The stress-energy appears to be regular on the event horizon, contrary to the suggestion provided by two-dimensional calculations. An analytic calculation on the event horizon for a thermal state shows that if the temperature is nonzero then the stress-energy diverges strongly there.10 pages, REVTeX, 4 figures in separate uuencoded compressed fileGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - TheorySemiclassical Stability of the Extreme Reissner-Nordstrom Black Holetext
