On dispersion relations and the statistical mechanics of Hawking radiation
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the interplay between dispersion relations for the spectrum of Hawking quanta and the statistical mechanics of such a radiation. We first find the general relation between the occupation number density and the energy spectrum of Hawking quanta and then study several cases in details. We show that both the canonical and the microcanonical picture of the evaporation lead to the same linear dispersion relation for relatively large black holes. We also compute the occupation number obtained by instead assuming that the spectrum levels out (and eventually falls to zero) for very large momenta and show that the luminosity of black holes is not appreciably affected by the modified statistics.

Sensitivity of Hawking radiation to superluminal dispersion relations
We analyze the Hawking radiation process due to collapsing configurations in the presence of superluminal modifications of the dispersion relation. With such superluminal dispersion relations, the horizon effectively becomes a frequency-dependent concept. In particular, at every moment of the collapse, there is a critical frequency above which no horizon is experienced. We show that, as a conse...
متن کاملOn the phenomenology of quantum gravity: Stability properties of Hawking radiation in the presence of ultraviolet violation of local Lorentz invariance
EN): In this thesis, we study several features of Hawking radiation in the presence of ultraviolet Lorentz violations. These violations are implemented by a modified dispersion relation that becomes nonlinear at short wavelengths. The motivations of this work arise on the one hand from the developing field of analog gravity, where we aim at measuring the Hawking effect in fluid flows that mimic...

Following the methods developed by Corley and Jacobson, we consider qualitatively the issue of Hawking radiation in the case when the dispersion relation is dictated by quantum κ-Poincaré algebra. This relation corresponds to field equations that are non-local in time, and, depending on the sign of the parameter κ, to sub-or superluminal signal propagation. We also derive the conserved inner pr...
متن کاملOn time evolution of quantum black holes
The time evolution of black holes involves both the canonical equations of quantum gravity and the statistical mechanics of Hawking radiation, neither of which contains a time variable. In order to introduce the time, we apply the semiclassical approximation to the Hamiltonian constraint on the apparent horizon and show that, when the backreaction is included, it suggests the existence of a lon...
متن کاملOn brane-world black holes and short scale physics
There is evidence that trans-Planckian physics does not affect the Hawking radiation in four dimensions and, consequently, deviations from the linear dispersion relation (for massless particles) at very high energies cannot be revealed using four-dimensional black holes. We study this issue in the context of models with extra spatial dimensions and show that small black holes that could be prod...
