Gravitational Back Reaction of Hawking modes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

The radiation rate of an evaporating black hole is calculated in a toy model in which the geometry outside the collapsing matter is described by a Vaidya metric. When back reaction consistency is imposed, the singularity in the blueshift factor near the horizon is softened, suppressing the evaporation rate in the Schwarzschild case by the fourth power of the external time, thus rendering the hole eternal.

Comments

Misguided discussion of partner propagation removed. Ridiculous claims withdrawn. It's still pretty cool, but now it's just a toy model
