It is shown that there are large static black holes for which all curvature invariants are small near the event horizon, yet any object which falls in experiences enormous tidal forces outside the horizon. These black holes are charged and near extremality, and exist in a wide class of theories including string theory. The implications for cosmic censorship and the black hole information puzzle are discussed.

  1. Charged, rotating black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory

    gr-qc 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Numerical construction of asymptotically flat charged rotating black holes in EMd theory for arbitrary dilaton coupling gamma, with analysis of parameter space, zero-temperature limits, and hints of non-uniqueness.

  2. Naked and truly naked rotating black holes

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For rotating stationary axisymmetric horizons, the paper derives expansion conditions on the metric that make the horizon regular, naked, or truly naked in a freely falling frame.
