Green Functions and Thermal Nature of Black-holes
نویسنده
چکیده
There are several ways to establish and study thermal properties of black holes. I review here method of Fulling and Ruijsenaars, based on the analytic structure of Green functions on the complex plane. This method provides a clear distinction between zero and finite temperature field theories, and allows for quick evaluation of black hole temperature.

AdS black holes as reflecting cavities
We use the identification between null singularities of correlators in the bulk with time singularities in the boundary correlators to study the analytic structure of time-dependent thermal Green functions using the eikonal approximation for classical solutions in the AdS black hole background. We show that the location of singularities in complex time can be understood in terms of null rays bo...
متن کاملPath Integrals, Black Holes and Connguration Space Topology
A path integral derivation is given of a thermal propagator in a collapsing black-hole spacetime. The thermal nature of the propagator as seen by an inertial observer far from the black hole is understood in terms of homo-topically non-trivial paths in the connguration space appropriate to tortoise coordinates.
متن کاملNonthermal nature of extremal Kerr black holes
Liberati, Rothman and Sonego have recently showed that objects collapsing into extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes do not behave as thermal objects at any time in their history. In particular, a temperature, and hence thermodynamic entropy, are undefined for them. I demonstrate that the analysis goes through essentially unchanged for bodies collapsing into extremal Kerr black holes. PACS: 0...
متن کاملAn Observational Diagnostic for Ultraluminous X-ray Sources
We consider observational tests for the nature of Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). These must distinguish between thermal–timescale mass transfer on to stellar–mass black holes leading to anisotropic X-ray emission, and accretion on to intermediate–mass black holes. We suggest that long–term transient behavior via the thermal–viscous disk instability could discriminate between these two poss...
متن کاملVacuum States for AdS2 Black Holes
An AdS2 black hole spacetime is an AdS2 spacetime together with a preferred choice of time. The Boulware, Hartle-Hawking and SL(2,R) invariant vacua are constructed, together with their Green functions and stress tensors, for both massive and massless scalars in an AdS2 black hole. The classical Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is found to be independent of the temperature, but at one loop a non-zero...
