For null coordinates normalized by , the displayed field agrees with exterior Schwarzschild time translation. Its flow rescales and inversely, preserving their product, the radius and . It therefore preserves the extended metric across both horizons. Its squared norm is : it is timelike in both exterior regions, spacelike in the black-hole and white-hole interiors, and nonzero null on the horizons away from the bifurcation two-sphere. At that sphere it vanishes. The zero vector should not be mistaken for a nonzero null generator. This gives an explicit symmetry that survives where the original time coordinate ceases to be regular.
