Enhanced Black Hole Horizon Fluctuations
R. T. Thompson, L. H. Ford
We discuss the possible role of quantum horizon fluctuations on black hole radiance, especially whether they can invalidate Hawking's analysis based upon transplanckian modes. We a…
Enhanced Geometry Fluctuations in Minkowski and Black Hole Spacetimes
R. T. Thompson, L. H. Ford
We will discuss selected physical effects of spacetime geometry fluctuations, especially the operational signatures of geometry fluctuations and their effects on black hole horizon…
Quantum Stress Tensor Fluctuations and their Physical Effects
L. H. Ford, Chun-Hsien Wu
We summarize several aspects of recent work on quantum stress tensor fluctuations and their role in driving fluctuations of the gravitational field. The role of correlations and an…
Averaged null energy condition in spacetimes with boundaries
Christopher J. Fewster, Ken D. Olum, Michael J. Pfenning
The Averaged Null Energy Condition (ANEC) requires that the average along a complete null geodesic of the projection of the stress-energy tensor onto the geodesic tangent vector ca…
The Classical Singularity Theorems and their Quantum Loopholes
L. H. Ford
The singularity theorems of classical general relativity are briefly reviewed. The extent to which their conclusions might still apply when quantum theory is taken into account is…
