Effect of the Born–Infeld parameter in higher dimensional Hawking radiation

We show in detail that the Hawking temperature calculated from the surface gravity is in agreement with the result of exact semi-classical radiation spectrum for higher dimensional linear dilaton black holes in various theories. We extend the method derived first by Clément–Fabris–Marques for 4-dimensional linear dilaton black hole solutions to the higher dimensions in theories such as Einstein–Maxwell dilaton, Einstein–Yang–Mills dilaton and Einstein–Yang–Mills–Born–Infeld dilaton. Similar to the Clément–Fabris–Marques results, it is proved that whenever an analytic solution is available to the massless scalar wave equation in the background of higher dimensional massive linear dilaton black holes, an exact computation of the radiation spectrum leads to the Hawking temperature TH$T_H$ in the high frequency regime. The significance of the dimensionality on the value of TH$T_H$ is shown, explicitly. For a chosen dimension, we demonstrate how higher dimensional linear dilaton black holes interpolate between the black hole solutions with Yang–Mills and electromagnetic fields by altering the Born–Infeld parameter in aspect of measurable quantity TH$T_H$. Finally, we explain the reason of, why massless higher dimensional linear dilaton black holes cannot radiate.     

Entropy Conservation of Linear Dilaton Black Holes in Quantum Corrected Hawking Radiation

It has been shown recently that information is lost in the Hawking radiation of the linear dilaton black holes in various theories when applying the tunneling formalism of Parikh and Wilczek without considering quantum gravity effects. In this paper, we recalculate the emission probability by taking into account the log-area correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the statistical correlation between quanta emitted. The crucial role of the quantum gravity effects on the information leakage and black hole remnant is highlighted. The entropy conservation of the linear dilaton black holes is discussed in detail. We also model the remnant as an extreme linear dilaton black hole with a pointlike horizon in order to show that such a remnant cannot radiate and its temperature becomes zero. In summary, we show that the information can also leak out of the linear dilaton black holes together with preserving unitarity in quantum mechanics.     

Hawking Radiation as Tunneling from Garfinkle-Horowitz-Stromingen Dilaton Black Hole

Applying quantum tunneling method, this paper has studied the Hawking radiation of Garfinkle-Horowitz-Stromingen dilaton black hole. In this way, the emission rates of massless particles and massive particles tunneling across the event horizon of black holes is obtained. The result shows that the radiation spectrum of these two different kinds of outgoing particles is related to the change of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, which is no longer precisely thermal.     

Dilaton driven Hawking radiation in AdS2 black hole

A recent study shows that Hawking radiation of a massless scalar field does not appear on the two-dimensional AdS₂ black hole background. We shall study this issue by calculating absorption and reflection coefficients under dilaton coupling with the matter field. If the scalar field does not couple to the dilaton, then it is fully absorbed into the black hole without any outgoing mode. On the other hand, once it couples to the dilaton field, the outgoing mode of the massless scalar field exists, and the nontrivial Hawking radiation appears. Finally, we comment on this dilaton dependence of Hawking radiation in connection with a three-dimensional black hole.     

Greybody factors of charged dilaton black holes in 2 + 1 dimensions

We have studied the scalar perturbation of charged dilaton black holes in 2+1 dimensions. The black hole considered here is a solution to the low-energy string theory in 2+1 dimensions. The exact decay rates and the grey body factors for the massless minimally coupled scalar is computed for both the charged and the uncharged dilaton black holes. The charged and the uncharged black hole show similar behavior for grey body factors, reflection coefficients and decay rates.This revised version was published online in April 2005.

Numerical calculation of the entanglement entropy for scalar field in dilaton spacetimes

Using coupled harmonic oscillators model, we numerical analyze the entanglement entropy of massless scalar field in Gafinkle–Horowitz–Strominger (GHS) dilaton spacetime and Gibbons–Maeda (GM) dilaton spacetime. By numerical fitting, we find that the entanglement entropy of the dilaton black holes receive contribution from dilaton charge and is proportional to the area of the event horizon. It is interesting to note that the results of numerical fitting are coincide with ones obtained by using brick wall method and Euclidean path integral approach.     

Tunneling Radiation of Massive Vector Bosons from Dilaton Black Holes

It is well known that Hawking radiation can be treated as a quantum tunneling process of particles from the event horizon of black hole. In this paper, we attempt to apply the massive vector bosons tunneling method to study the Hawking radiation from the non-rotating and rotating dilaton black holes. Starting with the Proca field equation that govern the dynamics of massive vector bosons, we derive the tunneling probabilities and radiation spectrums of the emitted vector bosons from the static spherical symmetric dilatonic black hole, the rotating Kaluza-Klein black hole, and the rotating Kerr-Sen black hole. Comparing the results with the blackbody spectrum, we satisfactorily reproduce the Hawking temperatures of these dilaton black holes, which are consistent with the previous results in the literature.     

Entropy of the Quantum Electromagnetic Field in Static, Spherically Symmetric Dilaton Black Holes

The quantum correction to the entropy of four-dimensional nonextreme static,spherically symmetric dilaton black holes arising from electromagnetic fields isinvestigated by 't Hooft's brick wall model. The Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger,Gibbons-Maeda, and Garfinkle-Horne dilaton black holes areconsidered. It is shown that the one-loop quantum correction arising from theelectromagnetic fields is exactly twice that due to a massless scalar field. Theresult agrees with that of the Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordström blackholes.     

Scalar field radiation from dilatonic black holes

We study radiation of scalar particles from charged dilaton black holes. The Hamilton–Jacobi method has been used to work out the tunneling probability of outgoing particles from the event horizon of dilaton black holes. For this purpose we use WKB approximation to solve the charged Klein–Gordon equation. The procedure gives Hawking temperature for these black holes as well.     

Geodesic Structure of Static Charged Black Hole Solutions in 2 + 1 Dimensions

Geodesics structure of static charged black holes for dilaton gravity is constructed. In particular, circular and radial geodesics for charged and uncharged test particles are studied. Various possibilities are discussed for range of parameters for the black hole and the test particles. The orbits of the particles with angular momentum are presented.     

Curvature-corrected dilatonic black holes and black hole—string transition

We investigate extremal charged black hole solutions in the four-dimensional string frame Gauss-Bonnet gravity with the Maxwell field and the dilaton. Without curvature corrections, the extremal electrically charged dilatonic black holes have singular horizon and zero Bekenstein entropy. When the Gauss-Bonnet term is switched on, the horizon radius expands to a finite value provided curvature corrections are strong enough. Below a certain threshold value of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling the extremal black hole solutions cease to exist. Since decreasing Gauss-Bonnet coupling corresponds to decreasing string coupling g _s , the situation can tentatively be interpreted as classical indication on the black hole—string transition. Previously the extremal dilaton black holes were studied in the Einstein-frame version of the Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Here we work in the string frame version of the theory with the S-duality symmetric dilaton function as required by the heterotic string theory. The article is published in the original.     

Hawking radiation via tunneling from a <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>-dimensional black hole in Gauss–Bonnet gravity

We extend the Parikh–Wilczek method from Einstein gravity spacetime to Gauss–Bonnet modified gravity and study the tunneling radiation of particles across the event horizon of a d-dimensional Gauss–Bonnet Anti de-Sitter black hole. The emission rate of a particle is calculated. It is shown that the emission rate of massive particles takes the same functional form as that of massless particles although that their motion equations tunneling across the horizon are different. It is also shown that the emission spectrum deviates from the pure thermal spectrum but is consistent with an underlying unitary theory. In addition, significant but interesting phenomenon is demonstrated when Gauss–Bonnet term is present. The expression of the emission rate for a black hole in Gauss–Bonnet gravity differs from that for a black hole in Einstein gravity. After adopting the conventional tunneling rate, we obtain the expression of the entropy of the Gauss–Bonnet black hole, which is in accordance with the early results but does not obey the area law. So the research of tunneling radiation in this paper may serve as a new perspective of understanding the thermodynamics of black holes in Gauss–Bonnet gravity.     

Exact self-gravitating N-body motion in the CGHS model

In the asymptotically flat two-dimensional dilaton gravity, we present an N-body particle action which has a dilaton coupled mass term for the exact solubility. This gives nonperturbative exact solutions for the N-body self-gravitating system, so the infalling particles form a black hole and their trajectories are exactly described. In our two-dimensional case, the critical mass for the formation of black holes does not exist, so even a single particle forms a black hole. The infalling particles give additional time-like singularities in addition to the space-like black hole singularity. However, the latter singularities can be properly cloaked by the future horizons within some conditions.

Dilatons and the dynamical collapse of charged scalar field

We studied the influence of dilaton field on the dynamical collapse of a charged scalar one. Different values of the initial amplitude of dilaton field as well as the altered values of the dilatonic coupling constant were considered. We described structures of spacetimes and properties of black holes emerging from the collapse of electrically charged scalar field in dilaton gravity. Moreover, we provided a meaningful comparison of the collapse in question with the one in Einstein gravity, when dilaton field is absent and its coupling with the scalar field is equal to zero. The course and results of the dynamical collapse process seem to be very sensitive to the amplitude of dilaton field and to the value of the coupling constant in the underlying theory.     

Hawking Radiation of the Charged Particle Via Tunneling from the Reissner-Nordström Black Hole

Since Parikh and Wilczek proposed a semiclassical tunneling method to investigate the Hawking radiation of static and spherically symmetric black holes, the method has been extensively developed to study various black holes. However, in almost all of the subsequent papers, there exists a important shortcoming that the geodesic equation of the massive particle is defined inconsistently with that of the massless particle. In this paper, we propose a new idea to reinvestigate the tunneling radiation from the event horizon of the Reissner-Nordström black hole. In our treatment, by starting from the Lagrangian analysis on the action, we redefine the geodesic equation of the massive and massless particle via tunneling from the event horizon of the Reissner-Nordström black hole, which overcomes the shortcoming mentioned above. The highlight of our work is a new and important development for the Parikh-Wilczek’s semiclassical tunneling method.     

Solution of the dilaton problem in open bosonic string theories

All string theories naively contain a massless dilaton which couples with the strength of gravity in direct violation of experiment. We present a simple mechanism for giving the dilaton a mass In unoriented open bosonic string theories.This essay received an honourable mention from the Gravity Research Foundation, 1990. — Ed.     

Scale invariance,unimodular gravity and dark energy

We demonstrate that the combination of the ideas of unimodular gravity, scale invariance, and the existence of an exactly massless dilaton leads to the evolution of the universe supported by present observations: inflation in the past, followed by the radiation and matter dominated stages and accelerated expansion at present. All mass scales in this type of theories come from one and the same source.     

Black Hole Thermodynamics of Hořava-Lifshitz and IR Modified Ho řava-Lifshitz Gravity Theory

Recently, a renormalizable model of gravity has been proposed by Hoř ava, which might be an ultraviolet completion of general relativity and it reduces to Einstein gravity with a non-vanishing cosmological constant in infrared approximation. Kehagias and Sfetsos have added a relevant operator proportional to the 3D geometry Ricci scalar to the original Hoř ava-Lifshitz theory action, which “softly” deviated from detailed-balance. This does not modify the ultraviolet properties of the theory. However, it modifies the infrared approximation and the Minkowski vacuum can be allowed in the infrared Hořava-Lifshitz gravity theory. The static spherical symmetric black hole solutions have been obtained in the Hořava-Lifshitz and infrared Hořava-Lifshitz gravity theory. Based on the metric of the black holes, Hawking radiation of massless scalar particles is investigated using Damour-Ruffini method. Then the black hole thermodynamics property will also be discussed.
