Unparticle degrees of freedom, no matter how weakly coupled to the standard model particles, must affect the evolution of a black hole, which thermally decays into all available degrees of freedom. We develop a method for calculating the…

Hawking radiation and Bekenstein--Hawking entropy are the two robust predictions of a yet unknown quantum theory of gravity. Any theory which fails to reproduce these predictions is certainly incorrect. While several approaches lead to…
Quantum physics at scales large compared to the Planck scale is described in the framework of classical space-time geometries. A criterion for selecting these backgrounds out of quantized gravity is proposed. It leads to an instability of…
