Quantum test fields obeying the Klein?Gordon, Dirac and Maxwell equations are used to probe the classical timelike naked sin- gularity developed at r = 0. We prove that the spatial derivative operator of the fields fails to be essentially self-adjoint. As a result, the classical timelike naked singularity remains quantum mechanically singular when it is probed with quantum fields having different spin structures.enAttribution-NonCommercial 3.0 United Statesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBlack Hole SolutionNaked SingularityMaxwell FieldDeficiency IndexQuantum SingularityArticle13Q11
