A. Quantum Vortices and AdS/CFT Duality
A quantum vortex is defined as the statistical average quantum topological structure of microscopic particles, with the operator:
Superfluid helium experiments [
1] (e.g., quantum vortex lattices) confirm this topological structure.
Quantum vortex field operator:
Where:
: fermion field, .
: boson field, .
: unified field strength tensor, .
: vortex phase, which connects to non-local entanglement (quantum entanglement).
: winding number.
: topological phase.
: non-local kernel function, : minimal characteristic length (Planck length).
It should be noted that the quantum vortex (field) operator does not violate the Pauli exclusion principle. First, the vortex phase
in the operator already indicates a non-local (entangled) statistical average. Second, the apparent structure of this microscopic topology primarily resides in regions of immense spacetime curvature—"near the black hole"—where the Pauli exclusion principle is weakened by the extreme curvature. This assumption also finds indirect support from simulations of superfluid helium "quantum tornados" near analog black holes [
1].
We use AdS/CFT nested duality (
[
2,
3] ): the black hole’s external 4D
bulk spacetime is dimensionally reduced to its internal 3D
boundary (2D
boundary
1D
boundary), where quantum vortices generate a discrete mass density. The nested AdS/CFT duality [
2,
3] adopted in this work (
) is based on the core holographic correspondence of standard AdS/CFT, which establishes an equivalence between gravitational theories in AdS bulk spacetime and conformal field theories on the boundary. The standard AdS/CFT duality reveals that the strongly coupled CFT on the boundary can be equivalently described by the weakly coupled gravity theory in the AdS bulk, and this core logic is retained in our nested structure. We only extend the single-level duality to a multi-level hierarchy [
2,
3] according to the spacetime property transition (classical outside the black hole, quantum inside) and the distribution of quantum vortices, which is consistent with the flexible adaptation of AdS/CFT duality to different spacetime scenarios.
B. Corrected Poisson Equation
In standard flat spacetime, the d'Alembert operator for scalar fields is: . The time inside a black hole is spacelike (metric ), and time is extremely dilated near the horizon (the internal timelike radial coordinate ). Similar to flat spacetime, AdS/CFT duality is used to reduce the dimension of the four-dimensional () bulk spacetime to a three-dimensional () boundary—i.e., the black hole’s external spacetime is dualistically dimensionally reduced to its interior (). The quantum vortex field satisfies the quantized d'Alembert operator (with the scalar field replaced by the quantum vortex field ): . The quantum vortex field can be treated as a free scalar field: .
According to the definition of quantum vortices: , where is the topological field of a single microscopic particle (e.g., the local phase field of a vortex line), and denotes the discrete statistical average of a large number of particles. The topological field of a single particle satisfies linear dynamics (e.g., the free field equation ), but topological entanglement between particles produces non-linear coupling.
When taking the statistical average of these microscopic fields, the expected value of the cross term is converted into a non-linear term of the macroscopic field:
, where
is the coupling constant. For "high-density vortex systems" (e.g., regions with extremely high quantum vortex density inside black holes), the statistical average of the cross term dominates the linear term, i.e.,
. It can be assumed that the temporal evolution of the vortex field exhibits "self-similarity" (i.e.,
, where the rate of change of the topological structure with time is comparable to its own intensity). This simplifies to (setting
):
(similar to the statistical average logic of "Reynolds stress" in turbulence: the linear motion of microscopic molecules accumulates into non-linear stress of the macroscopic fluid through collisions (
); here, the linear evolution of microscopic topological fields accumulates into the non-linear time derivative of the macroscopic vortex field through non-local entanglement):
(Substituting the black hole mass
, the "self-similarity" is further transformed into:
.
is the phase density coupling constant for non-local entanglement at the
boundary, the winding number
)
B.1 Derivation of Key Constants: Winding Number and Coupling Constant
The core of our non-perturbative framework lies in the physical determination of the winding number W and the phase density coupling constant a , which are crucial for the quantum vortex operator and the subsequent correction to the Poisson equation. Their values are not ad hoc but are derived from the consistency conditions of the nested AdS/CFT duality.
1. Winding Number :
The winding number is a topological invariant characterizing the quantum vortex. Within the boundary inside the black hole, the quantum vortex operator possesses a definite conformal dimension . For a scalar operator like ours, is a natural and consistent choice. The central charge C of the boundary is determined by the symmetry of the quantum vortex field. The internal spacetime of the black hole exhibits a high degree of symmetry, which can be effectively described by .
◦ , associated with fermionic degrees of freedom, corresponds to the electroweak symmetry , contributing 4 generators.
◦ , associated with bosonic degrees of freedom, corresponds to a pre-color symmetry (related to hyper-color charge and polarization), also contributing 4 generators.
This gives a total central charge
. The conformal dimension
of an operator is related to its topological charge (winding number
) in this setup by the approximate relation
. Substituting
and
yields:
This derivation roots the winding number in the conformal data of the holographic dual theory.
2. Coupling Constant :
The constant a represents the phase density coupling constant for non-local entanglement at the boundary, normalized per unit winding phase. Given that the winding number is now established as , the coupling constant naturally inherits the factor when considering the coupling per unit phase. Furthermore, to account for the strong coupling between fermionic and bosonic degrees of freedom on the CFT boundary, the combination of the gravitational constant and the speed of light is necessitated. Thus, the expression emerges naturally as the coupling strength per unit winding phase within the gravitational context. This is not an arbitrary choice but a consequence of the topological structure ( W ) and its interaction with gravity ( G, c ).
With W and a physically motivated, the term in Eq. (3) of the original text loses its ad hoc nature. It becomes a result of the statistical averaging of microscopic topological fields and the specific holographic embedding we have employed.
B.2 Singularity Resolution
It can be inferred from the quantum vortex operator (
) that: the quantum vortex field is essentially a scalar field coupled by other interactions (excluding classical gravity), and physically possesses the properties of other fundamental forces. For example, for the "Yukawa potential" representing the strong force, as long as the system satisfies
(i.e., under "extremely short distances"), this approximation is statistically reliable (via Taylor expansion) [
4,
5]:
. It can be seen that under the "extremely short distances" of statistical averaging, the Yukawa potential exhibits a "logarithmic dependence" (
), and this "logarithmic dependence" inherently possesses a "sign reversal property" (reversal of force direction). If extended to the quantum vortex field, it can generate a quantum repulsive barrier counteracting classical gravity under the "extremely short distances" of statistical averaging, achieving non-perturbative "singularity resolution" (rather than "smoothing" or "erasing" the singularity). The divergent behavior of the Riemann tensor component
near the singularity (
) naturally provides the quantum effect source term for this "logarithmic dependence". Therefore, through the spacelike property of the internal time of the black hole (due to
),
can be approximately replaced by
to construct a "logarithmically dependent" quantum gravitational potential (generated by the quantum vortex field
) that counteracts the classical gravitational potential, thereby achieving "singularity resolution":
This substitution implies that the divergent behavior of classical general relativity near the singularity—exemplified by the Riemann tensor component —intrinsically contains the source term () that prevents its own curvature divergence. Integrating this source term (by solving the Poisson equation) naturally generates a logarithmic term, which in turn counteracts classical gravitational collapse into a singularity. In other words, spacetime spontaneously forms a response to the divergence of , and this response non-perturbatively yields a finite observable result—such as the black hole shadow. Thereby, without introducing extrinsic entity assumptions—such as the “strings” in 11-dimensional string theory or “discretized spacetime” in loop quantum gravity—the “singularity” is naturally and physically screened.
For the
boundary spacetime inside the black hole, the Poisson equation is corrected to include quantum gravity effects:

The quantum gravitational constant

Dimensional Transmutation and the Quantum Gravitational Constant :
The definition of the quantum gravitational constant implies a profound dimensional transmutation. This arises naturally from the complete nested AdS/CFT duality structure, , which describes the gravitational transition from the classical exterior to the deeply quantum interior of the black hole.
The effective Planck constant at the innermost boundary, denoted , undergoes a radical dimensional change due to the holographic spacetime compression toward the boundary. The compression factor with dimensions is a direct consequence of this hierarchical duality.
Derivation of the Compression Factor :
The external AdS_4 bulk spacetime (4 dimensions) is coupled with the internal phase dimensions associated with the gauge symmetries of the Standard Model fields. The symmetry group corresponds to a total of 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 internal phase dimensions (complex space), forming a coupled 10-dimensional structure (4 + 6 = 10).
The complete nested duality maps this 10-dimensional bulk structure onto the ultimate boundary. The boundary, being 1-dimensional, inherits the description of all 6 internal phase dimensions, resulting in an effective 1 + 6 = 7-dimensional description. The dimensional discrepancy between the original 10-dimensional bulk and the final 7-dimensional boundary description is precisely accounted for by the compression factor . The factor originates from the compactification of the 10-dimensional bulk space, while the factor ensures the conservation of fundamental scales (like the speed of light c) under this dimensional mapping. The numerical value of 1 is set by requiring the magnitude of the effective action at the boundary to be consistent with the standard quantum principles in the semi-classical limit.
Therefore, the effective Planck constant at the
boundary becomes:
This very unconventional dimension for an effective Planck constant finds a remarkable phenomenological analogy in confined quantum systems. For instance, in superfluid helium-4 confined to nano-scale geometries, experiments have observed that the effective Planck constant governing vortex dynamics scales inversely with a high power of the confinement scale d, approximately as
[
6]. This scaling with
is consistent with the
dimension in
, providing indirect empirical support for the physical plausibility of such dimensional compression in extreme gravitational environments.
The quantum gravitational constant
is then defined to absorb this dimensionally transmuted
, resulting in its final dimensions
. Therefore, the seemingly unusual dimensions of
are not arbitrary but are a natural signature of the ultimate holographic compression of quantum degrees of freedom at the deepest level near the black hole's core. The ultimate validation of this approach, as emphasized throughout this work, lies in its parameter-free, observational predictions.
Quantum gravity mass source formed by the coupling of other forces (electromagnetic, strong, and weak forces);
Non-local entanglement factor. : reference black hole mass for non-local entanglement, generally chosen as (the current mass of the Galactic Center black hole). Any black hole can be chosen as the reference, but Planck’s constant must change accordingly () to reflect the relativity of non-local entanglement, which means the quantum gravitational constant also changes relatively (); : The black hole mass that creates the main quantum gravitational (quantum spacetime curvature) background for the topological target of the calculation. Its non-local entanglement with reflects the relative strength; The definition of the winding number (), given by , serves as a quantized angular momentum characterization (corresponding to the topological angular momentum from the statistical average of microscopic particles). Meanwhile, (temporal evolution of the vortex field) achieves dynamic correlation with the total angular momentum of the black hole, rendering the quantum vortex field a natural "carrier of quantized angular momentum." Its influence is naturally incorporated into the formula through the non-local entanglement factor k (determined by the ratio of the black hole mass to the reference black hole (e.g., Sgr A*)), thereby explaining the "spin-like spacetime correction effect" from a microscopic mechanism. In contrast, the Kerr spin () is a macroscopic fitting parameter within the classical spacetime framework (), which lacks a clear microscopic physical picture and must be inferred retroactively from observational data.
It follows that a black hole's angular momentum is not an isolated property, but rather a relative relationship established between black holes via quantum entanglement. This is analogous to the way properties of entangled particles are mutually defined in quantum mechanics—for instance, in the spin-entangled state of two electrons, , measuring one electron as "spin-up" immediately determines the other as "spin-down." Their "spin" attributes are defined through correlation.
Extending this logic to cosmic scales naturally reveals the intrinsic nature of black hole angular momentum—as captured by the ER=EPR conjecture, which posits that geometric "wormholes" are one and the same as quantum entanglement [
7]. This implies that the quantum entanglement between two seemingly distant black holes can be geometrically understood as a wormhole connection, supporting the idea that entanglement between black holes can define their geometric attributes.
Given this mutually defined entanglement relationship between black holes, the quantum constant associated with the carrier of quantized angular momentum—the quantum vortex—namely, the Planck constant , naturally exhibits different relative values under different quantum-gravitational backgrounds (i.e., different black hole gravitational fields). The concrete implementation to quantify this relative strength is embodied in the -factor, which characterizes the mass ratio between black holes.We are fully aware that relativizing the Planck constant once again pushes the boundaries of modern physics. Nevertheless, the guiding principle of our theoretical construction remains to test the plausibility of our hypotheses through the empirical accountability of their predictions—such as those concerning black hole shadows.
Furthermore, we note that the Planck constant
shares the same dimensional structure as angular momentum—
. Based on the concept of quantized angular momentum (
), it is entirely reasonable to postulate a relationship between the black hole mass M and the Planck constant (representing quantized angular momentum,
) in its quantum-gravitational background:
(We reiterate that even this simple scaling relation must ultimately be validated by the empirical accountability of its predictions, such as those for black hole shadows.)
If we take the Galactic Center black hole (Sgr A*) as the reference, then:
and for any other black hole, it follows that:
This further supports the idea that, under the quantum-gravitational background formed by a different black hole’s field, the corresponding Planck constant (
) must depend on the relative strength of the quantized angular momentum (
)—which is determined by the black hole mass ratio.
Solving this Poisson equation (spherically symmetric,
) gives the total gravitational potential:
(Note: The argument of a logarithmic term must be dimensionless. By normalizing with the Planck length—effectively considering
—the dimension of the logarithmic argument is naturally eliminated. That is, in all logarithmic expressions appearing in this theory, the radial coordinate r is implicitly normalized )
The logarithmic term becomes negative for , making inside , generating a repulsive force that eliminates the singularity, which kicks virtual particles from vacuum fluctuations out of "particle-antiparticle" annihilation into excited particle states. Through the duality, the excited particle states undergo tunneling escape from the black hole via , and finally become real particles outside the black hole.
For the first time, this makes the black hole consistent with the unitarity of quantum mechanics: tunneling particles carry away information with them as they escape. Concurrently, the black hole loses mass, thereby ensuring overall information conservation and resolving the long-standing black hole information paradox triggered by "Hawking radiation."
As evidenced by the above mechanism, this represents a proactive and preventive physical process. It operates before matter reaches the Planck scale (with ), thereby circumventing the need to directly confront the actual "infinity." This stands in contrast to many conventional approaches—such as string theory and loop quantum gravity—which often constitute retroactive interventions, attempting to perform mathematical "surgery" on a spacetime that has already diverged.
