Black Hole Evaporation along Macroscopic Strings

arXiv:hep-th/9312127 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.50.2680

Abstract

We develop the quantization of a macroscopic string which extends radially from a Schwarzschild black hole. The Hawking process excites a thermal bath of string modes that causes the black hole to lose mass. The resulting typical string configuration is a random walk in the angular coordinates. We show that the energy flux in string excitations is approximately that of spacetime field modes.
