We discuss the physical interpretation of stress-energy tensors that source static spherically symmetric Kerr-Schild metrics. We find that the sources of such metrics with no curvature singularities or horizons do not simultaneously satisfy the weak and strong energy conditions. Sensible stress-energy tensors usually satisfy both of them. Under most circumstances these sources are not perfect fluids and contain shear stresses. We show that for these systems the classical double copy associates the electric charge density to the Komar energy density. In addition, we demonstrate that the stress-energy tensors are determined by the electric charge density and their conservation equations.

  1. Black Hole Interiors as a Laboratory for Time-Dependent Classical Double Copy

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Trapped black hole interiors admit exact time-dependent classical double copy via Kantowski-Sachs patches from static Kerr-Schild data, characterized by p_parallel = -ρ, with finite single-copy fields in regular solut...

  2. The Smarr Formula is Gauss's Law: A Kerr-Schild Single-Copy Perspective

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The Smarr formula is structurally identical to the single-copy Gauss's law for Kerr-Schild black holes, with the AdS pressure-volume term arising from gauge background subtraction.

  3. Residual Symmetries and Their Algebras in the Kerr-Schild Double Copy

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The Kerr-Schild double copy enlarges residual symmetries at the ansatz level but preserves physical symmetries after cohomological reduction, exposing a mismatch between Yang-Mills and gravity residual symmetry structures.

  4. Hawking Radiation meets the Double Copy

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Bogoliubov coefficients from scattering a scalar in a collapsing EM background (single copy of Vaidya) match ray-tracing results and connect to Hawking radiation through the double copy.

  5. Residual Symmetries and Their Algebras in the Kerr-Schild Double Copy

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The Kerr-Schild double copy does not map residual symmetries between Yang-Mills and gravity; gravitational conformal Killing vectors are shown to be BRST-exact after a Weyl-compensated complex, leaving only global isometries.
