Define the ingoing coordinate
Then and
This is the higher-dimensional analogue of Ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates. Its metric and inverse are regular at , including when the zero is degenerate. A gauge transformation removes the singular radial term in the transformed potential, leaving the regular representative . These expressions analytically extend the spacetime through the future outer horizon.
