Rindler horizons in a Schwarzschild spacetime

THERMODYNAMICS AND/OF HORIZONS: A COMPARISON OF SCHWARZSCHILD, RINDLER AND deSITTER SPACETIMES

The notions of temperature, entropy and ‘evaporation’, usually associated with spacetimes with horizons, are analyzed using general approach and the following results, applicable to different spacetimes, are obtained at one go. (i) The concept of temperature associated with the horizon is derived in a unified manner and is shown to arise from purely kinematic considerations. (ii) QFT near any h...

Quantum Communication in Rindler Spacetime

A state that an inertial observer in Minkowski space perceives to be the vacuum will appear to an accelerating observer to be a thermal bath of radiation. We study the impact of this Davies-Fulling-Unruh noise on communication, particularly quantum communication from an inertial sender to an accelerating observer and private communication between two inertial observers in the presence of an acc...

Hyperbolic metamaterial interfaces: Hawking radiation from Rindler horizons and spacetime signature transitions

Schwarzschild Spacetime without Coordinates

We discuss how to construct the full Schwarzschild (Kruskal-Szekeres) spacetime in one swoop by using the bundle of orthonormal Lorentz frames and the Einstein equation without the use of coordinates. We never have to write down the Kruskal-Szekeres or an equivalent form of the metric. email: [email protected]

Radiation Fields on Schwarzschild Spacetime

In this paper we define the radiation field for the wave equation on the Schwarzschild black hole spacetime. In this context it has two components: the rescaled restriction of the time derivative of a solution to null infinity and to the event horizon. In the process, we establish some regularity properties of solutions of the wave equation on the spacetime. In particular, we prove that the reg...
