Conformalons and Trans-Planckian problem

In any conformally invariant gravitational theory, the space of exact solutions is greatly enlarged. The Weyl's conformal invariance can then be spontaneously broken to spherically symmetric vacuum solutions that exclude the spacetime region inside the black hole's event horizon from our Universe. We baptize these solutions ''conformalons''. It turns out that for all such spacetimes nothing can reach the Schwarzschild event horizon in a finite amount of proper time for conformally coupled ``massive'' particles, or finite values of the affine parameter for massless particles. Therefore, for such vacuum solutions the event horizon is an asymptotic region of the Universe. As a general feature, all conformalons show a gravitational blueshift instead of a gravitational redshift at the unattainable event horizon, hence avoiding the Trans-Planckian problem in the Hawking evaporation process. The latter happens as usual near the event horizon, but now the annihilation process between the matter and Hawking's negative energy particles takes place outside of the event horizon. Indeed, in these solutions the gravitational collapse consists of matter that falls down forever towards the horizon without ever reaching it. According to a previous work that has been faithfully adapted to the conformalons' scenario, the information is not lost in the whole process of singularity-free collapse and evaporation, as evident from the Penrose diagram.
