abstract

We revisit our previous proposed conjecture -- horizon creates a local instability which acts as the source of quantum temperature of black hole. It is found that a chargesless massless particle moving along the null trajectory in Eddington-Finkelstein (EF) coordinates feels instability in the vicinity of the horizon. Such instability is observer independent for this particle motion. Moreover, an observer associated to EF coordinates finds the local Hamiltonian as $xp$ where $p$ is the canonical momentum corresponding the coordinate $x$. Finally, using this Hamiltonian we notice that at the quantum level this class of observers feel the horizon as thermal object with temperature is given by the Hawking expression. We provide this by using various techniques in quantum mechanics and thereby bolstered our earlier claim -- the automatic local instability can be a mechanism for emerging horizon as a thermal object. In this process, the present analysis provides another set of coordinates (namely EF frame), in addition to our earlier Painleve ones, in which the null trajectory of the massless particle is governed by $xp$ type Hamiltonian in near the horizon regime.

  1. Ringdown modulation of acceleration radiation in the Schwarzschild background

    gr-qc 2025-11 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Near a Schwarzschild horizon, a quadrupolar quasinormal ringdown is claimed to modulate the detector detailed-balance exponent by a decaying sinusoid at the QNM frequency, at first order in the perturbation amplitude.

  2. Dynamical analog spacetimes from nonlinear perturbations in a topological material

    gr-qc 2025-07 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A nonlinear acoustic metric and microkelvin Hawking temperature are claimed for Berry-curvature-modified graphene electron flow, but the derivation is incomplete and the temperature has inconsistent units.
