Abstract

We present a proof of the existence of the Hawking radiation for massive bosons in the Schwarzchild-de Sitter metric. It provides estimates for the rates of decay of the initial quantum state to the Hawking thermal state. The arguments in the proof include a construction of radiation fields by conformal scattering theory; a semiclassical interpretation of the blueshift effect; and the use of a WKB parametrix near the surface of a collapsing star. The proof does not rely on the spherical symmetry of the spacetime.
