The Double-Copy Root of Hawking Thermality
John Joseph M. Carrasco, Yaxi Chen
The Hawking radiation spectrum from a collapsing null shell can be derived via the double copy of a simpler gauge theory calculation. Analyzing the non-abelian Yang-Mills root of t…

Nonperturbative double copy: worldline instantons, color thermality, and backreaction
John Joseph M. Carrasco, Yaxi Chen, Nicolas H. Pavao +1
We present a first-principles, non-perturbative worldline instanton analysis of vacuum decay in the non-abelian Yang-Mills root of a Schwarzschild background. We recover the gauge…
