A notable\u0000feature of our model is that the regular solution closely resembles the vacuum\u0000solution before reaching the event horizon. For odd $n$, the transverse\u0000geometry is spherical, with phase transitions occurring during evaporation, and\u0000the final state of this process is a remnant. For even $n$, the transverse\u0000geometry in non trivial and corresponds to a hyperboloid. In the case of\u0000$d=2n+1$ with even $n$, we find an RBH without a dS core and no inner horizon\u0000(whose presence has been recently debated in the literature due to the question\u0000of whether its presence is unstable or not), and no phase transitions. For\u0000$d>2n+1$ with even $n$, the RBH possesses both an event horizon and a\u0000cosmological horizon and no inner horizon. The existence of the cosmological\u0000horizon arises without the usual requirement of a positive cosmological\u0000constant.

They\u0000form in dense nuclear clusters when a compact object (CO) is captured by the\u0000central massive black holes (MBHs) due to frequent two-body interactions among\u0000orbiting objects. We present a novel Monte Carlo approach to evolve the\u0000post-Newtonian (PN) equations of motion of a CO orbiting an MBH accounting for\u0000two-body relaxation locally on the fly, without the assumption of\u0000orbit-averaging. We estimate the fraction $S(a_0)$ of EMRIs to total captures\u0000(including direct plunges, DPs) as a function of the initial semi-major axis\u0000$a_0$ for COs around MBHs of $M_bulletin[10^4,{rm\u0000M}_odot,4times10^6,{rm M}_odot]$. Previous results indicate\u0000$S(a_0)rightarrow 0$ at large $a_0$, with a sharp transition from EMRIs to DPs\u0000around a critical scale $a_{rm c}$. This notion has been recently challenged\u0000for low-mass MBHs, with EMRIs forming at $agg a_{rm c}$, the so-called\u0000\"cliffhangers''. Our simulations confirm their existence, at larger numbers\u0000than previously expected. Cliffhangers start to appear for\u0000$M_bulletlesssim3times 10^5,{rm M}_odot$ and can account for up to 55% of\u0000the overall EMRIs formed.

We find that the PN description of the system greatly\u0000enhances the number of EMRIs by shifting $a_{rm c}$ to larger values at all\u0000MBH masses, and that the local treatment of relaxation significantly boosts the\u0000number of cliffhangers for small MBHs.
