On the Quantum Levels of Isolated Spherically Symmetric Gravitational Systems
arXiv:gr-qc/9605038 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(96)00846-5
Abstract
The known canonical quantum theory of a spherically symmetric pure (Schwarzschild) gravitational system describes isolated black holes by plane waves exp(-iMc^2τ/\hbar) with respect to their continuous masses M and the proper time τof obsevers at spatial infinity. On the other hand Bekenstein and Mukhanov postulated discrete mass levels for such black holes in the spirit of the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantisation in atomic physics. The two approaches can be related by postulating periodic boundary conditions in time for the plane waves and by identifying the period Δin real time with the period Δ_H= 8πGM/c^3 in Euclidean time. This yields the mass spectrum M_n=(1/2)\sqrt{n}m_P, n=1,2,... .
