The interior of charged black holes and the problem of uniqueness in general relativity. (English) Zbl 1071.83037

The author establishes some results similar to those obtained in M. Dafermos, ”Stability and instability of the Cauchy horizon for the spherically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell-scalar field equations” [Ann. Math. (2) 158, No. 3, 875–928 (2003; Zbl 1055.83002)]. The results are established for data satisfying a weak form of the conjectured Price law decay. The main results are presented in theorems 1.1, 1.2 whose formulations are quite technical. One shows that the heuristic mass inflation scenario put forth by Israel and Poisson is mathematically correct in the context of the considered initial value problem. The maximal future development has a future boundary over which the space-time is extendible as a \(C^0\) metric but along which the Hawking mass blows up identically (hence the space-time is inextendible as a \(C^1\) metric).
