Conformal Invariance of Black Hole Temperature
Ted Jacobson, Gungwon Kang
It is shown that the surface gravity and temperature of a stationary black hole are invariant under conformal transformations of the metric that are the identity at infinity. More…
Entropy of Lovelock Black Holes
Ted Jacobson, Robert C. Myers
A general formula for the entropy of stationary black holes in Lovelock gravity theories is obtained by integrating the first law of black hole mechanics, which is derived by Hamil…
Black Hole Evaporation in the Presence of a Short Distance Cutoff
Ted Jacobson
A derivation of the Hawking effect is given which avoids reference to field modes above some cutoff frequency in the free-fall frame of the black hole. To avoid ref…
The Initial Value Problem in Light of Ashtekar's Variables
R. Capovilla, J. Dell, T. Jacobson
The form of the initial value constraints in Ashtekar's hamiltonian formulation of general relativity is recalled, and the problem of solving them is compared with that in the trad…
