abstract

In the current standard viewpoint small black holes are believed to emit radiation as black bodies at the Hawking temperature, at least until they reach Planck size, after which their fate is open to conjecture. A cogent argument against the existence of remnants is that, since no evident quantum number prevents it, black holes should radiate completely away to photons and other ordinary stable particles and vacuum, like any unstable quantum system. Here we argue the contrary, that the generalized uncertainty principle may prevent their total evaporation in exactly the same way that the uncertainty principle prevents the hydrogen atom from total collapse: the collapse is prevented, not by symmetry, but by dynamics, as a minimum size and mass are approached.

Minimum lifetime of a black hole

gr-qc · 2026-05-05 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A minimum purification time for evaporating black holes is derived as scaling with M0^4/hbar^{3/2}, becoming exponential in initial area under a metastability assumption for Planck-scale holes, implying white-hole remnants.

Dynamical Black Hole Thermodynamics in Modified Gravity

gr-qc · 2026-04-03 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In Modified Gravity, a scalar breathing-mode perturbation yields non-thermal radiation and second-order entropy production, while a running MOG parameter α(M) quenches Hawking radiation into a stable remnant.

Topological Thermodynamics of Generalized Bardeen Black Hole

gr-qc · 2026-05-21 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0 · 2 refs

Generalized Bardeen black holes show two topological defects of opposite winding numbers yielding zero total charge in their thermodynamic vector field, unlike Schwarzschild's single unstable branch, with regularization parameters shaping the phase structure.
