On a regular modified Schwarzschild spacetime

Abstract

A modified version of the Schwarzschild geometry is proposed. The source of curvature comes from an anisotropic fluid with $p_{r} = -\rho$ and fluctuating tangential pressures. The event horizon has zero surface gravity but the invariant acceleration of a static observer is finite there. The Tolman - Komar energy of the gravitational fluid changes sign on the horizon, equals the black hole mass at infinity and is vanishing at $r = 0$. There is a nonzero surface stress tensor on the horizon due to a jump of the extrinsic curvature. Near-horizon geometry resembles the Robinson - Bertotti metric and not the Rindler metric which corresponds to the standard Schwarzschild spacetime. The modified metric has no signature flip when the horizon is crossed and all physical parameters are finite throughout the spacetime.
