Reflection from black holes and space-time topology
arXiv:gr-qc/0310134 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2003-10113-4
Abstract
The quantum corrections make the black hole capable of reflection: any particle that approaches the event horizon can bounce back in the outside world. The albedo of the black hole depends on its temperature. The reflection shares physical origins with the phenomenon of Hawking radiation; both effects are explained as consequences of the singular nature that the event horizon exhibits on the quantum level.
