The Heuristic Approach to General Relativity in the Laplace-Beltrami Formalism
Noah M. MacKay
The Laplace-Beltrami formalism, in which the Ricci tensor in the Einstein field equations (EFEs) is formulated at leading-order in terms of the partial-differential Laplace-Beltram…
The Statistical Mechanics of Hawking Radiation
Noah M. MacKay
Hawking radiation and black hole thermodynamics are well understood in the frameworks of quantum field theory and general relativity, with contemporary extensions in string theory,…
A Holographic, Hydrodynamic Model of a Schwarzschild Black Hole
Noah M. MacKay
Schwarzschild (non-rotating and chargeless) black holes are classically understood to be voids of extreme gravitation. In this study, we propose a holographic model for their inter…
The Stochastic Mechanics of Hawking Radiation
Noah M. MacKay
In Ref. arXiv:2502.08816, Hawking radiation was analyzed through a statistical mechanics framework, revealing a structured microstate description of black hole horizons and informa…
