Abstract

Equipped with the tools of (spherically reduced) dilaton gravity in first order formulation and with the results for the lowest order S-matrix for s-wave gravitational scattering (P. Fischer, D. Grumiller, W. Kummer, and D. Vassilevich, gr-qc/0105034) new properties of the ensuing cross-section are discussed. We find CPT invariance, despite of the non-local nature of our effective theory and discover pseudo-self-similarity in its kinematic sector. After presenting the Carter-Penrose diagram for the corresponding virtual black hole geometry we encounter distributional contributions to its Ricci-scalar and a vanishing Einstein-Hilbert action for that configuration. Finally, a comparison is done between our (Minkowskian) virtual black hole and Hawking's (Euclidean) virtual black hole bubbles.
