The horizon (the surface) of a black hole is a null surface, defined by those hypothetical outgoing light rays that just hover under the influence of the strong gravity at the surface. Because the light rays are orthogonal to the spatial 2-dimensional surface at one instant of time, the surface of the black hole is the same for all observers (i.e. the same for all coordinate definitions of instant of time). This value is 4*(pi)* (2Gm/c^2)^2 for nonspinning black holes, with G= Newtons constant, c= speed of light, and m= mass of the black hole. The 3-dimensional spatial volume inside a black hole, in contrast, depends explicitly on the definition of time, and can even be time dependent, or zero. We give examples of the volume found inside a standard, nonspinning spherical black hole, for several different standard time-coordinate definitions. Elucidating these results for the volume provides a new pedagogical resource of facts already known in principle to the relativity community, but rarely worked out.

If general relativity is spontaneously induced, the black hole limit is governed by a phase transition which occurs precisely at the would have been horizon. The exterior Schwarzschild solution then connects with a novel core of vanishing spatial volume. The Kruskal structure, admitting the exact Hawking imaginary time periodicity, is recovered, with the conic defect defused at the origin, rather than at the horizon. The entropy stored inside textbf{any} interior sphere is universal, equal to a quarter of its surface area, thus locally saturating the t Hooft-Susskind holographic bound. The associated Komar mass and material energy functions are non-singular.
We study the spectrum of the bound state perturbations in the interior of the Schwarzschild black hole for the scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations. Demanding that the perturbations to be regular at the center of the black hole determines the spectrum of the bound state solutions. We show that our analytic expression for the spectrum is in very good agreement with the imaginary parts of the high overtone quasi normal mode excitations obtained for the exterior region. We also present a simple scheme to calculate the spectrum numerically to good accuracies.
A popular approach in numerical simulations of black hole binaries is to model black holes as punctures in the fabric of spacetime. The location and the properties of the black hole punctures are tracked with apparent horizons, namely outermost marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTSs). As the holes approach each other, a common apparent horizon suddenly appears, engulfing the two black holes and signaling the merger. The evolution of common apparent horizons and their connection with gravitational wave emission have been studied in detail with the framework of dynamical horizons. We present a study of the dynamics of the MOTSs and their punctures in the interior of the final black hole. The study focuses on head-on mergers for various initial separations and mass ratios. We find that MOTSs intersect for most of the parameter space. We show that for those situations in which they do not, it is because of the singularity avoidance property of the moving puncture gauge condition used in the study. Although we are unable to carry out evolutions that last long enough to show the ultimate fate of the punctures, our results suggest that MOTSs always intersect and that at late times their overlap is only partial. As a consequence, the punctures inside the MOTSs, although close enough to each other to act effectively as a single puncture, do not merge.
We numerically investigate the interior of a four-dimensional, asymptotically flat, spherically symmetric charged black hole perturbed by a scalar field $Phi$. Previous study by Marolf and Ori indicated that late infalling observers will encounter an effective shock wave as they approach the left portion of the inner horizon. This shock manifests itself as a sudden change in the values of various fields, within a tremendously short interval of proper time $tau$ of the infalling observers. We confirm this prediction numerically for both test and self-gravitating scalar field perturbations. In both cases we demonstrate the effective shock in the scalar field by exploring $Phi(tau)$ along a family of infalling timelike geodesics. In the self-gravitating case we also demonstrate the shock in the area coordinate $r$ by exploring $r(tau)$. We confirm the theoretical prediction concerning the shock sharpening rate, which is exponential in the time of infall into the black hole. In addition we numerically probe the early stages of shock formation. We also employ a family of null (rather than timelike) ingoing geodesics to probe the shock in $r$. We use a finite-difference numerical code with double-null coordinates combined with a recently developed adaptive gauge method in order to solve the (Einstein + scalar) field equations and to evolve the spacetime (and scalar field) $ - $ from the region outside the black hole down to the vicinity of the Cauchy horizon and the spacelike $r=0$ singularity.
Hawking-Bekenstein entropy formula seems to tell us that no quantum degrees of freedom can reside in the interior of a black hole. We suggest that this is a consequence of the fact that the volume of any interior sphere of finite surface area simply vanishes. Obviously, this is not the case in general relativity. However, we show that such a phenomenon does occur in various gravitational theories which admit a spontaneously induced general relativity. In such theories, due to a phase transition (one parameter family degenerates) which takes place precisely at the would have been horizon, the recovered exterior Schwarzschild solution connects, by means of a self-similar transition profile, with a novel hollow interior exhibiting a vanishing spatial volume and a locally varying Newton constant. This constitutes the so-called hollowgraphy driven holography.
