Curing Black Hole Singularities with Local Scale Invariance

Figure 1

The figure shows horizon areas in -gauge (bold line) and in -gauge (dashed line) as a function of coordinate horizon radius , for parameters and . The mass of the BH is gauge-independent, and is a monotonic function of (defined implicitly by ). The exact profile of is gauge-dependent, but the divergence as is a generic feature in all regular gauges.
