Does black hole radiance break supersymmetry ?

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

Arguments presented in an earlier paper, demonstrating the breakdown of global supersymmetry in Hawking radiation from a generic four dimensional black hole with infalling massless scalar and spinor particles, are reexamined. Careful handling of the Grassmann-valued spinorial parameter is shown to lead to a situation wherein supersymmetry may not actually break. A comparative analysis in flat spacetime at a finite temperature, is also presented.
