Black-hole interiors and strong cosmic censorship
Abstract
Strong cosmic censorship holds that given suitable initial data on a spacelike hypersurface, the laws of general relativity should determine, completely and uniquely, the future evolution of the spacetime. Here it is argued that while strong cosmic censorship is enforced for all black holes residing in asymptotically flat spacetime, it is violated (within the classical formulation of general relativity) for some black holes residing in non asymptotically flat spacetime. It is suggested that the semi-classical formulation of general relativity might enforce strong cosmic censorship.
