          Abstract

          It is known that the nonstrictly thermal character of the Hawking radiation spectrum harmonizes Hawking radiation with black hole (BH) quasi-normal modes (QNM). This paramount issue has been recently analyzed in the framework of both Schwarzschild BHs (SBH) and Kerr BHs (KBH). In this assignment, we generalize the analysis to the framework of nonextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m BHs (RNBH). Such a generalization is important because in both SBHs and KBHs an absorbed (or emitted) particle has only mass. Instead, in RNBHs the particle has charge as well as mass. In doing so, we expose that for the RNBH, QNMs can be naturally interpreted in terms of quantum levels for both particle emission and absorption. Conjointly, we generalize some concepts concerning the RNBH's "effective states".

          Hawking Radiation as Tunneling

          We present a short and direct derivation of Hawking radiation as a tunneling process, based on particles in a dynamical geometry. The imaginary part of the action for the classically forbidden process is related to the Boltzmann factor for emission at the Hawking temperature. Because the derivation respects conservation laws, the exact spectrum is not precisely thermal. We compare and contrast the problem of spontaneous emission of charged particles from a charged conductor.

            Bohr's Correspondence Principle and The Area Spectrum of Quantum Black Holes

            Shahar Hod (1998)
            During the last twenty-five years evidence has been mounting that a black-hole surface area has a {\it discrete} spectrum. Moreover, it is widely believed that area eigenvalues are {\it uniformally} spaced. There is, however, no general agreement on the {\it spacing} of the levels. In this letter we use Bohr's correspondence principle to provide this missing link. We conclude that the area spacing of a black-hole is \(4\hbar \ln 3\). This is the unique spacing consistent both with the area-entropy {\it thermodynamic} relation for black holes, with Boltzmann-Einstein formula in {\it statistical physics} and with {\it Bohr's correspondence principle}.

              The physical interpretation of the spectrum of black hole quasinormal modes

              When a classical black hole is perturbed, its relaxation is governed by a set of quasinormal modes with complex frequencies \omega= \omega_R+i\omega_I. We show that this behavior is the same as that of a collection of damped harmonic oscillators whose real frequencies are (\omega_R^2+\omega_I^2)^{1/2}, rather than simply \omega_R. Since, for highly excited modes, \omega_I >> \omega_R, this observation changes drastically the physical understanding of the black hole spectrum, and forces a reexamination of various results in the literature. In particular, adapting a derivation by Hod, we find that the area of the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole is quantized in units \Delta A=8\pi\lpl^2, where \lpl is the Planck length (in contrast with the original result \Delta A=4\log(3) \lpl^2). The resulting area quantization does not suffer from a number of difficulties of the original proposal; in particular, it is an intrinsic property of the black hole, independent of the spin of the perturbation.
