On the occurrence of mass inflation for the Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar field system with a cosmological constant and an exponential price law (Q1663629): Difference between revisions

In this paper the authors study the spherically symmetric characteristic initial data problem for the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar field system with a positive cosmological constant in the interior of a black hole, assuming an exponential Price law along the event horizon. The authors construct open sets of characteristic data which, on the outgoing initial null hypersurface (taken to be the event horizon), converges exponentially to a reference Reissner-Nordström black hole at infinity. They prove the stability of the radius function at the Cauchy horizon, and show that, depending on the decay rate of the initial data, mass inflation may or may not occur. The authors investigate and find conditions under which mass inflation occurs. In the case when the inflation does not take place, the authors find that the solution can be extended across the Cauchy horizon with continuous metric and Christoffel symbols in \(L^2_{\mathrm{loc}}\), thus violating the Christodoulou-Chrusciel version of strong cosmic censorship. The article is good, well written. Meanwhile I have few observations. First: to make the article readable for a larger circle of researchers there is need to make a connection with well known cosmological inflation. To which namely inflationary scenario can refer the mass inflation you investigate? Starobinsky or Guth-Linde? Second, can a relation with recently discussed in the literature Black Holes with DeSitter interiors (see, e.g. [\textit{I. Dymnikova} and \textit{M. Fil'chenkov}, Adv. High Energy Phys. 2013, Article ID 746894, 13 p. (2013; Zbl 1328.83194)] exist?
