Download or read book Modeling Black Hole Evaporation written by Jose Navarro-salas and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2005-01-24 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scope of this book is two-fold: the first part gives a fully detailed and pedagogical presentation of the Hawking effect and its physical implications, and the second discusses the backreaction problem, especially in connection with exactly solvable semiclassical models that describe analytically the black hole evaporation process.The book aims to establish a link between the general relativistic viewpoint on black hole evaporation and the new CFT-type approaches to the subject. The detailed discussion on backreaction effects is also extremely valuable./a
