We study the quantum particle creation in a toy model of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse whose final product is not a black hole but a gravastar. Precedent studies revealed that even in the case of the gravitational collapse to…

As long as we neglect backreaction, the Hawking temperature of a given black hole would not depend upon the parameters of the particle species we are considering. In the semiclassical complex path analysis approach of Hawking radiation,…

Scalar radiation, represented by a massless scalar field in a Robertson-Walker metric, is taken into account. By using a weak non minimum vacuum definition, the radiation temperature as a time dependent function is obtained. When the…

By analytically continuing the time variable in a black hole background, and requiring unitary evolution, it is found that quantum mechanical states at the horizon develop a thermal factor under suitable identification of the physical time.…

We calculate the one loop graviton vacuum polarization induced by a massless, nonminimally coupled scalar field on Minkowski background. We make use of the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, which allows us to study time dependent phenomena. As…

We study light propagation in the picture of semi-classical space-time that emerges in canonical quantum gravity in the loop representation. In such picture, where space-time exhibits a polymer-like structure at microscales, it is natural…

Since the original derivation of Hawking radiation, there have been lots of alternative approaches to show the same fact that black holes emit particles as hot bodies with a temperature. These alternative methods generally rely on different…
