black holes - Is it possible to have a singularity with zero mass?


A singularity, by the definition I know, is a point in space with infinite of a property such as density.


Density is Mass/Volume.


Since the volume of a singularity is 0, then the density will thus become infinite because Mass/0 = undefined


However, is it possible to have a singularity with a mass of 0? 0/0 is indeterminate, but would it be possible for a singularity to exist even if its mass and volume were zero?
