چکیده
We compute the corrections, using the tunneling formalisim based on a quantum WKB approach, to the Hawking temperature and Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for the Schwarzschild black hole. The results are related to the trace anomaly and are shown to be exactly equivalent to results inferred from Hawking’s original calculation based on path integrals using zeta function regularization. Finally, exploiting the corrected temperature and periodicity arguments we also find the modification to the original Schwarzschild metric which captures the effect of back reaction.

متن کاملConformal Symmetry and Central Charges in 4 Dimensions
The trace anomaly of matter in curved space generates an effective action for the conformal factor of the metric tensor in D = 4 dimensions, analogous to the Polyakov action for D = 2. We compute the contributions of the reparameterization ghosts to the central charges for D = 4, as well as the quantum contribution of the conformal factor itself. The ghost contribution satisfies the necessary W...
متن کاملHawking Radiation due to Photon and Gravitino Tunneling
Applying the Hamilton–Jacobi method we investigate the tunneling of photon and gravitino through an event horizon beyond semiclassical approximation. Quantum corrections of the single particle action for both cases are found to be proportional to the semiclassical contribution. We show the importance of gauge condition for analysing photon tunneling. Modifications of the Hawking temperature and...
متن کاملFractal Geometry of Quantum Spacetime at Large Scales
We compute the intrinsic Hausdorff dimension of spacetime at the infrared fixed point of the quantum conformal factor in 4D gravity. The fractal dimension is defined by the appropriate covariant diffusion equation in four dimensions and is determined by the coefficient of the Gauss-Bonnet term in the trace anomaly to be generally greater than 4. In addition to being testable in simplicial simul...
متن کاملPhysical States of the Quantum Conformal Factor
The conformal factor of the spacetime metric becomes dynamical due to the trace anomaly of matter fields. Its dynamics is described by an effective action which we quantize by canonical methods on the Einstein universeR×S3. We find an infinite tower of discrete states which satisfy the constraints of quantum diffeomorphism invariance. These physical states are in one-to-one correspondence with ...
