Ghost Holes: Long-Duration Dark Gravitational Lenses as Pre-Geometric Objects within the Modelo Quântico de Parâmetro
Abstract
Recent surveys of gravitational microlensing and strong lensing have revealed a growing class of long-duration lensing events attributed to isolated dark lenses, traditionally interpreted as stellar-mass black holes or neutron stars. However, several of these events exhibit persistent tensions between photometric, astrometric, and population-based constraints. In this work, we identify and formalize a class of anomalous dark lenses, which we refer to as Ghost Holes: gravitationally active objects that produce lensing signatures without detectable electromagnetic counterparts and without consistent interpretation as classical compact remnants. We propose that Ghost Holes may be interpreted, within the framework of the Modelo Quântico de Parâmetro (MQP), as pre-geometric or geometry-depleting objects characterized by a suppressed geometric order parameter. We outline their expected observational signatures and propose strategies for falsification using current and upcoming astrometric and microlensing data.
