Abstract

We study the near-horizon charged-scalar instability associated with Schwinger pair production in the charged regular black hole geometry of the zero-point-length T-duality prescription. Using the same effective geometry and regularized gauge potential, we construct the extremal branch, its ${\rm AdS}_2 \times S^2$ near-horizon throat, and the charged-scalar instability threshold for a general form factor. For the explicit T-duality form factor the extremal branch terminates at $r_\mathrm{ext} = \sqrt2 \, l_0$, where the extremal charge and the near-horizon electric field vanish while the ${\rm AdS}_2$ radius remains finite at $\sqrt3 \, l_0$. At this endpoint the exact near-horizon instability parameter is negative. In the semiclassical regime the corresponding charge-to-mass threshold diverges as the endpoint is approached. Thus, for each fixed massive species with finite $q/m$, a sufficiently near-endpoint portion of the extremal branch is free of the local charged-scalar instability. For comparison, the Ayón-Beato-García (ABG) Einstein-nonlinear-electrodynamics solution has a nonvanishing extremal near-horizon electric field. For an additional minimally coupled charged-scalar probe, the corresponding local Schwinger threshold remains finite. Thus the divergent near-endpoint Schwinger barrier found in the T-duality branch is not a generic consequence of regularity.
