How the Schwarzschild-de Sitter horizons remain in thermal equilibrium at vastly different temperatures
arXiv:2409.12861 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.110.104065
Abstract
The Tolman-Ehrenfest criterion of thermal equilibrium for a static fluid in a static spacetime is generalized to stationary heat conduction, in the approximation in which backreaction is negligible. Applying this generalized criterion to the Hawking radiation in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter geometry shows that the two horizons (which act as thermostats) remain in thermal equilibrium. The temperature of the radiation fluid interpolates between the temperatures at the horizons, with a static analytic profile that is given explicitly.
