Tunnelling Effect and Hawking Radiation from a Vaidya Black Hole

We extend Parikh＇s study to the non-stationary black hole. As an example of the non-stationary black hole, we investigate the tunnelling effect and Hawking radiation from a Vaidya black hole whose Bondi mass is identical to its mass parameter. The Hawking radiation is considered as a tunnelling process across the event horizon and we calculate the tunnelling probability. It is found that the is the function of Bondi mass re（υ）. result is different from Parikh＇s study because dr H/dυ     

Taub–NUT black holes in third order Lovelock gravity

We consider the existence of Taub–NUT solutions in third order Lovelock gravity with cosmological constant, and obtain the general form of these solutions in eight dimensions. We find that, as in the case of Gauss–Bonnet gravity and in contrast with the Taub–NUT solutions of Einstein gravity, the metric function depends on the specific form of the base factors on which one constructs the circle fibration. Thus, one may say that the independence of the NUT solutions on the geometry of the base space is not a robust feature of all generally covariant theories of gravity and is peculiar to Einstein gravity. We find that when Einstein gravity admits non-extremal NUT solutions with no curvature singularity at r=N$r=N$, then there exists a non-extremal NUT solution in third order Lovelock gravity. In 8-dimensional spacetime, this happens when the metric of the base space is chosen to be CP³${\mathbb{CP}}^3$. Indeed, third order Lovelock gravity does not admit non-extreme NUT solutions with any other base space. This is another property which is peculiar to Einstein gravity. We also find that the third order Lovelock gravity admits extremal NUT solution when the base space is T²×T²×T²$T^2\times T^2\times T^2$ or S²×T²×T²$S^2\times T^2\times T^2$. We have extended these observations to two conjectures about the existence of NUT solutions in Lovelock gravity in any even-dimensional spacetime.     

Hawking temperature of Kerr–Newman–AdS black hole from tunneling

Using the null-geodesic tunneling method of Parikh and Wilczek, we derive the Hawking temperature of a general four-dimensional rotating black hole. In order to eliminate the motion of ? degree of freedom of a tunneling particle, we have chosen a reference system that is co-rotating with the black hole horizon. Then we give the explicit result for the Hawking temperature of the Kerr–Newman–AdS black hole from the tunneling approach.     

Tunnelling Effect of Massive Particles from Kerr Black Holes

In this paper, we extend Parikh’s (massless particles) and Zhang’ work to massive particles’ Kerr black hole tunnelling. By treating the massive particle as de Broglie wave, we calculate the emission rates of the particles across the event horizon of the Kerr black holes. Our result is successful and is in agreement with the form of the massless particles.     

Holes: Theoretical prediction or fantasy?

This paper argues that black holes are not a strict consequence of general relativity.     

Brick Wall Model and the Spectrum of a Schwarzschild Black Hole

The quantum entropy of a scalar field near a Schwarzschild black hole is investigated by employing the brick-wall model in the grand canonical ensemble. A positive chemical potential is introduced if the cutoff is set to be of order of the Planck length. We also discuss the relation between the chemical potential and the mass quantum of the black hole.     

Hawking radiation of linear dilaton black holes

We compute exactly the semi-classical radiation spectrum for a class of non-asymptotically flat charged dilaton black holes, the so-called linear dilaton black holes. In the high frequency regime, the temperature for these black holes generically agrees with the surface gravity result. In the special case where the black hole is massless, we show that, although the surface gravity remains finite, there is no radiation, in agreement with the fact that massless objects cannot radiate.     

Black hole quantum tunnelling and black hole entropy correction

The Parikh–Wilczek tunnelling framework, which treats Hawking radiation as a tunnelling process, is investigated once more in this work. The first order correction, the log-corrected entropy-area relation, emerges naturally in the tunnelling picture if we consider the emission of a spherical shell. The second order correction to the emission rate for the Schwarzschild black hole is also calculated. At this level, the entropy of the black hole will contain three parts: the usual Bekenstein–Hawking entropy, a logarithmic term and an inverse area term. We find that the coefficient of the logarithmic term is −1. Thus, apart from a coefficient, our correction to the black hole entropy is consistent with that calculated in loop quantum gravity.     

Black hole entropy,log correction and inverse area correction

In this Letter, we first extend the Parikh–Wilczek tunneling framework to a general spherically symmetric black hole, and calculate the tunneling rate of the emission particles to the second order accuracy. Then, by assuming the emission process satisfies an underlying unitary theory, we correct the entropy of a general spherically symmetric black hole. We find that the log correction and the inverse area correction to the entropy is also suitable for a general spherically symmetric black hole.     

Thermodynamics of warped AdS3 black hole in the brick wall method

The statistical entropy of a scalar field on the warped AdS₃ black hole in the cosmological topologically massive gravity is calculated based on the brick-wall method, which is different from the Wald's entropy formula giving the modified area law due to the higher-derivative corrections in that the entropy still satisfies the area law. It means that the entropy for scalar excitations on this background is independent of higher-order derivative terms or the conventional brick wall method has some limitations to take into account the higher-derivative terms.     

Charged particle's tunneling from a dilaton black hole

Hawking radiation viewed as a semi-classical tunneling process of charged particles from the event horizon of the Garfinkle–Horne dilaton black hole is investigated by taking into account not only energy conservation but also electric charge conservation. Our results show that when the effect of the emitted massive charged particle's self-gravitation is incorporated, the tunneling rate is related to the change of the black hole's Bekenstein–Hawking entropy and the emission spectrum deviates from the purely thermal spectrum.     

Entropy of an extremal regular black hole

We introduce a magnetically charged extremal regular black hole in the coupled system of Einstein gravity and nonlinear electrodynamics. Its near horizon geometry is given by AdS₂×S²${\mathit{AdS}}_2\times S^2$. It turns out that the entropy function approach does not automatically lead to a correct entropy of the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy. This contrasts to the case of the extremal Reissner–Norström black hole in the Einstein–Maxwell theory. We conclude that the entropy function approach does not work for a magnetically charged extremal regular black hole without singularity, because of the nonlinearity of the entropy function.     

Quasinormal Spectrum and Quantization of the Kerr--Newman Black Hole

The intermediate asymptotic quasinormal mode spectrum of the charged scalar and Dirac fields in the near extremal Kerr-Newman black hole is studied analytically, It is found that the quasinormal mode spectrum can be expressed in terms of the Hawking temperature Thb, the electric potential Ф＋ and the horizon＇s angular velocity ΩH for the case of （eФ_ ＋ mΩH） 〉 （1 - 4πThb）Re（ω） （where e is the charge and m is the azimuthal projection number）, whereas it is only relevant to the charge and the mass parameter for another case. It is also shown that by using the Bohr＇s correspondence principle, the fundamental change in the black-hole surface area induced by the emission of a rotating charged quantum from the Kerr-Newman black hole is in accord with the Bekenstein-Mukhanov general prediction.     

Black hole remnants due to GUP or quantum gravity?

Based on the micro-black hole gedanken experiment as well as on general considerations of quantum mechanics and gravity the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) is analyzed by using the running Newton constant. The result is used to decide between the GUP and quantum gravitational effects as a possible mechanism leading to the black hole remnants of about Planck mass.     

Scalar field dynamics in warped AdS3 black hole background

We study the normal modes of a scalar field in the background of a warped AdS₃ black hole which arises in topologically massive gravity. We discuss the normal mode spectrum using the brick wall boundary condition. In addition, we investigate the possibility of a more general boundary condition for the scalar field.     

Top quark production from black holes at the CERN LHC

LHC is expected to be a top quark factory. If the fundamental Planck scale is near a TeV, then we also expect the top quarks to be produced from black holes via Hawking radiation. In this Letter we calculate the cross sections for top quark production from black holes at the LHC and compare it with the direct top quark cross section via parton fusion processes at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We find that the top quark production from black holes can be larger or smaller than the pQCD predictions at NNLO depending upon the Planck mass and black hole mass. Hence the observation of very high rates for massive particle production (top quarks, Higgs or supersymmetry) at the LHC may be an useful signature for black hole production.     

Gravitating discs around a Schwarzschild black hole II

A sequence of exact spacetimes is obtained describing the fields of a Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by stable static axisymmetric thin discs having their inner rim at the least possible radius. In the previous paper we only required stability with respect to perturbations in the disc plane, while it turns out that for discs with relative mass >0.23 the perturbations in perpendicular direction are more dangerous. The discs of the resulting sequence have their inner rims just on, or very close to, circular geodesics marginally stable with respect to either of the perturbations. Redshift from static and Keplerian observers in the disc is computed. The inverted first Morgan-Morgan counter-rotating disc, used in superpositions, has a number of satisfactory physical properties, but it has turned out to have a curvature singularity at the inner rim. However, this is only a consequence of a too steep radial start of density, not present in (inverted) “higher” Morgan-Morgan solutions.

A New Method to Study Hawking Radiation of Charged Particle from Stationary Axisymmetric Sen Black Hole

Taking the self-gravitation interaction and energy conservation,charge conservation and angular momentum conservation into accpunt, we discuss the tunnelling characteristics of the charged particle from Sen black hole by the Hamilton-Jacobi method. The result shows that the tunnelling probability is related to the change of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, and the actual radiation spectrum deviates from the pure thermal one, which is consistent with the result of Parikh and Wilczek and gives a new method to correct the Hawking pure thermal spectrum of Sen black hole.     

Will black holes eventually engulf the Universe?

The Babichev–Dokuchaev–Eroshenko model for the accretion of dark energy onto black holes has been extended to deal with black holes with non-static metrics. The possibility that for an asymptotic observer a black hole with large mass will rapidly increase and eventually engulf the Universe at a finite time in the future has been studied by using reasonable values for astronomical parameters. It is concluded that such a phenomenon is forbidden for all black holes in quintessential cosmological models.
