Signature of Non-uniform Area Quantization on Gravitational Waves
arXiv:2108.02444 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.104.084049
Abstract
Quantum aspects of black holes may have observational imprints on their absorption and emission spectrum. In this work, we consider the possibility of non-uniform area quantization and its effects on the phasing of gravitational waveform from coalescing black hole inspirals. These observations may provide detectable effects distinct from that of a uniform area quantization and allow us to put bounds on various parameters of the underlying model. Our work can also be regarded as a novel test for the area-entropy proportionality of black hole solutions in general relativity.
