Extracting Hawking Radiation Near the Horizon of AdS Black Holes

Abstract

We study how the evaporation rate of spherically symmetric black holes is affected through the extraction of radiation close to the horizon. We adopt a model of extraction that involves a perfectly absorptive screen placed close to the horizon and show that the evaporation rate can be changed depending on how close to the horizon the screen is placed. We apply our results to show that the scrambling time defined by the Hayden-Preskill decoding criterion, which is derived in Pennington's work (arXiv:1905.08255) through entanglement wedge reconstruction is modified. The modifications appear as logarithmic corrections to Pennington's time scale which depend on where the absorptive screen is placed. By fixing the proper distance between the horizon and screen we show that for small AdS black holes the leading order term in the scrambling time is consistent with Pennington's scrambling time. However, for large AdS black holes the leading order Log contains the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a cell of characteristic length equal to the AdS radius rather than the entropy of the full horizon. Furthermore, using the correspondence between the radial null energy condition (NEC) and the holographic c-theorem, we argue that the screen cannot be arbitrarily close to the horizon. This leads to a holographic argument that black hole mining using a screen cannot significantly alter the lifetime of a black hole.
