These equations imply a back reaction of the metric on the energy density of the photon gas according to Tolman's equation. The 3-fold of solutions corresponds to a class of physically different solutions which is parameterized by only two quantities, i.e. mass and surface temperature. The energy density is typically concentrated on a shell because the center contains a repelling singularity, which can, however, not be reached by timelike geodesics and only by radial null geodesics. The physical relevance-of these solutions is completely open, although their existence may raise some doubts w.r.t. the stability of black holes. |
