroscopic field non-linear terms: $\langle \partial_t^2\phi_{\text{micro}} \rangle_{\text{stat}} = \langle \nabla^2\phi_{\text{micro}} \rangle_{\text{stat}} + \langle \lambda\phi_{\text{micro}}\partial_t\phi_{\text{micro}} \rangle_{\text{stat}}$, where $\lambda$ is a coupling constant. For "high-density vortex systems" (e.g., regions with extreme quantum vortex density inside black holes), statistical averaging of cross terms dominates linear terms:

$$\partial_t^2\phi_{\text{vortex}} \approx \lambda\langle \phi_{\text{micro}}\partial_t\phi_{\text{micro}} \rangle_{\text{stat}} \sim \lambda\phi_{\text{vortex}}\partial_t\phi_{\text{vortex}}$$

Assuming the vortex field's temporal evolution exhibits "self-similarity" (i.e., $\phi_{\text{vortex}} \sim \partial_t\phi_{\text{vortex}}$, where the topology's time variation rate is comparable to its own intensity), this simplifies (setting $\lambda \sim a^2$) to:

$$\partial_t^2\phi_{\text{vortex}} \sim \lambda(\partial_t\phi_{\text{vortex}})^2 \sim a^2(\partial_t\phi_{\text{vortex}})^2$$

(analogous to the statistical averaging logic of "Reynolds stress" in turbulence: microscopic molecules' linear motion accumulates into macroscopic fluid's non-linear stress ($\langle u_i u_j \rangle \sim \partial_i U_j$); here, microscopic topological fields' linear evolution accumulates into macroscopic vortex field's non-linear time derivative through non-local entanglement). Thus:

$$\nabla^2\phi_{\text{vortex}} \approx c^2 (a \cdot \partial_t\phi_{\text{vortex}})^2$$

Substituting black hole mass $M$ and further applying "self-similarity":

$$\partial_t\phi_{\text{vortex}} = \frac{8\pi GM}{c\ell^2 t^2}$$

where $8\pi$ is the vortex winding number (winding phase $W$), with $W = 8\pi$ derived from the AdS/CFT conformal dimension formula $\Delta_{\text{vortex}} \sim \frac{W^2}{C}$. The conformal dimension $\Delta_{\text{vortex}} \approx 2$ (characterizing phase oscillation dimension), and central charge $C \approx 8$ ($\text{CFT}_3$ boundary statistical generator count: 4 fermions (weak hypercharge + left/right/z-component $\Rightarrow 1+3=4$) and 4 bosons (hypercolor (color precursor) + transverse/longitudinal/circular polarization $\Rightarrow 1+3=4$), yielding $C = 4+4=8$, satisfying black hole interior $\text{CFT}_3$ boundary symmetry: $U(2)_F \times U(2)_B$, where $U(2)_F = U(1)_Y \times SU(2)_L$ represents electroweak symmetry (weak hypercharge and isospin: fermionic properties from Standard Model symmetry $U(1)_Y \times SU(2)_L \times SU(3)_c$), and $U(2)_B = U(1)_C \times SU(2)_P$ represents color precursor symmetry (hypercolor and polarization: bosonic properties)). This reasonable modeling allows singularity dissolution through physical mechanisms at the source, with ultimate correctness determined by observational data (e.g., black hole shadows).

With winding number $W = 8\pi$, we obtain $a \approx \frac{GM}{c\ell^2}$, representing the phase density of non-local entanglement coupling on the $\text{CFT}_3$ boundary (coupling coefficient per winding phase, requiring normalization). The quantum vortex field satisfies:

$$\nabla^2\phi_{\text{vortex}} \approx c^2 (a \cdot \partial_t\phi_{\text{vortex}})^2 = \frac{k\hbar c^2 G^2 M^2}{64\pi^2 t^2}$$

(If following the Standard Model strictly, hypercolor should belong to fermions (quarks), but considering symmetry, assigning it to bosons (gluons) is more reasonable ($C = 4+4$). This treats color analogously to the Higgs mechanism for mass generation, acquired through gluon-quark interactions (similar to Yukawa coupling), naturally explaining observed color confinement.)

From the quantum vortex operator $\mathcal{O}{\text{vortex}}(x, y) \sim \sqrt{\psi\psi}\,\phi\,\mathcal{A}$) that counteracts classical gravitational potential:}\mathcal{A}^{\mu\nu}e^{iW\theta(x,y)}$, the quantum vortex field is essentially a scalar field coupled from other interactions (excluding classical gravity), physically possessing properties of other forces. For instance, the strong force's "Yukawa potential" is statistically reliable under the condition $\alpha_m\sqrt{\langle r^2 \rangle} \ll 1$ (i.e., "extreme distance") through Taylor expansion [4,5]: $\langle e^{-\alpha_m r} \rangle \approx \langle 1 + \ln(1-\alpha_m r) \rangle = 1 - \alpha_m\langle r \rangle - (\alpha_m)^2\langle r^2 \rangle + \cdots$. Under statistical averaging at "extreme distance," the Yukawa potential exhibits "logarithmic dependence" ($\ln(1-\alpha_m r)$), which naturally possesses "sign reversal" characteristics (force direction reversal). Extending this to the quantum vortex field $\phi_{\text{vortex}}$ can generate a quantum repulsive barrier competing with classical gravity under statistical averaging at "extreme distance," achieving non-perturbative "singularity removal" (rather than "smoothing" or "erasing" singularities). The Riemann tensor component $R_{trt}{}^r$'s divergent behavior near singularities ($R_{trt}{}^r \propto r^{-3}$) naturally provides the source term for this "logarithmic dependence" quantum effect. Therefore, through the black hole interior's spacelike temporal characteristic (since $g_{tt} > 0$), we can approximate using $r^{-3}$ to replace $t^{-2}$ in constructing a "logarithmic dependence" quantum gravity potential (generated by quantum vortex field $\phi_{\text{vortex}

$$\frac{k\hbar c^2 G^2 M^2}{64\pi^2 t^2} \approx \nabla^2\phi_{\text{vortex}} \approx \frac{k\hbar c^2 G^2 M^2}{64\pi^2 r^3}$$

This replacement implies that classical general relativity's own divergent behavior near singularities (Riemann tensor component $R_{trt}{}^r \propto r^{-3}$) simultaneously provides an intrinsic source term ($\frac{k\hbar c^2 G^2 M^2}{64\pi^2 r^3}$) preventing curvature divergence. Integrating this source term (solving Poisson's equation) naturally generates a logarithmic term that repels classical gravitational collapse toward singularities. In other words, spacetime spontaneously responds to the $R_{trt}{}^r \propto r^{-3}$ divergence, producing a finite observable result (e.g., black hole shadows) in a non-perturbative manner, thereby naturally and physically shielding the "singularity" without introducing exotic entity assumptions (such as 11-dimensional "strings" in string theory or "discretized spacetime" in loop quantum gravity).

Substituting the new density $\nabla^2\phi_{\text{vortex}}$ into Poisson's equation yields the modified Poisson equation for black hole interior $\text{CFT}$ boundary spacetime:

$$\nabla^2\Phi = 4\pi G \left(M\delta^3(r) + \frac{k\hbar c^2 G^2 M^2}{64\pi^2 r^3}\right) = 4\pi G M\delta^3(r) + \frac{k G\hbar M^2}{r^3}$$

where $\Phi$ is gravitational potential, $k$ is the non-local entanglement relative strength factor, $\delta^3(r)$ is the three-dimensional Dirac function, $M\delta^3(r)$ is the point mass source term, and $\frac{k G\hbar M^2}{r^3}$ is the quantum gravity mass source term.

We define the quantum gravitational constant:

$$G_\hbar \equiv \frac{\hbar c^2 G^3}{64\pi^2}$$

with dimensions $[G_\hbar] = \text{kg}^{-2}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-2}$. The quantity $[\hbar_{\text{CFT}2}] = \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^{-8}\,\text{s}^6$ originates from spacetime compression in the nested duality ($\text{AdS}_4/\text{CFT}_3 \supseteq \text{AdS}_3/\text{CFT}_2$). Due to spacetime compression factor $k}}^{\text{CFT2} = 1\,\text{m}^{-10}\,\text{s}^7$ (nested duality makes $\hbar \to \hbar2}$ value-invariant), the 10-dimensional coupled spacetime of $\text{AdS}_4$ (4-dimensional fluctuations + 6-dimensional phases from gauge group $(U(1)_Y \times SU(2)_L \times SU(3)_c)$ phase complex space coupling: $1+2+3=6$) compresses into $\text{CFT}_2$'s 7-dimensional coupled timelike dimensions (1-dimensional fluctuation + 6-dimensional phases), yielding $[\hbar2}] = (\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\text{s}^{-1}) \cdot (\text{m}^{-10}\text{s}^7) = \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^{-8}\text{s}^6$ (when quantum vortices in superfluid helium are confined to nanoscale spaces (simulating spacetime compression), their vortex phase oscillation energy $E \propto \hbar$ (Nat. Phys. 12, 478, 2016) [6], indirectly validating spacetime compression rationality).}}\omega$ satisfies $\hbar_{\text{eff}} \propto d^{-8}$ ($d$: confinement scale), consistent with dimension $\text{m}^{-8

After defining quantum gravitational constant $G_\hbar$, $[\hbar_{\text{CFT}2}]$ is absorbed into $[G\hbar]$, yielding $G_\hbar \approx 3.52245 \times 10^{-49}\,\text{kg}^{-2}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-2}$.

We acknowledge that dimensional reconstruction of fundamental constants (e.g., $\hbar$) is a profound claim. However, a scientific theory's validity should ultimately be judged by its predictive power. As demonstrated below, this framework's precise prediction of black hole shadows without any post-hoc fitting parameters provides strong preliminary support for this unconventional approach.

The non-local entanglement relative strength factor (characterizing Planck constant relativity under non-local entanglement) is:

$$k \equiv \frac{M_{\text{BH,ref}}}{M_{\text{BH,topo}}}$$

where $M_{\text{BH,ref}}$ is the non-local entanglement reference black hole mass, typically chosen as $M_{\text{SgrA}}$ (current Galactic Center black hole mass). Any black hole can serve as a reference, with Planck's constant changing accordingly ($\hbar_{\text{other}} = \frac{M_{\text{SgrA}}}{M_{\text{BH,ref}}} \cdot \hbar$), reflecting non-local entanglement relativity and implying that the quantum gravitational constant also changes relatively ($G_{\hbar}^{\text{other}} = \frac{M_{\text{SgrA*}}}{M_{\text{BH,ref}}} \cdot G_\hbar$). $M_{\text{BH,topo}}$ is the black hole mass creating the primary quantum gravity (quantum spacetime curvature) background for calculation, with non-local entanglement manifesting relative strength against $M_{\text{BH,ref}}$.

The winding number definition ($W = 8\pi$ from $W = \oint_{\mathcal{C}} \nabla\theta \cdot dl$) quantizes angular momentum (corresponding to microscopic particles' statistical average topological angular momentum). The relation $\partial_t\phi_{\text{vortex}}$ (vortex field time evolution) dynamically couples with the black hole's total angular momentum, making the quantum vortex field $\phi_{\text{vortex}}$ a natural "quantized angular momentum carrier." Its effect incorporates naturally through the non-local entanglement factor $k$ (determined by black hole mass ratio relative to a reference like Sgr A*), microscopically explaining "spin-like spacetime correction effects" (Kerr spin ($\alpha$) is a macroscopic fitting parameter in classical spacetime frameworks ($0 \leq \alpha \leq 1$) lacking clear microscopic physical pictures and requiring observational data inversion).

Thus, black hole angular momentum is not an isolated property but a relative relationship established through quantum entanglement between black holes. This resembles quantum mechanics, where entangled particles' properties are mutually defined (e.g., two electrons in spin entanglement $(|\uparrow\downarrow\rangle + |\downarrow\uparrow\rangle)/\sqrt{2}$ means measuring one electron's spin as "up" necessarily yields "down" for the other; their "spin" properties are defined relationally). Extending this logic to cosmic scales naturally constitutes the intrinsic nature of black hole angular momentum—the ER=EPR conjecture, where geometric "wormholes" and quantum entanglement are identical [7]. This implies that quantum entanglement between two distant black holes can be viewed as a "wormhole" connection in spacetime geometry, supporting that inter-blackhole entanglement can define geometric properties. With this mutual definition of black hole entanglement relationships, the quantum constant related to black hole quantized angular momentum carriers (quantum vortices)—Planck's constant $\hbar$—exhibits different relative values across different quantum gravity backgrounds (different black hole gravitational fields). The specific implementation measuring this relative strength is the $k$ factor characterizing black hole mass ratios. We recognize that relativizing Planck's constant $\hbar$ again touches modern physics' frontier, but our theoretical construction's初衷 remains validating hypotheses through observational predictions (e.g., black hole shadows).

Moreover, we note that Planck's constant's dimensions $[M][L]^2[T]^{-1}$ match angular momentum dimensions. Based on the quantized angular momentum concept ($W = \oint_{\mathcal{C}} \nabla\theta \cdot dl$), we can reasonably hypothesize a relationship between black hole mass ($M$) and Planck's constant (quantized angular momentum) in that black hole's quantum gravity background (${mvr}{\text{BH}} \sim {\hbar}$): $M \propto {mvr}}{\text{BH}} \sim {\hbar}$ (we reiterate that this simple scaling relationship remains validated through observational predictions like black hole shadows).}

Using the Galactic Center black hole (Sgr A) as reference: $M_{\text{SgrA}} \propto {mvr}_{\text{SgrA*}} \sim \hbar$. For other black holes:

$$k M_{\text{BH,topo}} = M_{\text{SgrA}} \Rightarrow M_{\text{BH,topo}} \propto {mvr}_{\text{SgrA}}/k \sim \hbar/k \Rightarrow M_{\text{BH,topo}} \propto {mvr}{\text{other}} \sim \hbar$$}

This corroborates that in other black holes' quantum gravity backgrounds, Planck's constant values ($\hbar_{\text{other}}$) must vary with "quantized angular momentum" relative strength—the black hole mass ratio.

From the modified Poisson equation:

$$\nabla^2\Phi = 4\pi G \left(M\delta^3(r) + \frac{k G\hbar M^2}{4\pi G r^3}\right) = 4\pi G M\delta^3(r) + \frac{k G\hbar M^2}{r^3}$$

we solve for the gravitational potential:

$$\Phi(r) = \Phi_1 + \Phi_2 = -\frac{GM}{r} - \frac{k G_\hbar M^2(\ln r + 1)}{r}$$

The classical gravity source term $4\pi G M\delta^3(r)$ corresponds to Newtonian potential $-\frac{GM}{r}$, while the quantum gravity source term $\frac{k G_\hbar M^2}{r^3}$ corresponds to quantum gravity potential $-\frac{k G_\hbar M^2(\ln r + 1)}{r}$ (note: the logarithm's argument $(r)$ must be dimensionless; Planck length can be normalized to 1m, making $\ln(r/1) = \ln r$ naturally dimensionless. Thus, all logarithm arguments $(r)$ in this theory implicitly contain normalization).

III. Huang Metric

In general relativity's weak-field approximation, the metric relates to gravitational potential as:

$$ds^2 = -A(r)c^2 dt^2 + B(r)dr^2 + r^2 d\Omega^2$$

with $A(r) \approx 1 + \frac{2\Phi(r)}{c^2}$ and $B(r) \approx 1 - \frac{2\Phi(r)}{c^2}$. Substituting $\Phi(r)$ yields the Huang metric $g_{\mu\nu}$:

$$ds^2 = -A(r)c^2 dt^2 + B(r)dr^2 + r^2 d\Omega^2 \tag{10}$$

$$A(r) \approx 1 - \frac{2GM}{c^2 r} - \frac{2k G_\hbar M^2(\ln r + 1)}{c^2 r}, \quad B(r) \approx 1 + \frac{2GM}{c^2 r} + \frac{2k G_\hbar M^2(\ln r + 1)}{c^2 r}$$

Key differences and physical implications between the Huang metric (Schwarzschild metric with quantum corrections) and the Schwarzschild metric:

  • Schwarzschild: $B = 1/A \Rightarrow \sqrt{B/A} = 1/A$, thus coordinate time $t$ diverges at the horizon.
  • Huang Metric: $B(r_h) = 2 \Rightarrow \sqrt{B/A} \sim 1/\sqrt{A}$, thus $\int dt$ remains finite, making coordinate time $t$ finite.

This means: the horizon is desingularized ($g_{rr}$ regular), and external static time $t$ no longer presents the horizon as an "infinite time boundary." Particles' escapability at the horizon implies black holes increase mass through merger rather than accretion, naturally explaining observed low black hole accretion rates, with tidally disrupted celestial fragments forming only accretion disks.

With the quantum-corrected Huang metric $g_{\mu\nu}$ and new gravitational potential $\Phi(r)$, generalized relativity calculations yield quantum-corrected field equations. First, based on the quantum correction term in the new gravitational potential ($k G_\hbar M^2(\ln r + 1)$), we postulate the quantum-corrected field equation form:

$$G_{\mu\nu} + \frac{k G_\hbar M^2(\ln r + 1)}{c^2} g_{\mu\nu} = \frac{8\pi G}{c^4} T_{\mu\nu} \tag{13}$$

Second, through Huang metric calculation:

1. Christoffel Symbols

For diagonal metric $g_{\mu\nu} = \text{diag}(-Ac^2, B, r^2, r^2\sin^2\theta)$, non-zero Christoffel symbols are:

$$\Gamma^\lambda_{\mu\nu} = \frac{1}{2} g^{\lambda\sigma}(\partial_\mu g_{\sigma\nu} + \partial_\nu g_{\sigma\mu} - \partial_\sigma g_{\mu\nu})$$

2. Ricci Tensor $R_{\mu\nu}$

$$R_{\mu\nu} = \partial_\lambda \Gamma^\lambda_{\mu\nu} - \partial_\nu \Gamma^\lambda_{\mu\lambda} + \Gamma^\sigma_{\lambda\lambda} \Gamma^\lambda_{\mu\nu} - \Gamma^\sigma_{\nu\lambda} \Gamma^\lambda_{\mu\sigma}$$

4. Einstein Tensor

$$G_{\mu\nu} = R_{\mu\nu} - \frac{1}{2}g_{\mu\nu}R$$

$$R = g^{\mu\nu}R_{\mu\nu}$$

Finally, comparing with the energy-momentum tensor $T_{\mu\nu}$ yields the Einstein-Huang field equations (quantum correction term divided by $c^2$):

$$G_{\mu\nu} + \Lambda(r) g_{\mu\nu} = \frac{8\pi G}{c^4} T_{\mu\nu} \tag{14}$$

where:

$$\Lambda(r) = \frac{k G_\hbar M^2(\ln r + 1)}{c^2} \tag{15}$$

The field equations become:

$$G_{\mu\nu} + \Lambda(r) g_{\mu\nu} = \frac{8\pi G}{c^4} T_{\mu\nu} \tag{16}$$

  • Foreground curvature: Einstein tensor $G_{\mu\nu}$ (classical spacetime curvature) characterizes Newtonian gravity.
  • Background curvature: $\Lambda(r) g_{\mu\nu}$ (quantum spacetime curvature tensor) characterizes quantum gravity coupled from other interactions (electromagnetic, strong, weak).

Defining the Huang tensor ($H_{\mu\nu} = \Lambda(r) g_{\mu\nu}$), we can define total curvature tensor $\hat{G}_{\mu\nu}$, and the Einstein-Huang field equations become:

$$\hat{G}{\mu\nu} = G$$} + H_{\mu\nu} = \frac{8\pi G}{c^4} T_{\mu\nu} \tag{17

Note that $\nabla_\mu \hat{G}^{\mu\nu} \neq 0$ does not violate general conservation, as when $\nabla_\mu G^{\mu\nu} = 0$, the field equations yield $\nabla_\mu H^{\mu\nu} = \frac{8\pi G}{c^4} \nabla_\mu T^{\mu\nu}$, meaning quantum spacetime curvature fluctuations inside black holes spontaneously generate energy-momentum flow. In extreme black hole environments, virtual particle fluctuations can be excited to real particle excited states by the repulsive potential ($\Phi(r) > 0$) within the critical radius ($r < 8.792 \times 10^{-11}\,\text{m}$) that prevents singularity formation, thereby extending general relativity's conservation laws. This extension echoes the earlier "particle excited states tunneling and escaping black holes with information"—the tunneling particles are precisely generated by this energy-momentum flow. Assuming no black hole ($H_{\mu\nu} = 0$), the Einstein-Huang field equations reduce to standard Einstein field equations: $\hat{G}{\mu\nu} = G = 0$)," establishing a hierarchical rather than adversarial relationship.} = \frac{8\pi G}{c^4} T_{\mu\nu}$. This extension logic mirrors general relativity's extension of Newtonian mechanics: Newtonian mechanics wasn't overturned but became the low-velocity, non-spacetime-curvature limit; similarly, this theory doesn't overturn general relativity but makes it the limit of "ignoring black holes and quantum effects ($H_{\mu\nu

Additionally, for equatorial null geodesics, defining impact parameter $b \equiv Lc/E$, the closest approach $r_0$ satisfies $b^2 = \frac{A(r_0)}{B(r_0)} r_0^2$, yielding the gravitational lensing deflection angle under Huang metric:

$$\hat{\alpha}(b) = 2\int_{r_0}^\infty \frac{dr}{r\sqrt{\frac{B(r)}{A(r)}\frac{r^2}{r_0^2} - 1}} - \pi \tag{18}$$

a) Strong-field regime: As closest approach approaches photon ring $r_0 \to r_{\text{ph}}$, divergence occurs. The extra logarithmic correction in $A(r)$ causes the photon ring radius to shift outward compared to Schwarzschild, with divergence appearing earlier, "trapping" light sooner. Consequently, any light attempting to graze near the horizon undergoes drastic deflection, effectively not contributing to "clear imaging" light paths—multiple diffraction orbits cannot form stable images. Thus, black hole shadow and bright ring sizes are primarily determined by Huang metric geometry rather than叠加 of numerous light ray deflections. In other words, EHT's observed ring-shaped emission represents the true luminosity distribution of the black hole and accretion disk, not a "deflection-assembled" illusion. Therefore, the critical impact parameter ($b_c = \sqrt{A(r_{\text{ph}})}$) no longer characterizes black hole shadow radius.

b) Weak-field regime: For weak deflection with $b \gg r_s$ (galaxy cluster/galaxy-scale lensing, or black hole microlensing), expanding $A(r), B(r)$ to $1/r$ order ($\frac{2k G_\hbar M^2(\ln r+1)}{c^2 r} \ll 1$) and applying "thin lens" paraxial approximation:

$$\hat{\alpha}(b) \approx \frac{4k G_\hbar M^2}{c^2 b}(\ln b + 1 - \ln 2) \approx \frac{4k G_\hbar M^2}{c^2 b}\ln b \tag{19}$$

When $k = 0$, this reduces to standard general relativistic gravitational lensing.

IV. Black Hole Shadow Calculation and Observational Verification

  • Schwarzschild radius unchanged: $r_s = 2GM/c^2$
  • Huang metric horizon $r_h$: From $g_{tt} = 0$, the horizon equation is:

$$c^2 r = 2GM + 2k G_\hbar M^2(\ln r + 1) \tag{20}$$

This equation has two roots: horizon $r_h$ and $\text{CFT}2$ boundary $r}} \approx 8.85 \times 10^{-11}\,\text{m}$ (constant), with relations: $r \to r_h^- \Rightarrow g_{tt} \to 0^+$ and $r \to r_{\text{CFT}}^- \Rightarrow g_{tt} \to 0^-$. This means $g_{tt} \to 0$ causes time dilation ($t \to \infty$) near both $r_h$ and $r_{\text{CFT}}$, approximating flat spacetime (black hole interior spacetime is spacelike ($g_{tt} > 0$): $t \to \infty \Rightarrow r_t$ (timelike radial) $\to \infty$), naturally forming two CFT boundaries: $\text{CFT3$ boundary $r_h$ (horizon) and $\text{CFT}_2$ boundary $r_2$).}} (\approx 8.85 \times 10^{-11}\,\text{m})$. This constitutes a necessary condition for nested duality ($\text{AdS}_4/\text{CFT}_3 \supseteq \text{AdS}_3/\text{CFT

For $r < r_{\text{CFT}} \approx 8.85 \times 10^{-11}\,\text{m} \Rightarrow \Lambda(r) < 0$, an extremely small $\text{AdS}4$ anti-de Sitter spacetime exists at the black hole center, forming the second necessary condition for $\text{AdS}/\text{CFT}$ duality. Combined with the two approximately flat spacetime boundaries formed by Huang metric ($g} \to 0^+$ at $r_h^-$ forming $\text{CFT3$ boundary and $g_2$ duality!} \to 0^-$ at $r_{\text{CFT}}^-$ forming $\text{CFT}_2$ boundary), these together constitute sufficient conditions for $\text{AdS}_4/\text{CFT}_3 \supseteq \text{AdS}_3/\text{CFT

  • Huang metric photon ring $r_{\text{ph}}$: For photons with $ds^2 = 0$ and circular orbits $\dot{r} = 0$, satisfying effective potential $V_{\text{eff}}(r_{\text{ph}}) = 0$, the photon ring equation is:

$$c^2 r = 3GM + k G_\hbar M^2(3\ln r + 2) \tag{21}$$

This equation also has two roots: photon ring $r_{\text{ph}}$ and $\text{AdS}3$ bulk onset $r_2$ duality.}} \approx 1.23 \times 10^{-10}\,\text{m}$ (constant). Interpreting $r_{\text{ph}}$ as $\text{AdS}_4$ bulk onset also forms two bulk boundaries, echoing $\text{AdS}_4/\text{CFT}_3 \supseteq \text{AdS}_3/\text{CFT

The Huang metric's quantum term $\propto \ln r + 1$ suggests that under non-local entanglement, logarithmic radius $\ln r$ is more natural than linear coordinate $r$. Performing variable substitution $x = \ln r$, the $(r_h, r_{\text{ph}})$ tunneling interval becomes $(\ln r_h, \ln r_{\text{ph}})$ (i.e., $(x_h, x_{\text{ph}})$).

Tunneling Probability Analysis:

For photons tunneling from $r_h$ to visible $r$, the WKB approximation gives tunneling probability density $P(x) \propto e^{-2S(x)}$ (where action: $S(x) \sim \int \sqrt{2m(V(x) - E)} dx$). From total gravitational potential $\Phi(r)$, the potential barrier originates from quantum gravity potential's logarithmic term: $V(x) \sim V_0 + a\frac{\ln r + 1}{r} = V_0 + a\frac{x+1}{e^x}$. In tunneling interval $r \in (r_h, r_{\text{ph}})$, linear approximation expands $\sqrt{V(x) - E}$ to first order, approximating it as linear in $(x_h, x_{\text{ph}})$: $\sqrt{V(x) - E} \approx \alpha + \beta(x - x_c)$, where $x_c$ is an intermediate point. Thus, action $S(x)$ becomes quadratic: $S(x) \approx S_0 + A(x - x_c) + B(x - x_c)^2$, giving $P(x) \propto e^{-2S(x)} \sim e^{-2B(x-x_c)^2} \times (\text{slowly varying factor})$. This means tunneling probability follows a Gaussian distribution in tunneling interval $(r_h, r_{\text{ph}})$. The visible distribution of decoupled tunneling photons in $(r_h, r_{\text{ph}})$ becomes Brownian random walk in logarithmic space $(x_h, x_{\text{ph}})$. In this case, tunneling steady-state naturally distributes at the arithmetic mean: $x_{\text{sh}} \approx (x_h + x_{\text{ph}})/2 \Rightarrow \ln r_{\text{sh}} \approx (\ln r_h + \ln r_{\text{ph}})/2$.

  • Shadow radius (tunneling steady-state radius) takes geometric mean:

$$r_{\text{sh}} \approx \sqrt{r_h r_{\text{ph}}} \tag{22}$$

(converting logarithmic variable $x = \ln r$ back to linear variable $r = e^x$)

  • Observed shadow angular diameter:

$$\theta_{\text{sh}} = \frac{2r_{\text{sh}}}{D} \tag{23}$$

where $D$ is distance.

Black Hole Shadow Angular Diameter Calculation and Comparison with EHT Observations [8,9] (gravitational field only)

V. Limitations of Traditional Mechanisms in Explaining EHT Shadows

Contradiction A: Kerr black hole spin interpretation of shadows shows M87's observed shadow angular diameter implies an actual shadow diameter ($5.5\,r_s$) slightly exceeding the maximum-spin Kerr black hole prediction upper limit ($4.8\,r_s \sim 5.2\,r_s$, specifically $5.2\,r_s$). This limit depends on equatorial edge-on observation, whereas actual observation angle (M87 jet-line angle $17^\circ$) is not equatorial but polar, so Kerr black hole's actual shadow should偏向 $4.8\,r_s$, creating significant theory-observation tension (more pronounced for larger black hole masses, i.e., Kerr shadows become increasingly smaller than observed). While subsequent RQCBH (rotating quantum-corrected black hole) and GCKBH (generalized uncertainty principle-corrected) models explain M87*'s actual shadow diameter, they rely on free parameters $\alpha \sim 0.1$ and $\epsilon \sim 0.4$ to fit observations.

Huang metric's parameter-free black hole shadow calculation (requiring only black hole mass $M$ and mass ratio $k$ relative to Sgr A) means any black hole shadow can be calculated without prior EHT observation (e.g., Andromeda's M31), with EHT observations serving as validation.

Contradiction B: Traditional views hold that light deflection near black holes creates false imaging through multiple diffraction叠加 (like a "funhouse mirror"). If EHT's bright ring resulted from light deflection, the jet base should deviate from ring center (since jets emit along rotation axis). However, 2021 EHT polarization data reveals M87's jet base precisely passes through the bright ring's geometric center [10], directly contradicting traditional multiple-diffraction scenarios.

Gravitational lensing deflection angle analysis under the new metric (Huang metric) shows: strong fields near black holes do not produce false imaging through multiple diffraction (since photon rings shift outward compared to Schwarzschild, "trapping" light earlier). Instead, true luminosity distributions (including accretion disk/plasma emission) are observed, naturally explaining 2023 EHT jet observations. Genuine gravitational lensing light deflection occurs in weak fields far from black holes.

This Theory vs. Kerr Black Hole Model [11]

Feature Kerr Black Hole Model This Theory Singularity Problem Unresolved; Kerr model has intrinsic ring singularity, remains incomplete under classical GR, cannot satisfy information conservation Resolved; when $r < 8.792 \times 10^{-11}\,\text{m}$, quantum gravity generates repulsive potential barrier that dynamically prevents matter from reaching singularity and satisfies information conservation Free Parameters Requires observational fitting of two key extra parameters: 1. Dimensionless spin $\alpha$ ($0 \leq \alpha \leq 1$); 2. Observation inclination $i$ None (no observational fitting of $\alpha, i$ needed) Shadow Prediction Black hole mass $M$, distance $D$, plus fitted $\alpha, i$ Black hole mass $M$, distance $D$, plus mass ratio $k$

The Event Horizon Telescope's observations of two black holes, using quantum-corrected Huang metric, yield theoretical values that almost perfectly match actual observations without post-hoc spin fitting (especially resolving M87*'s maximum-spin equatorial angle vs. actual polar angle contradiction). This proves that introducing quantum vortices' statistical average quantum topological structure eliminates singularities non-perturbatively without renormalization and matches EHT observations!

Predicting Arbitrary Black Hole Shadow Sizes:

  1. Input black hole mass $M_{\text{BH,topo}}$
  2. Calculate non-local entanglement relative strength factor: $k = \frac{M_{\text{BH,ref}}}{M_{\text{BH,topo}}}$ (using $M_{\text{BH,ref}} = M_{\text{SgrA*}}$)
  3. Solve equation system ($M = M_{\text{BH,topo}}$):
    $$\begin{cases}
    c^2 r_h = 2GM + 2k G_\hbar M^2(\ln r_h + 1) & \text{(solve } r_h) \
    c^2 r_{\text{ph}} = 3GM + k G_\hbar M^2(3\ln r_{\text{ph}} + 2) & \text{(solve } r_{\text{ph}})
    \end{cases}$$
  4. Calculate shadow radius: $r_{\text{sh}} = \sqrt{r_h r_{\text{ph}}}$
  5. Calculate angular diameter: $\theta_{\text{sh}} = 2r_{\text{sh}}/D$
  6. Compare with EHT observations

Like EHT observational data, this calculation is public and reproducible.

Notably, how extreme quantum gravity potential energy release and winding number transitions inside black holes produce unique quantum gravity effects—such as superluminal circular polarization radiation with polarization flips (polarization degree >90%, contradicting traditional stellar models where superluminal circular polarization and polarization flips cannot coexist), with observed repeating radio burst FRB20201124A as a typical example—along with this theory's breakthroughs in naturally explaining long-standing physical puzzles including galaxy rotation curves (dark matter-related), dark energy nature and dynamics, and Hubble tension, will be detailed in subsequent studies.
