Black Hole Horizon Fluctuations

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v2

Abstract

It is generally admitted that gravitational interactions become large at an invariant distance of order 11 from the black hole horizon. We show that due to the ``atmosphere'' of high angular particles near the horizon strong gravitational interactions already occur at an invariant distance of the order of M3\sqrt[3]{M}. The implications of these results for the origin of black hole radiation, the meaning of black hole entropy and the information puzzle are discussed.
