Q2. What is the effect of the gravitational potential in anti-de Sitter space?
However in anti-de Sitter space the gravitational potential has the effect of reflecting back all particles of non-zero rest mass.
Q3. What is the reason that the Green functions are periodic?
The reason that the Green functions are periodic is that particles pass right around the Einstein cylinder and return to their original positions in space after a time y.
Q4. What is the implication of these results for the canonical ensemble?
The implication of these results for the canonical ensemble is that the lower mass black hole at a given temperature, which has a mass M<M0, is unstable but contributes to the tunneling amplitude for the formation or disappearance of black holes.
Q5. What is the partition function of Z()?
The partition function Z(β) is the Laplace transform of N(E\\Z(β)=\\N{E)e~βEdE. (4.1) oThus N(E) is the inverse Laplace transform1 + ίOON(E)=— j Z{βyEdβ. (4.2) ^ π ^ -ΐooThe contour of integration is taken parallel to the imaginary β axis and to the right of any singularities in Z(β).
Q6. What is the nonconformal mode for the black hole?
The Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter solution has a negative nonconformal mode for small values of M as in the asymptotically flat case.
Q7. What is the metric of the covering space of anti-de Sitter space?
The anti-de Sitter vacuum state for conformally invariant fields is then the state induced from the natural vacuum state in theEinstein universe.
Q8. What is the simplest solution of the classical equations?
The Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter solution is probably the only other nonsingular positive-definite solution of the classical equations that satisfies the periodic boundary conditions.
Q9. What is the way to get a real density of states?
if one uses the micro-canonical ensemble, one has to rotate the contour in the relation between the density of states and the partition function in order to obtain convergence.
Q10. What is the free energy of the black hole?
IfT 0<T<T 1=(πfc)~ 1, (3.10)the free energy of the black hole is positive so this configuration would reduce its free energy if the black hole evaporated completely.
Q11. How can one construct thermal states in anti-de Sitter space?
One can construct thermal states in anti-de Sitter space by periodically identifying the imaginary time coordinate τ with period β = T-1.
Q12. How can one verify the temperature of a black hole?
In the case of conformally invariant particles, one can verify this by taking a thermal state on the Einstein universe and conformally transforming.
Q13. What is the probability of a black hole in the universe?
IfEί<E<E2^m 2 pb, (4.14)the pure radiation and the black hole states will be locally stable but the black hole state will be more probable.
