To see the back reaction of the Hawking radiation in a dynamical spacetime of the spherical gravitational collapse, we explicitly calculate the weak value of the energy-momentum tensor of the massless scalar field. The background geometry of a collapsing dust sphere is specified by using the Painleve-Gullstrand coordinates, in which the time coordinate coincides with the proper time of a free-falling observer and the metric tensor is regular at the event horizon. The result is that in the remote future the weak value diverges at the event horizon. We argue that since the semi-classical approximation of the Einstein equation in the sense of the weak value breaks down there, the future geometry of the spacetime cannot be the Schwarzschild geometry.

The paper
Original abstract
To see the back reaction of the Hawking radiation in a dynamical spacetime of the spherical gravitational collapse, we explicitly calculate the weak value of the energy-momentum tensor of the massless scalar field. The background geometry of a collapsing dust sphere is specified by using the Painleve-Gullstrand coordinates, in which the time coordinate coincides with the proper time of a free-falling observer and the metric tensor is regular at the event horizon. The result is that in the remote future the weak value diverges at the event horizon. We argue that since the semi-classical approximation of the Einstein equation in the sense of the weak value breaks down there, the future geometry of the spacetime cannot be the Schwarzschild geometry.

We use Painlevé-Gullstrand coordinates (as in [ref] , [ref] [ref] ), with a regular future horizon and future region interior to the horizon, but with an incomplete manifold in the past.

Traditionally people in quantum field theory have studied the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor to study the back reaction of the Hawking radiation and found that the incoming energy flux is negative, which is consistent with the decrease of the black hole mass [ref] .
