Kinematics of evaporating black holes
  The correspondence principle and causality divide the spacetime of a macroscopic collapsing mass into three regions: classical, semiclassical, and ultraviolet. The semiclassical region covers the entire evolution of the black hole from the macroscopic to the microscopic scale if the latter is reached. It is shown that the metric in the semiclassical region is expressed purely kinematically through the Bondi charges. The only quantum calculation needed is the one of radiation at infinity. The ultraviolet ignorance of semiclassical theory is irrelevant. The metric with arbitrary Bondi charges is obtained and studied.
