Two-dimensional black holes in accelerated frames: quantum aspects

By considering charged black hole solutions of a one parameter family of two dimensional dilaton gravity theories, one finds the existence of quantum mechanically stable gravitational kinks with a simple mass to charge relation. Unlike their Einsteinian counterpart (i.e. extreme ReissnerNordström), these have nonvanishing horizon surface gravity.

Two-dimensional black holes in accelerated frames: Spacetime structure

Analytical extensions and resulting Penrose diagrams are given for the solutions of a simple 2d dilaton gravity theory describing black holes which are static as viewed by asymptotically accelerated observers.

Quantum emission from two-dimensional black holes.

We investigate Hawking radiation from two-dimensional dilatonic black holes using standard quantization techniques. In the background of a collapsing black hole solution the Bogoliubov coefficients can be exactly determined. In the regime after the black hole has settled down to an ‘equilibrium’ state but before the backreaction becomes important these give the known result of a thermal distrib...

Quantum Aspects of Black Holes

In this thesis we study two quantum aspects of black holes, their entropy and the Hawking effect. First, we present a model for the statistical interpretation of black hole entropy and show that this entropy emerges as a result of missing information about the exact state of the matter from which the black hole was formed. We demonstrate that this idea can be applied to black holes made from bo...
