Determining the inner structure of a black hole is really an evolutionary problem, with precisely known initial data. The evolution can in principle be followed to within Planck distances of the singularity at the inner horizon, using only well-established physical laws. This article is a progress report and a review of open questions.

The area law of Bekenstein–Hawking entropy of the black hole suggests that the black hole should have a lower-dimensional holographic description. It has been found recently that a large class of rotating and charged black holes could be holographically described a two-dimensional (2D) conformal field theory (CFT). We show that the universal information of the dual CFT, including the central charges and the temperatures, is fully encoded in the thermodynamics laws of both outer and inner horizons. These laws, characterizing how the black hole responds under the perturbation, allows us to read different dual pictures with respect to different kinds of perturbations. The remarkable effectiveness of this thermodynamics method suggest that the inner horizon could play a key role in the study of holographic description of the black hole.

Abstract We develop a new test that provides a necessary condition for a quantum state to be smooth in the vicinity of a null surface: “near-horizon modes” that can be defined locally near any patch of the null surface must be correctly entangled with each other and with their counterparts across the surface. This test is considerably simpler to implement than a full computation of the renormalized stress-energy tensor. We apply this test to Reissner-Nordström black holes in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space and provide numerical evidence that the inner horizon of such black holes is singular in the Hartle-Hawking state. We then consider BTZ black holes, where we show that our criterion for smoothness is satisfied as one approaches the inner horizon from outside. This results from a remarkable conspiracy between the properties of mode-functions outside the outer horizon and between the inner and outer horizon. Moreover, we consider the extension of spacetime across the inner horizon of BTZ black holes and show that it is possible to define modes behind the inner horizon that are correctly entangled with modes in front of the inner horizon. Although this provides additional suggestions for the failure of strong cosmic censorship, we lay out several puzzles that must be resolved before concluding that the inner horizon will be traversable.
