The Effect of Sources on the Inner Horizon of Black Holes

Abstract

Single pulse of null dust and colliding null dusts both transform a regular horizon into a space-like singularity in the space of colliding waves. The local isometry between such space-times and black holes extrapolates these results to the realm of black holes. However, inclusion of particular scalar fields instead of null dusts creates null singularities rather than space-like ones on the inner horizons of black holes.
