Retrieved sources discuss general spacetime curvature in gravitational fields and explore vacuum-energy core models inside black holes, but do not directly confirm that an interior vacuum specifically contributes to spacetime curvature in the manner asserted.
Core GCV baseline claim:The core GCV priority claim is a source-assignment criterion for exact spacetime-constant vacuum shifts: under explicit no-leak conditions, the exact zero mode renormalizes the global flux/topological sector rather than an independently running local cosmological-constant coupling. Local matter, radiation, fields, curvature-dependent terms, shells, semiclassical stress, perturbations, and other local excitations remain in the local stress tensor and gravitate normally. The source-assignment claim concerns only the exact spacetime-constant vacuum zero mode. Black-hole core claim:This standalone black-hole baseline record applies the fixed-sector GCV source-assignment rule to black-hole spacetimes. It imports the earlier fixed-sector exterior no-hair theorem, where the governed constant mode cannot become smooth radial exterior hair in a connected membrane-free fixed flux sector, and extends the analysis to static spherical interiors. Main result:For static spherical geometries, the paper separates the geometric Misner-Sharp mass into a locally supported part and a fixed cosmological-curvature part. The fixed curvature contribution is not counted as local black-hole substance. The paper also reconstructs the full local support tensor: local density, radial pressure, and tangential pressure. This gives a diagnostic for any proposed static spherical black-hole interior once Lambda_eff is treated as fixed cosmological curvature rather than local black-hole

Published June 11, 2026 | Version v1.0.0 Preprint Open Flux-fixed cosmological curvature and local support in fixed-sector GCV black holes: No constant-mode hair, source-resolved Misner-Sharp mass, and regular-core obstruction Authors/Creators Johansson, Germund (Researcher) Description Core GCV baseline claim: The core GCV priority claim is a source-assignment criterion for exact spacetime-constant vacuum shifts: under explicit no-leak conditions, the exact zero mode renormalizes the global flux/topological sector rather than an independently running local cosmological-constant coupling.
Local matter, radiation, fields, curvature-dependent terms, shells, semiclassical stress, perturbations, and other local excitations remain in the local stress tensor and gravitate normally. The source-assignment claim concerns only the exact spacetime-constant vacuum zero mode. Black-hole core claim: This standalone black-hole baseline record applies the fixed-sector GCV source-assignment rule to black-hole spacetimes. It imports the earlier fixed-sector exterior no-hair theorem, where the governed constant mode cannot become smooth radial exterior hair in a connected membrane-free fixed flux sector, and extends the analysis to static spherical interiors.
Main result: For static spherical geometries, the paper separates the geometric Misner-Sharp mass into a locally supported part and a fixed cosmological-curvature part. The fixed curvature contribution is not counted as local black-hole substance. The paper also reconstructs the full local support tensor: local density, radial pressure, and tangential pressure. This gives a diagnostic for any proposed static spherical black-hole interior once Lambda_eff is treated as fixed cosmological curvature rather than local black-hole stress.
Regular-core obstruction: A de Sitter-like core whose curvature differs from the fixed flux-sector value Lambda_eff requires explicit local support, a shell, a membrane or flux-sector transition, boundary or corner structure, or a source-assignment-compatible strong-field mechanism. The exact spacetime-constant vacuum mode alone cannot be the local material support of a black-hole core. Consistency checks: The record includes standard spherical consistency checks: Schwarzschild, Kottler/Schwarzschild-de Sitter, pure de Sitter/anti-de Sitter, and a generic de Sitter-like regular core.
These checks show that the fixed Lambda_eff term contributes cosmological curvature but not local black-hole substance. Scope and non-claims: This is not a new black-hole metric proposal, not a singularity-resolution theorem, not an evaporation or information-loss analysis, not a rotating Kerr-interior calculation, and not an observational black-hole measurement. It is a fixed-sector GCV support theorem and no-leak baseline for black-hole interiors. Its role is to state what the exact constant vacuum mode cannot become inside a lawful fixed sector, and to define what any GCV-compatible regular-core or strong-field continuation must supply instead.

In physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas 'weight'), also known as gravitation or a gravitational interaction, is a fundamental interaction, which may be described as the force that draws material objects towards each other.
The gravitational attraction between clouds of primordial hydrogen and clumps of dark matter in the early universe caused the hydrogen gas to coalesce, eventually condensing and fusing to form stars. At larger scales this resulted in galaxies and clusters, so gravity is a primary driver for the large-scale structures in the universe. Gravity has an infinite range, although its effects become weaker as objects get farther away.
Gravity is described by the general theory of relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915, which describes gravity in terms of the curvature of spacetime, caused by the uneven distribution of mass. The most extreme example of this curvature of spacetime is a black hole, from which nothing—not even light—can escape once past the black hole's event horizon. However, for most applications, gravity is sufficiently well approximated by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which describes gravity as an attractive force between any two bodies that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Scientists are looking for a theory that describes gravity in the framework of quantum mechanics (quantum gravity), which would unify gravity and the other known fundamental interactions of physics in a single mathematical framework (a theory of everything).
On the surface of a planetary body such as on Earth, the force of gravity operates towards the center of the body and is modified by the centrifugal effects arising from the rotation of the body. In this context, gravity gives weight to physical objects and is essential to understanding the mechanisms that are responsible for surface water waves, lunar tides and substantially contributes to weather patterns. Gravitational weight also has many important biological functions, helping to guide the growth of plants through the process of gravitropism and influencing the circulation of fluids in multicellular…
