Particle production from marginally trapped surfaces of general spacetimes

Abstract

We provide a general formalism that allows to analyze the phenomenon of tunneling in arbitrary spacetimes. We show that a flux of particles produced by tunneling through general marginally trapped surfaces may be perceived by some privileged observers. We discuss how this particle perception can be related to Hawking/Unruh radiation in specific cases. Our approach naturally leads to an expression for the effective surface gravity of marginally trapped surfaces. The procedure is applicable to general astrophysical and cosmological dynamical situations. Some practical examples for known and new cases are provided.

arXiv comment24 pages, 2 figures. Section 4.2, concerning the analysis of the Kerr-Vaidya solution, has been rewritten, correcting mistakes in previous versions. The corrected calculations do support our claims. A corrigendum has also been sent to CQG. New references added. Some of the mistakes in previous versions are actually common and spread in the literature on the Kerr-Vaidya solution
