Title:
Semiclassical evolution of black holes with inner horizons
Time:
10AM Wednesday, 19 March 2025
Location:
Science East E1.19

I will begin by giving an overview of the known instabilities associated with black hole geometries which have an inner apparent horizon, both in classical and semiclassical gravity. Particularly, I will focus on the difference in these instabilities between the cases of eternal black holes and dynamically formed ones. I will then present results on the full non-linear evolution of a dynamically formed charged spherical black hole, including the Polyakov approximation to the renormalised stress-energy tensor of a quantum scalar field as the semiclassical component. The result of this evolution involves the full evaporation of the trapped region, with both an inward motion of the outer horizon and an outward motion of the inner horizon. Additionally, a long-lived anti-trapped region appears in the wake of the evaporation.
