Quantum populations near black-hole singularities

Schwarzschild black-hole interiors border on spacelike singularities representing classical information leaks. We show that local quantum physics is decoupled from these leaks due to dynamically generated boundaries, called Zeno borders. Beyond Zeno borders black-hole interiors become asymptotically silent, and quantum fields evolve freely toward the geodesic singularity with vanishing probability measure for populating the geodesic boundary. Thus Zeno borders represent a probabilistic completion of Schwarzschild black holes within the semiclassical framework.

Automated summary

It is shown that for Schwarzschild black holes, dynamically generated Zeno borders separate local quantum physics from classical information leaks. Beyond these borders, the black-hole interiors become asymptotically silent, with quantum fields evolving freely towards the geodesic singularity, and having vanishing probability measure for populating the geodesic boundary. Zeno borders thus provide a probabilistic completion of Schwarzschild black holes within the semiclassical framework.
