Proposition r = M is a degenerate (i.e. surface gravity _ = 0)

Killing horizon of the Killing vector _eld k = @=@v.

Proof From the previous calculation l = f@=@v so r = M is a Killing

horizon of k, and k _Dk = 0 when r+ = r􀀀 = M.

Since the orbits of k on r = M are a_nely parameterized they must

go to in_nite a_ne parameter in both directions ) internal 1. This

is the same internal 1 that we _nd down the in_nite ER bridge.

Note that k is null on r = 2M, but timelike everywhere else, so region

II has disappeared and region I now leads directly to region V. The

CP diagram is

3.4.1 Nature of Internal 1 in Extreme RN

The asymptotic metric as r ! 1 is Minkowski. To determine the

asymptotic metric as r ! M we introduce the new coordinate _ by

r = M(1 + _) and keep only the leading terms in _, to get

F _ d_ ^ dt (3.51)

of radius M

(3.52)

This is the Robinson-Bertotti metric. It is a kind of `Kaluza-Klein'

vacuum in which two directions are compacti_ed and the `e_ective'

74

spacetime is the two-dimensional `anti-de Sitter' (adS2) spacetime of

constant negative curvature. (See Q.II.7).

3.4.2 Multi Black Hole Solutions

The extreme RN in isotropic coordinates is

ds2 = V 􀀀2dt2 + V 2 􀀀

d_2 + _2d2_

(3.53)

where

V = 1 +

M

_

(3.54)

This is a special case of the multi black hole solution

ds2 = V 􀀀2dt2 + V 2d~x _ d~x (3.55)

where d~x _ d~x is the Euclidean 3-metric and V is any solution of r2V = 0.

In particular,

V = 1 +

XN

i=1

Mi __ _~x 􀀀~_xi

___

(3.56)

yields the metric for N extreme black holes of masses Mi at positions _xi.

Note that the `points' _xi are actually minimal 2-spheres. There are no

_-function singularities at x = _xi because the lines of force continue inde_-

nitely into the asymptotically RB regions (`charge without charge').

Note that a static multi black hole solution is possible only when there is

an exact balance between the gravitational attraction and the electrostatic

repulsion. This occurs only for M = jQj.
