Inner structure of a charged black hole: An exact mass-inflation solution
Abstract
Recently, Poisson and Israel have shown how, when an electrically charged black hole is perturbed, its inner horizon becomes a singularity of infinite spacetime curvature---the mass-inflation singularity. In this paper we construct an exact mass-inflation solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations, and use it to analyze the mass-inflation singularity. We find that this singularity is weak enough that its tidal gravitational forces do not necessarily destroy physical objects which attempt to cross it. The possible continuation of the spacetime through this weak singularity is discussed.

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.
