In this work we obtain a numerical self-consistent spherical solution of the semiclassical Einstein equations representing the evaporation of a trapped region which initially has both an outer and an inner horizon. The classical matter source used is a static electromagnetic field, allowing for an approximately Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole as the initial configuration, where the charge sets the initial scale of the inner horizon. The semiclassical contribution is that of a quantum scalar field in the "in" vacuum state of gravitational collapse, as encoded by the renormalised stress-energy tensor in the spherical Polyakov approximation. We analyse the rate of shrinking of the trapped region, both from Hawking evaporation of the outer apparent horizon, as well as from an outward motion of the inner horizon. We also observe that a long-lived anti-trapped region forms below the inner horizon and slowly expands outward. A black-to-white-hole transition is thus obtained from purely semiclassical dynamics.

  1. Semiclassical regularity of compact trapped regions: From dynamical horizons to inner extremality

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    In finite-lifetime dynamical geometries the in-vacuum RSET stays finite at the inner horizon, growing exponentially for non-extremal cases but only as a power law for inner-extremal ones.

  2. Regular Vaidya solutions of effective gravitational theories

    gr-qc 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Regular Vaidya solutions exist in effective gravitational theories that dynamically describe radiation-driven formation of regular black holes or mimickers without curvature singularities.

  3. Taming the Aretakis instability: extremal black holes with multi-degenerate horizons

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Black holes with infinitely degenerate horizons are proposed to be stable against Aretakis instability, potentially serving as end states.

  4. Radiating black holes in general relativity need not be singular

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    A spherically symmetric charged black hole evaporating via Hawking radiation can remain regular, with neither a singularity nor a Cauchy horizon, due to electromagnetic repulsion and energy-condition violation.
