Black Hole Spectrum: Continuous or Discrete?
نویسنده
چکیده
We formulate a qualitative argument, based on Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, to support the claim that when the effects of matter fields are assumed to overshadow the effects of quantum mechanics of spacetime, the discrete spectrum of black hole radiation, as such as predicted by Bekenstein’s proposal for a discrete black hole area spectrum, reduces to Hawking’s black-body spectrum. * e-mail address: [email protected]

On the Intrinsic Parity of Black Holes
We investigate the intrinsic parity of black holes. It appears that discrete symmetries require the black hole Hilbert space to be larger than suggested by the usual quantum numbers M (mass), Q (charge) and J (angular momentum). Recent results on black hole production in trans-Planckian scattering lead to gravitational effects which do not decouple from low-energy physics. Dispersion relations ...
متن کامل5 Area Spectrum of Near Extremal Black Branes from Quasi - normal Modes
Motivated by the recent interest in quantization of black hole area spectrum, we consider the area spectrum of near extremal black 3−branes. Based on the proposal by Bekenstein and others that the black hole area spectrum is discrete and equally spaced, we implement Kunstatter's method to derive the area spectrum for the near extremal black 3−branes. The result for the area of event horizon alt...
متن کاملQuasinormal Modes, Reduced Phase Space and Area Spectrum of Black Holes
Motivated by the recent interest in quantization of black hole area spectrum, we consider the area spectrum of Schwarzschild, BTZ, extremal Reissner-Nordström, near extremal Schwarzschild-de Sitter, and Kerr black holes. Based on the proposal by Bekenstein and others that the black hole area spectrum is discrete and equally spaced, we implement Kunstatter's method to derive the area spectrum fo...
متن کاملThe Case for Discrete Energy Levels of a Black Hole
The adiabatic invariant nature of black hole horizon area in classical gravity suggests that in quantum theory the corresponding operator has a discrete spectrum. I here develop further an algebraic approach to black hole quantization which starts from very elementary assumptions, and proceeds by exploiting symmetry. It predicts a uniformly spaced area spectrum for all charges and angular momen...
متن کاملMatrix Models for the Black Hole Information Paradox
We study various matrix models with a charge-charge interaction as toy models of the gauge dual of the AdS black hole. These models show a continuous spectrum and power-law decay of correlators at late time and infinite N , implying information loss in this limit. At finite N , the spectrum is discrete and correlators have recurrences, so there is no information loss. We study these models by a...
