Supersymmetry as a cosmic censor

TL;DR: It is shown that extreme dilaton black holes, with electric and magnetic charges, admit supercovariantly constant spinors, and it is speculated on the possibility that an extreme black hole may "evaporate" by emitting smaller extreme black holes.

New coordinates for Kerr–Newman black hole radiation

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple coordinate system of Kerr-Newman space-time is introduced, which has several attractive properties: the time direction is a Killing vector, the metric is smooth at the horizons, constant-time slices are just flat Euclidean space in radial and satisfy Landau's condition of clock synchronization.

A primer for black hole quantum physics

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanisms which give rise to the Hawking radiation were revealed by analyzing in detail pair production in the presence of horizons, and special emphasis was put on how each produced particle contributes to the mean albeit arising from a particular vacuum fluctuation.

Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematically rigorous formulation of the quantum theory of a linear field propagating in a globally hyperbolic spacetime is presented via the algebraic approach, which simultaneously admits all states in all possible (unitarily inequivalent) Hilbert space constructions.

Holography and Colliding Gravitational Shock Waves in Asymptotically AdS(5) Spacetime

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of colliding gravitational shock waves in asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS5) spacetime and reported the results of such a calculation, and examined the evolution of the post-collision stress-energy tensor.
