Investigate the interior geometry and quantum mechanical behavior during the final stages of classical gravitational collapse leading to Schwarzschild black holes.
Modeled the disappearance of the inner horizon and the interior transition termed Minkowski breaking following the formation of integrable curvature singularities.
Applied a semiclassical approximation for the energy–momentum tensor alongside the Madelung hydrodynamic approximation to track collapsing matter dynamics via the Raychaudhuri equation.
Demonstrated that a quantum potential term in the Raychaudhuri equation generates a strong repulsive effect opposing collapse toward the central Schwarzschild singularity.
Showed that this quantum mechanical opposition initiates specifically after the Minkowski breaking interior transition occurs.
