It has long been suggested that the Cauchy horizon of dynamical black holes is subject to a weak null singularity, under the mass inflation scenario. We study in spherical symmetry the Einstein–Maxwell–Klein–Gordon equations and while we do not directly show mass inflation , we obtain a “mass inflat...
