Crudely Estimated Maximum Mass for a Cosmological Black Hole
Don N. Page
-body simulations by M.~Milosavljevic and D.~Merritt \cite{Milosavljevic:2001vi} suggest that for supermassive black hole binaries in their expected nearly circular orbits, befo…
Discrete Orbit Effect Lengthens Merger Times for Inspiraling Binary Black Holes
Don N. Page
The inspiral merger time for two black holes captured into a nonrelativistic bound orbit by gravitational radiation emission has been often calculated by a formula of Peters that a…
Inspiral Time Probability Distribution for Two Black Holes Captured by Emitting Gravitational Radiation
Don N. Page
If two initially unbound black holes of masses M_1 and M_2, total mass M = M_1 + M_2, reduced mass mu = M_1 M_2/(M_1+M_2), and initial relative velocity v << c(4 mu/M) in otherwise…
Linearly Positive Histories: Probabilities for a Robust Family of Sequences of Quantum Events
Sheldon Goldstein, Don N. Page
Nonnegative probabilities that obey the sum rules may be assigned to a much wider family of sets of histories than decohering histories. The resulting {\it linearly positive histor…
No Time Asymmetry from Quantum Mechanics
Don N. Page
With CPT-invariant initial conditions that commute with CPT-invariant final conditions, the respective probabilities (when defined) of a set of histories and its CPT reverse are eq…
Proof of the Generalized Second Law for Quasistationary Semiclassical Black Holes
Valery P. Frolov, Don N. Page
A simple direct explicit proof of the generalized second law of black hole thermodynamics is given for a quasistationary semiclassical black hole.
