Mass Quantization of the Schwarzschild Black Hole
Cenalo Vaz, Louis Witten
We examine the Wheeler-DeWitt equaton for a static, eternal Schwarzschild black hole in Kucha\v r-Brown variables and obtain its energy eigenstates. Consistent solutions vanish in…
Detecting Event Horizons and Stationary Surfaces
Richard G. Gass, F. Paul Esposito, L. C. R. Wijewardhana +1
We have investigated the behavior of three curvature invariants for Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrøm, Kerr, and Kerr-Newman black holes. We have also studied these invariants for…
The Quantum Stress-Tensor in Self-Similar Spherical Dust Collapse
Sukratu Barve, T. P. Singh, Cenalo Vaz +1
We calculate the quantum stress tensor for a massless scalar field in the 2-d self-similar spherical dust collapse model which admits a naked singularity. We find that the outgoing…
On the Spectrum of the Radiation from a Naked Singularitry
Cenalo Vaz, Louis Witten
In the final stages of collapse, quantum radiation due to particle creation from a naked singularity is expected to be significantly different from black hole radiation. In certain…
Particle Creation in the Marginally Bound, Self Similar Collapse of Inhomogeneous Dust
S. Barve, T. P. Singh, Cenalo Vaz +1
We consider the evaporation of the (shell focusing) naked singularity formed during the self-similar collapse of a marginally bound inhomogeneous dust cloud, in the geometric optic…
