Quantum State of Black-Holes Out of Equilibrium

Abstract

We study the properties of black-holes (BHs) that are out of equilibrium about the Hartle-Hawking (HH) vacuum state. We show how gravitational perturbations excite the vacuum state, thus making it a superposition of states, which eventually leads to additional excitations. We examine the vacuum state structure in the presence of time-dependent gravitational perturbation. As a result, we determine the vacuum state evolution and calculate the semi-classical modifications to the particle occupation number of the emitted particles. We demonstrate that the quantum emission in BHs that are far away from equilibrium is comparable and even larger than the Hawking radiation.
