Energy Spectrum of equilibrium Black Holes
Year: 2013
Type: preprint
Abstract: Taking cue from the knowledge of the quantum theory of gravity at our disposal in the form of loop quantum gravity, a model Hamiltonian operator for the quantum theory of equilibrium black hole horizons, modeled as isolated horizons, is proposed. Using equilibrium statistical mechanical methods we derive the first law of isolated horizon mechanics. Seeking that the result should be compatible with the one derived from the classical theory, the unknown coefficients and parameters of the Hamiltonian operator are fixed, yielding the energy spectrum of equilibrium black holes.
