Abstract

We extend our previous work on scalar quantum particle production by moving mirrors in two-dimensional flat space-time to models with asymptotically null trajectories. This proves to have considerable heuristic value in understanding the mechanism of quantum particle emission from black holes. We demonstrate that Hawking’s derivation of that phenomenon using ray-tracing is mathematically identical to the geometrical optics associated with a certain class of mirror trajectory. Investigation of the simpler system clarifies the relation between particles and energy in quantum field theory. A mirror trajectory is presented by which a flux of particles is created, but no energy at all is radiated. We also show that the stimulated emission that occurs when a single particle is incident on the mirror simply corresponds to the classical reflexion of the associated wave, and that the total energy may decrease in this process.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The horizon entropy depends on the gravitational Lagrangian, and for general relativity takes the Bekenstein-Hawking form proportional to area over four h G.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
