Conformal scattering and the Goursat problem for Dirac fields in the interior of charged spherically symmetric black holes

Abstract

In this paper, we construct a conformal scattering theory for Dirac fields in the interior of a Reissner–Nordström-like black hole, between the black hole event horizon and the Cauchy horizon. The main result is a resolution of the characteristic Cauchy problem for the Dirac equation on the horizons by solving a system of wave equations and re-interpreting its solution as the components of the required Dirac solution.
