Singularities in Reissner–Nordström black holes

Curiel, Erik (19. December 2019): Singularities in Reissner–Nordström black holes. In: Classical and Quantum Gravity, Vol. 37, No. 2

Abstract

We study black holes produced via collapse of a spherically symmetric charged scalar field in asymptotically flat space. We employ a late time expansion and argue that decaying fluxes of radiation through the event horizon imply that the black hole must contain a null singularity on the Cauchy horizon and a central spacelike singularity.
