Duality Invariance of Black Hole Creation Rates

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

Pair creation of electrically charged black holes and its dual process, pair creation of magnetically charged black holes, are considered. It is shown that the creation rates are equal provided the boundary conditions for the two processes are dual to one another. This conclusion follows from a careful analysis of boundary terms and boundary conditions for the Maxwell action.
