Splitting of an Extremal Reissner-Nordström Throat via Quantum Tunneling

arXiv:hep-th/9202037 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.46.1560

Abstract

The interior near the horizon of an extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole is taken as an initial state for quantum mechanical tunneling. An instanton is presented that connects this state with a final state describing the presence of several horizons. This is interpreted as a WKB description of fluctuations due to the throat splitting into several components.
