The theoretical prediction of the stochastic property of the quantum cosmological constant and the quantum stochastic nature of event horizons has crucial implications on the physics of space-time and black holes in particular. One of these consequences concerns a new mechanism, which is investigated here, for the stochastic regularization of singular black-hole solutions of classical general relativity. The problem is posed in the context of the theory of covariant quantum gravity (CQG-theory), namely the manifestly covariant, constraint-free and finite graviton-mass quantum Hamiltonian approach developed by Cremaschini and Tessarotto (2015–2022), which permits to cast the theory in a frame-independent setting. It is precisely the trajectory-dependence feature of the theory and the intrinsic stochastic property of quantum gravity which turn out to be crucial properties for reaching quantum regularization of classical singular solutions.
