Quantum Black-Hole Radiation / Spectrum  

In General {& V Mukhanov, GE seminar 24.11.1995.} > s.a. quantum black holes [entropy].
* Discrete, equal spacing: (Bekenstein & Mukhanov) A = 4 ln 2, where n is a principal quantum no, of degeneracy = 2 n–1 (from S ln and S = A/4), so M n1/2; Lifetime of a level 3840 –1 M ln2, 1; (Hod) A = 4n/ln3; This kind of spectrum is not consistent with loop quantum gravity.

Evaporating Black Holes > s.a. black-hole radiation.
* Remark: The results from semiclassical gravity are indicative of an important feature of full quantum gravity, and of a deep connection between quantum field theory, quantum gravity and thermodynamics, not yet understood; 1990, In particular, it is not clear whether a horizon will form in full quantum gravity as in the semiclassical theory, and where the radiation comes from physically.
* Spectrum: A line spectrum arises from transition between states, whose envelope is a (truncated) thermal spectrum; Line width E –1 1/30 of the line spacing; The spectrum is truncated because quanta that spend a long time near the horizon feel its quantum fluctuations.
* Rad and cutoffs: Radiation seems not to be present if one puts a "hard" length cutoff, but survives a "soft" one.
