Abstract

We carefully study the and limits of the Reissner–Nordström spacetime using Gerochʼs definition of limits of spacetimes. This is implemented by embedding the one-parameter family of spacetimes in anti-de Sitter space, and as a result we obtain metrically correct Penrose diagrams. For two distinct limits are studied.
