Extremal black holes that are not extremal: maximal warm holes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-02-02 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We study a family of four-dimensional, asymptotically flat, charged black holes that develop (charged) scalar hair as one increases their charge at fixed mass. Surprisingly, the maximum charge for given mass is a nonsingular hairy black hole with nonzero Hawking temperature. The implications for Hawking evaporation are discussed.
