Black holes as self-sustained quantum states, and Hawking radiation
Roberto Casadio, Andrea Giugno, Octavian Micu +1
We employ the recently proposed formalism of the "horizon wave-function" to investigate the emergence of a horizon in models of black holes as Bose-Einstein condensates of graviton…
Quantum Harmonic Black Holes
R. Casadio, A. Orlandi
Inspired by the recent conjecture that black holes are condensates of gravitons, we investigate a simple model for the black hole degrees of freedom that is consistent both from th…
Minimum black hole mass from colliding Gaussian packets
R. Casadio, O. Micu, A. Orlandi
We study the formation of a black hole in the collision of two Gaussian packets. Rather than following their dynamical evolution in details, we assume a horizon forms when the mass…
Brane-world black holes and the scale of gravity
G. L. Alberghi, R. Casadio, O. Micu +1
A particle in four dimensions should behave like a classical black hole if the horizon radius is larger than the Compton wavelength or, equivalently, if its degeneracy (measured by…
