abstract

We discuss the Gupta-Bleuler quantization of the free electromagnetic field outside static black holes in the Boulware vacuum. We use a gauge which reduces to the Feynman gauge in Minkowski spacetime. We also discuss its relation with gauges used previously. Then we apply the low-energy sector of this field theory to investigate some low-energy phenomena. First, we discuss the response rate of a static charge outside the Schwarzschild black hole in four dimensions. Next, motivated by string physics, we compute the absorption cross sections of low-energy plane waves for the Schwarzschild and extreme Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes in arbitrary dimensions higher than three.

Not all black holes decohere quantum superpositions

hep-th · 2026-05-22 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Near-extremal charged black holes make decoherence of charged particle superpositions vanish at late times via a spin-induced energy gap from quantum metric fluctuations.

Scattering of electromagnetic field in quasi-topological gravity

gr-qc · 2026-04-28 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity produce shifted electromagnetic absorption spectra and modified photon sphere radii relative to singular Tangherlini solutions, with deviations suppressed as spacetime dimensions increase.
