Parikh and Wilczek have shown that Hawking radiation's spectrum cannot be strictly thermal. Such a nonstrictly thermal character implies that the spectrum is also not strictly continuous and thus generates a natural correspondence between Hawking radiation and black hole's quasinormal modes. This issue endorses the idea that, in an underlying unitary quantum gravity theory, black holes result in highly excited states. We use this key point to re-analyze the spectrum of black hole's quasinormal modes by introducing a black hole's effective temperature. Our analysis changes the physical understanding of such a spectrum and enables a re-examination of various results in the literature which realizes important modifications on quantum physics of black holes. In particular, the formula of the horizon's area quantization and the number of quanta of area are modified into functions of the quantum "overtone" number n. Consequently, Bekenstein–Hawking entropy, its sub-leading corrections and the number of microstates, i.e. quantities which are fundamental to realize unitary quantum gravity theory, are also modified. They become functions of the quantum overtone number too. Previous results in the literature are re-obtained in the very large n limit.

Event horizons of astrophysical black holes and gravitational analogues have been predicted to excite the quantum vacuum and give rise to the emission of quanta, known as Hawking radiation. We experimentally create such a gravitational analogue using ultrashort laser pulse filaments and our measurements demonstrate a spontaneous emission of photons that confirms theoretical predictions.

In this paper, we review some methods that have tried to solve the information loss problem. In particular, we revisit the solution based on Hawking radiation as tunneling and provide a detailed statistical interpretation of the black hole entropy in terms of the quantum tunneling probability of Hawking radiation from the black hole. In addition, we show that black hole evaporation is governed by a time-dependent Schrödinger equation that sends pure states into pure states rather than into mixed states (Hawking had originally established that the final result would be mixed states). This is further confirmation of the fact that black hole evaporation is unitary.

Think of this as the water spinning around the hole before it falls in, getting vaporized by friction. Most black holes are too far away for us to see the accretion disk and jet. The only way to know a black hole is there is by seeing how stars, gas and light behave around it. With a black hole nearby, even objects as big as a star move in a different way, usually faster than they would if the black hole was not there. Since we cannot see black holes, they must be detected by other means. When a black hole passes between us and a source of light, the light bends around the black hole creating a mirror image. This effect is called gravitational lensing.[28][29][30] Hawking radiation Hawking radiation is black body radiation which is emitted by black holes, due to quantum effects near the event horizon. It is named after the physicist Stephen Hawking, who provided a theoretical argument for its existence in 1974.[31] Hawking radiation reduces the mass and the energy of the black hole and is therefore also known as black hole evaporation. This happens because of the virtual particle-antiparticle pairs.

Thus, after enough time has passed, the black hole will evaporate from these negative particles, while seeming to emit positive ones. [2] Hawking radiation reduces the mass and the energy of the black hole and is therefore also known as black hole evaporation. Because of this, black holes that lose more mass than they gain through other means are expected to shrink and ultimately vanish. Hawking radiation is such a small effect that it has never been measured. Micro black holes (MBHs) are predicted to be larger net emitters of radiation than larger black holes (and should thus shrink and dissipate faster), but MBHs have yet to be observed.

As an attempt to complete black hole thermodynamics, Stephen Hawking showed in 1974 that black holes emit thermal radiation. This result has since been vastly disputed, both because it violates the classical notion that black holes are regions of spacetime from which nothing can escape, but also because it leads to a paradox: The thermal radiation which causes the black hole to evaporate contains no information about the black hole. Thus, information appears to be lost – despite the deterministic nature of the physical theories describing the phenomenon. As an attempt to solve this paradox, some researchers have suggested that horizon-formation is avoided in stellar collapse models due to the presence of a so-called pre-Hawking radiation. This proposal is based on claims that Hawking-like radiation also occurs in collapse models where a horizon never forms. It has further been proposed that this radiation may prevent black holes from forming at all. On the other hand, others claim that such a radiation is too weak to play a crucial role in the course of stellar collapse and that its existence leads to serious physical inconsistencies. The question of whether a horizon is needed in order for Hawking radiation to occur therefore seems to be at the very heart of this discussion. This further seems to be closely related to the questions of where and when the Hawking particles are created. Because of the global nature of event horizons these latter concerns are intrinsically diffi

Abstract Charged particle emission from black holes with sufficiently large charge is exponentially suppressed. As a result, such black holes are driven towards extremality by the emission of neutral Hawking radiation. Eventually, an isolated black hole gets close enough to extremality that the gravitational backreaction of a single Hawking photon becomes important, and the quantum field theory in curved spacetime approximation breaks down. To proceed further, we need to use a quantum theory of gravity. We make use of recent progress in our understanding of the quantum-gravitational thermodynamics of near-extremal black holes to compute the corrected spectrum for both neutral and charged Hawking radiation, including the effects of backreaction, as well as greybody factors and metric fluctuations. At low temperatures, large fluctuations in a set of quantum-gravitational (almost) zero modes lead to drastic modifications to neutral particle emission that — in contrast to the semiclassical prediction — ensure the black hole remains subextremal. Relatedly, angular momentum constraints mean that, close enough to extremality, black holes with zero angular momentum can no longer emit individual photons and gravitons; instead, the dominant radiation channel consists of entangled pairs of photons in angular-momentum singlet states. This causes a sudden slowdown in the evaporation rate by a factor of at least 10700. We also compute the effects of backreaction and metric fluctuations on

Abstract In 1974 Steven Hawking showed that black holes emit thermal radiation, which eventually causes them to evaporate. The problem of the fate of information in this process is known as the “black hole information paradox”. Two main types of resolution postulate either a fundamental loss of information in Nature — hence the breakdown of quantum mechanics — or some sort of new physics, e.g. quantum gravity, which guarantee the global preservation of unitarity. Here we explore the second possibility with the help of recent developments in continuous-variable quantum information. Concretely, we employ the solution to the Gaussian quantum marginal problem to show that the thermality of all individual Hawking modes is consistent with a global pure state of the radiation. Surprisingly, we find out that the mods of radiation of an astrophysical black hole are thermal until the very last burst. In contrast, the single-mode thermality of Hawking radiation originating from microscopic black holes, expected to evaporate through several quanta, is not excluded, though there are constraints on modes' frequencies. Our result paves the way towards a systematic study of multi-mode correlations in Hawking radiation.

In supergravity, charged rotating black holes are generically driven towards becoming extremal and supersymmetric through the emission of Hawking radiation. Eventually, as the black hole approaches the BPS bound and is close to becoming supersymmetric, quantum gravity corrections become critical to describing the emission of Hawking radiation, making the QFT in curved spacetime approximation inaccurate. In this paper, we compute how such quantum gravity corrections affect the spectrum of Hawking radiation for black holes in $\mathcal{N}$ = 2 supergravity in flatspace. We show that due to such corrections, the spectrum of emitted Hawking radiation for both spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles deviates drastically at low temperatures from the naively expected black-body spectrum. Rather remarkably, the spectrum exhibits a discrete emission line from direct transitions from near-BPS to BPS states, providing the first controlled example where the discreteness of the black hole energies is visible in the emitted Hawking radiation. Similar quantum gravity effects drastically modify the absorption cross-section: BPS black holes are transparent to certain frequencies, while near-BPS black holes appear much larger than the semi-classical prediction.

Cosmic ray collisions at high center of mass energy could enable graviton and black hole production as expected in theories of low-scale quantum gravity, such as extra-dimensions, many species, or some versions of string theory. Here we propose three novel phenomenological tests of these theories. We first consider the collision of cosmic rays with ambient protons, electrons and photons in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), finding that high-energy neutrino data from the blazar TXS 0506+056 places a constraint on the fundamental scale of gravity of $M_f \gtrsim 0.3$ TeV, and future high-energy neutrino data could raise this bound to $M_f \gtrsim 200$ TeV. We then point out that collisions of pairs of cosmic rays could occur at a sizable rate in AGN where the accelerated cosmic rays are not collimated, or on supermassive black hole binaries. This consideration could potentially let us test unprecedented large fundamental scales of $M_f \gtrsim 2$ PeV. We further compute the corresponding thermal neutrino emission arising from the Hawking evaporation of black holes produced in cosmic ray collisions, finding a spectrum that clearly differs from that expected in meson decays. Finally, we speculate with an scenario which would produce high-energy neutrino and gamma-ray emission from regions in the sky where no multi-wavelength counterparts would be expected, via graviton propagation from a different brane, which then decays in our Universe.

A spherical domain wall around a small black hole is formed by the Hawking radiation from the black hole in the symmetry-broken-phase of the field theory, e.g., the Standard Model (SM) and the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) which have a property of the phase transition. We have obtained two types of the spherical domain wall; (a) thermalized wall which is formed by the local heating up near black hole and symmetry restore locally and (b) dynamical wall which is formed by the balance between the pressure from the Hawking radiation and the pressure from the wall tensions. The electroweak wall is formed as a thermalized wall around a black hole with mass of the several hundred kilogram. The GUT wall is formed as a dynamical wall around much smaller black hole. The electroweak wall around a black hole can produce baryon number by the assumption of the CP-broken phase in the wall. The GUT wall can supply charge into the black hole, namely, the wall causes the spontaneous charging up of the black hole. We propose a cosmological model which can explain the origin of the baryon number and the cold dark matter by the primordial black hole with mass of the several hundred kilogram.

This work aims to maximize the Hawking emission temperature arising in the optical analog model of the event horizon of an astrophysical black hole. A weak probe wave interacts with an intense ultrashort optical pulse via the Kerr effect in a photonic crystal fiber. This interaction causes the probe wave to experience an effective spacetime geometry characterized by the presence of an optical event horizon, where the analogous Hawking radiation effect arises. Here we refer to the simulated or classical version of the analog of Hawking radiation. This study considers four distinct types of photonic crystal fibers with anomalous dispersion curves that allow for maximizing the effect. Our first three numerical simulations indicate that a Hawking emission temperature of up to 361 K can be achieved with a photonic crystal fiber with two zero-dispersion wavelengths, while the emission temperature values in the original investigation are lower than 244 K. And in the fourth, we can see that we have a configuration in which the temperature can be improved up to 1027 K. Moreover, these results also emphasize the feasibility of using analog models to test the quantum effects of gravity, such as Hawking radiation produced by typical black holes, whose magnitude is far below the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (2.7 K).

We explore the tripartite entropic uncertainty and genuine tripartite quantumness of Dirac fields in the background of the Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger (GHS) dilation space-time. It is interesting to note that Hawking radiation leads to the decay of quantum nonlocality in the physically accessible region while preserving its total coherence. More importantly, it demonstrates an intrinsic trade-off relationship between the coherences of physically accessible and inaccessible regions. Moreover, we examine the effect of Hawking radiation on entropy-based measured uncertainty and find that stronger Hawking radiation causes the uncertainty in physically accessible regions to increase while decreasing the uncertainty in physically inaccessible regions. Therefore, our investigations may be beneficial to a better understanding of the system’s quantumness in a curved space-time. Combining relativity theory with quantum information science offers new avenues for comprehending the information paradoxes involving black holes.
