Description

We discuss spherically symmetric metrics which represent non-singular black holes in four- and higher-dimensional spacetimes. We first consider static metrics, which obey the following conditions: (i) Regularity at the center and (ii) Validity of the limiting curvature condition. We describe the Hayward model and its generalizations, which obey these properties. After this we discuss quantum radiation of a massless scalar field from an evaporating spherically symmetric non-singular black hole with finite lifetime. We demonstrate that in a general case there exists a huge outburst of the quantum radiation, emitted from the black hole interior from the domains close to the inner horizon. We discuss a relation of this phenomenon with the mass inflation effect. Finally, we shall make remarks on attempts to solve this problem and to provide self-consistency of the non-singular model in the quantum domain.
