Abstract

Hawking radiation is a purely kinematic effect that is generic to Lorentzian geometries containing event horizons; it is independent of dynamics. On the other hand, the classical laws of black hole mechanics and the semiclassical laws of black hole thermodynamics are both inextricably linked with dynamics: Black hole entropy is proportional to area (plus corrections) if and only if the dynamics is Einstein-Hilbert (plus corrections). Hawking radiation can occur in physical situations in which the laws of black hole mechanics do not apply, and in physical situations in which the notion of black hole entropy does not even make any sense. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}

Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black hole with gravitational Chern-Simons term: Thermodynamics and statistical entropy

Journal Article Park, Mu-In - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Recently, the Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole in the presence of the gravitational Chern-Simons term has been studied, and it is found that the usual thermodynamic quantities, like the black hole mass, angular momentum, and entropy, are modified. But, for large values of the gravitational Chern-Simons coupling where the modification terms dominate the original terms some exotic behaviors occur, like the roles of the mass and angular momentum are interchanged and the entropy depends more on the inner horizon area than the outer one. A basic physical problem of this system is that the form of entropy does not guarantee themore »« less

Entropy is conserved in Hawking radiation as tunneling: A revisit of the black hole information loss paradox

Journal Article Baocheng, Zhang ; Graduate University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049 ; Cai Qingyu, E-mail: qycai@wipm.ac.cn ; ... - Annals of Physics (New York)

Research Highlights: > Information is found to be encoded and carried away by Hawking radiations. > Entropy is conserved in Hawking radiation. > We thus conclude no information is lost. > The dynamics of black hole may be unitary. - Abstract: We revisit in detail the paradox of black hole information loss due to Hawking radiation as tunneling. We compute the amount of information encoded in correlations among Hawking radiations for a variety of black holes, including the Schwarzchild black hole, the Reissner-Nordstroem black hole, the Kerr black hole, and the Kerr-Newman black hole. The special case of tunneling throughmore »« less

Branches of the black hole wave function need not contain firewalls

Journal Article Bao, Ning ; Carroll, Sean M. ; Chatwin-Davies, Aidan ; ... - Physical Review D

We discuss the branching structure of the quantum-gravitational wave function that describes the evaporation of a black hole. A global wave function which initially describes a classical Schwarzschild geometry is continually decohered into distinct semiclassical branches by the emission of Hawking radiation. The laws of quantum mechanics dictate that the wave function evolves unitarily, but this unitary evolution is only manifest when considering the global description of the wave function; it is not implemented by time evolution on a single semiclassical branch. Conversely, geometric notions like the position or smoothness of a horizon only make sense on the level ofmore »« less

Subleading contributions to the black hole entropy in the brick wall approach

Journal Article Sarkar, Sudipta ; Shankaranarayanan, S ; Sriramkumar, L ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The brick wall model is a semiclassical approach to understand the microscopic origin of black hole entropy. In this approach, the black hole geometry is assumed to be a fixed classical background on which matter fields propagate, and the entropy of black holes supposedly arises due to the canonical entropy of matter fields outside the black hole event horizon, evaluated at the Hawking temperature. Apart from certain lower dimensional cases, the density of states of the matter fields around black holes cannot be evaluated exactly. As a result, often, in the brick wall model, the density of states and themore »« less

Hawking radiation as tunneling from the Kerr and Kerr-Newman black holes

Journal Article Qingqan, Jiang ; Shuangqing, Wu ; Xu, Cai ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Recent work, which treats the Hawking radiation as a semiclassical tunneling process at the horizon of the Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstroem spacetimes, indicates that the exact radiant spectrum is no longer pure thermal after considering the black hole background as dynamical and the conservation of energy. In this paper, we extend the method to investigate Hawking radiation as massless particles tunneling across the event horizon of the Kerr black hole and that of charged particles from the Kerr-Newman black hole by taking into account the energy conservation, the angular momentum conservation, and the electric charge conservation. Our results show that whenmore »« less
