Thermodynamics of effective loop quantum black holes

Abstract

We study the thermodynamics of a non-singular black hole model with effective quantum corrections motivated by Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). The effective geometry has a transition surface that connects trapped and anti-trapped regions with the same mass. There is a minimum mass for which the horizon temperature and Komar energy are zero, and the black hole stops its Hawking evaporation. For horizons above this limit, we present the grey-body factors, emission spectra, and the mass loss rate, solving a one-dimensional Schrdinger-type equation with an effective short-range potential barrier for massless fields of spins 0, 1/2, 1 and 2.
