Virtual Black Holes and the S-matrix
نویسنده
چکیده
A brief review on virtual black holes is presented, with special emphasis on phe-nomenologically relevant issues like their influence on scattering or on the specific heat of (real) black holes. Regarding theoretical topics results important for (avoidance of) information loss are summarized.

One would expect spacetime to have a foam-like structure on the Planck scale with a very high topology. If spacetime is simply connected (which is assumed in this paper), the non-trivial homology occurs in dimension two, and spacetime can be regarded as being essentially the topological sum of S 2 × S 2 and K3 bubbles. Comparison with the instantons for pair creation of black holes shows that t...
متن کاملVirtual Black Holes in Generalized Dilaton Theories
The virtual black hole phenomenon, which has been observed previously in specific models, is established for generic 2D dilaton gravity theories with scalar matter. The ensuing effective line element can become asymptotically flat only for two classes of models, among them spherically reduced theories and the string inspired dilaton black hole (CGHS model). We present simple expressions for the...

متن کاملSome Aspects of Virtual Black Holes
In this paper we analyze certain aspects of virtual black holes. We see how quantum bubble is the representative of creation and annihilation of a pair of virtual black holes that satisfy the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. We calculate the loss of quantum coherence due to these virtual black holes and also see how these virtual black holes give space-time an intrinsic entropy.
متن کاملMatrix Theory Description of Schwarzschild Black Holes in the Regime N ≫
We study the description of Schwarzschild black holes, of entropy S, within matrix theory in the regime N > ∼ S ≫ 1. We obtain the most general matrix theory equation of state by requiring that black holes admit a description within this theory. It has a recognisable form in various cases. In some cases a D dimensional black hole can plausibly be thought of as a D̃ = D + 1 dimensional black hole...
