Low-energy sector quantization of a massless scalar field outside a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole and static sources

Abstract
We quantize the low-energy sector of a massless scalar field in the Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime. This allows the analysis of processes involving soft scalar particles occurring outside charged black holes. In particular, we compute the response of a static scalar source interacting with Hawking radiation using the Unruh (and the Hartle-Hawking) vacuum. This response is compared with the one obtained when the source is uniformly accelerated in the usual vacuum of the Minkowski spacetime with the same proper acceleration. We show that both responses are in general different in opposition to the result obtained when the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is replaced by a Schwarzschild one. The conceptual relevance of this result is commented.
