Quantum Tunneling of Spin-1 Particles from a 5D Einstein-Yang-Mills-Gauss-Bonnet Black Hole Beyond Semiclassical Approximation

Abstract

In the present paper we study the Hawking radiation as a quantum tunneling effect of spin-$1$ particles from a five-dimensional, spherically symmetric, Einstein-Yang-Mills-Gauss-Bonnet (5D EYMGB) black hole. We solve the Proca equation (PE) by applying the WKB approximation and separation of variables via Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation which results in a set of five differential equations, and reproduces in this way, the Hawking temperature. In the second part of this paper, we extend our results beyond the semiclassical approximation. In particular, we derive the logarithmic correction to the entropy of the 5D EYMGB black hole and show that the quantum corrected specific heat indicates the possible existence of a remnant.
