abstract

We consider a massless, minimally-coupled quantum scalar field on a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole background, and we study the leading asymptotic behavior of the expectation value of the stress energy tensor operator $\langle\hat{T}_{\mu\nu}\rangle_{ren}$ and of $\langle\hat{\Phi}^{2}\rangle_{ren}$ near the inner horizon, in both the Unruh and the Hartle-Hawking quantum states. We find that the coefficients of the expected leading-order divergences of these expectation values vanish, indicating that the modifications of the classical geometry due to quantum vacuum effects might be weaker than expected. In addition, we calculate the leading-order divergences of $\langle\hat{T}_{\mu\nu}\rangle_{ren}$ and of $\langle\hat{\Phi}^{2}\rangle_{ren}$ in the Boulware state near the outer (event) horizon, and we obtain analytical expressions that correspond to previous numerical results.

  1. Complete Quantum Stress Tensor Inside a Four Dimensional Schwarzschild Black Hole: A Divergent Focusing Source

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.5 of 10

    Complete interior RSET of a massless scalar in Unruh and Hartle–Hawking states approaches a universal conserved r^{-6} focusing tensor near the Schwarzschild singularity.

  2. The Structure of Quantum Singularities on a Cauchy Horizon

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A QFT construction based on defect operators in the causal complement predicts a universal, index-dependent bound on robust Cauchy horizon singularities, explaining the observed mildness.

  3. Cauchy Horizon (In)Stability of Regular Black Holes

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For regular black holes, the Cauchy horizon mass typically grows exponentially or as a power law; for the asymptotically safe collapse model it grows logarithmically, reaching the horizon without a transient mass-infl...

  4. Inner horizon instability via the trace anomaly effective action

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The anomaly-induced effective action can reproduce the Hartle-Hawking stress-energy divergence at the Cauchy horizon of Reissner-Nordström, but lacks enough freedom to describe the Unruh state.
