On the variably-charged black holes in general relativity: Hawking$apos$s radiation and naked singularities (Q3149340)

The author considers spacetimes with metrics of Reissner-Nordström and Kerr-Newman form, but where the electric charge is a function of the radial coordinate, i.e. \(e(r)\). He terms these metrics variably-charged black holes and mathematically studies the change in the mass of the black hole as the electric radiation \(e(r)\) changes. The mass changes are modeled classically using discrete changes \(m_{i}\) of the original total mass \(M\), so after \(n\) times the mass of the black hole is \(M -(m_{1}+m_{2}+\cdots+m_{n})\). This classical mass loss models ``Hawking radiation'' of the black hole. Using this mathematical model and classical mass loss approximation, he is able to make two conclusions which he states as theorems. First, ``Every electrical radiation of a `variably-charged' non-rotating Reissner-Nordström and rotating Kerr-Newman black hole may produce a change in the mass of the bodies without affecting the Maxwell scalar''. Second, ``During the radiation process, after complete evaporation of masses of both `variably-charged' non-rotating Reissner-Nordström and rotating Kerr-Newman black holes, the electric radiation may continue indefinitely creating negative mass naked singularities''. In his words, ``It is shown that every electric radiation \(e(r)\) of the non-rotating black hole leads to a reduction in its mass \(M\) by some quantity. If one considers such electric radiation taking place continuously for a long period of time, then a continuous reduction of the mass may take place in the black-hole body and the original mass of the black hole may be evaporated completely. At this stage, the gravity of the object may depend only on the electromagnetic field, not the mass. Immediately after the complete evaporation of the mass, if the next radiation continues, there may be creation of a new mass leading to the formation of a negative mass naked singularity. It appears that this new mass of the naked singularity would never decrease, but might actually increase as the radiation continues forever. A similar investigation is also discussed in the case of a variably-charged rotating Kerr-Newman black hole''.
