Vacuum Fluctuations of Black Hole Radiance
نویسنده
چکیده
The emergence of Hawking radiation from vacuum fluctuations is analyzed in conventional field theories and their energy content is defined through the Aharonov weak value concept. These fluctuations travel in flat space-time and carry trans-planckian energies sharply localized on cisplanckian distances. We argue that these ⋆ 1 features cannot accommodate gravitational nonlinearities. We suggest that the very emission of Hawking photons from tamed vacuum fluctuations requires the existence of an exploding set of massive fields. These considerations corroborate some conjectures of Susskind and may prove relevant for the back-reaction problem and for the unitarity issue.

متن کاملEnhanced Geometry Fluctuations in Minkowski and Black Hole Spacetimes
We will discuss selected physical effects of spacetime geometry fluctuations, especially the operational signatures of geometry fluctuations and their effects on black hole horizons. The operational signatures which we discuss involve the effects of the fluctuations on images, and include luminosity variations, spectral line broadening and angular blurring. Our main interest will be in black ho...
متن کاملEvaporating black holes and long range scaling
For an effective treatment of the evaporation process of a large black hole the problem concerning the role played by the fluctuations of the (vacuum) stress tensor close to the horizon is addressed. We present arguments which establish a principal relationship between the outwards fluctuations of the stress tensor close to the horizon and quantities describing the onset of the evaporation proc...
متن کاملEntanglement and Thermodynamics of Black Hole Entropy
Using simple conditions drawn from the stability of the cosmos in terms of vacuum energy density, the cut-off momentum of entanglement is related to the planckian mass. In so doing the black hole entropy is shown to be independent of the number of field species that contribute to vacuum fluctuations. And this is in spite of the fact that the number of field species is a linear multiplicand of t...
