Scattering amplitudes for self-force

T Adamo, A Cristofoli, A Ilderton… - Classical and Quantum …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
The self-force expansion allows the study of deviations from geodesic motion due to the
emission of radiation and its consequent back-reaction. We investigate this scheme within …

Gravitational pair production and black hole evaporation

MF Wondrak, WD van Suijlekom, H Falcke - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We present a new avenue to black hole evaporation using a heat-kernel approach
analogous as for the Schwinger effect. Applying this method to an uncharged massless …
