Notes on Black Hole Fluctuations and Backreaction

چکیده
In these notes we prepare the ground for a systematic investigation into the issues of black hole fluctuations and backreaction by discussing the formulation of the problem, commenting on possible advantages and shortcomings of existing works, and introducing our own approach via a stochastic semiclassical theory of gravity based on the Einstein-Langevin equation and the fluctuation-dissipation relation for a selfconsistent description of metric fluctuations and dissipative dynamics of the black hole with backreaction from its Hawking radiance. ∗Published in Black Holes, Gravitational Radiation and the Universe: Essays in honor of C. V. Vishveshwara, eds. B. R. Iyer and B. Bhawal (Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, 1999) pp. 103-120

متن کاملBackreaction in acoustic black holes.
The backreaction equations for the linearized quantum fluctuations in an acoustic black hole are given. The solution near the horizon, obtained within a dimensional reduction, indicates that acoustic black holes, unlike Schwarzschild ones, get cooler as they radiate phonons. They show remarkable analogies with near-extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes.
متن کاملBlack Hole Fluctuations and Backreaction in Stochastic Gravity
We present a framework for analyzing black hole backreaction from the point of view of quantum open systems using influence functional formalism. We focus on the model of a black hole described by a radially perturbed quasi-static metric and Hawking radiation by a conformally coupled massless quantum scalar field. It is shown that the closed-time-path (CTP) effective action yields a non-local d...
متن کاملMining Energy from a Black Hole by Strings
We discuss how cosmic strings can be used to mine energy from black holes. A string attached to the black hole gives rise to an additional channel for the energy release. It is demonstrated that when a string crosses the event horizon, its transverse degrees of freedom are thermally excited and thermal string perturbations propagate along the string to infinity. The internal metric induced on t...
متن کاملUniformly Accelerated Charge in a Quantum Field: From Radiation Reaction to Unruh Effect
We present a stochastic theory for the nonequilibrium dynamics of charges moving in a quantum scalar field based on the worldline influence functional and the close-time-path (CTP or in-in) coarse-grained effective action method. We summarize (1) the steps leading to a derivation of a modified AbrahamLorentz-Dirac equation whose solutions describe a causal semiclassical theory free of runaway s...
