Abstract
In this paper, we explore the characteristics of two novel regular spacetimes that exhibit a nonzero vacuum energy term, under the form of a (quasi) anti-de Sitter phase. Specifically, the first metric is spherical, while the second, derived by applying the generalized Newman–Janis algorithm to the first, is axisymmetric. We show that the equations of state of the effective fluids associated with the two metrics asymptotically tend to negative values, resembling quintessence. In addition, we study test particle motions, illustrating the main discrepancies among our models and more conventional metrics exhibiting non-vanishing anti-de Sitter phase.
