Structure of the black hole nucleus

Poisson, E, Israel, W·1988·Classical and Quantum Gravity

Abstract

Explores different possibilities for the nuclear structure of a black hole formed by a collapse with zero angular momentum. If the stress induced by vacuum polarisation along the axes of the 3-cylinders r=constant is a tension rather than a pressure, the spacetime geometry could be self-regulatory and describable semiclassically down to radii of a few Planck units. The nucleus would then appear as an open string of roughly constant sub-Planckian density, with a thickness of order (h(cross)G 2 M/c 5 ) 1 3/-about 10 -20 cm for a solar-mass black hole.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
