| contents | Motivated by a one-cycle cosmological scenario where the big bang marks the egress from a Euclidean metric signature regime, we investigate the possibility of black holes (BH) hosting the mirroring entryways. Analogous to the inflationary stage following the exit end, the entry portals must be enveloped by de Sitter cores inside BHs, in order to satisfy regularity conditions at the metric signature transition boundary. We examine the interior structure of BHs that could be consistent with such a physical picture, and conclude that the presence of a spacelike shell of non-inflationary matter is likely required. |
