Motivated by string theory, we propose that non-local quantum corrections to large extremal black holes must be suppressed by local higher-derivative terms (classical corrections). We show that this condition implies the species bound in all even dimensions, is motivated by Weak Gravity Conjecture, and is necessary for the mild form of the Weak Gravity Conjecture in supersymmetric theories with more than supercharges.
We consider the corrections due to quantum fluctuations of fields on charged black holes induced from the energy-momentum trace anomaly. Although the number of horizons stays unchanged and their positions receive only finite corrections, the geometry, thermodynamics and formation of RN black holes change seriously in particular for small ones. The entropy receives a logarithmic correction. The line $Q=M$, separating naked singularities from physical solutions is corrected, putting a lower limit on the mass and an upper limit on the temperature of the black hole as a function of its charge. The modifications are highly significant in the cases of near-extremal and small black holes. We also show that for black holes with small mass can stay in thermal equilibrium without any constraint on the volume of the container. This result is in contrast to the large black holes that need a finite volume container for thermal equilibrium. The minimum of the mass lower limits occurs at zero charge, resulting in the extremal Schwarzschild black hole with a specific mass of the order of $M_{p}$ and zero temperature. This state which has only gravitational interaction will be the final stage of Hawking radiation. Stability and lack of any interaction but gravitational, makes the extremal Schwarzschild black hole a serious candidate for dark matter particle.
We consider the quantum vacuum effects of the massless scalar fields that are non-minimally coupled to the background geometry of a collapsing homogeneous ball of dust. It is shown that for a definite range of coupling constants, there are repulsive quantum vacuum effects, capable of stopping the collapse process inside the black hole and precluding the formation of singularity. The final fate of the collapse will be a black hole with no singularity, inside which the matter stays balanced. The density of the final static matter will be close to the Planck density. We show that the largest possible radius of the stable static ball inside a black hole with Schwarzschild mass $M$ is given by ${{\left( \frac{1}{90π}\frac{M}{{{m}_{p}}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{3}}}{{\ell }_{p}}$. If the black hole undergoes Hawking radiation, the final state will be an extremal quantum-corrected black hole, with zero temperature, with a remnant of matter inside. We show that the resolution of singularity is not disrupted under Hawking radiation.
We consider the back reaction of the energy due to quantum fluctuation of the background fields considering the trace anomaly for Schwarzschild black hole. It is shown that it will result in modification of the horizon and also formation of an inner horizon. We show that the process of collapse of a thin shell stops before formation of the singularity at a radius slightly smaller than the inner horizon at the order of $(c_{A}\frac{M}{M_p})^{1/3}l_p$. After the collapse stops the reverse process takes place. Thus we demonstrate that without turning on quantum gravity and just through the effects the coupling of field to gravity as trace anomaly of quantum fluctuations the formation of the singularity through collapse is obstructed. An important consequence of our work is existence of an extremal solution with zero temperature and a mass which is lower bound for the Schwazschild solution. This solution is also the asymptotic final stable state after Hawking radiation.
In this paper the question of emission of fermions in the process of dilaton black hole evolution and its characters for different dilaton coupling constants $α$ is studied. The main quantity of interest, the greybody factors are calculated both numerically and in analytical approximation. The dependence of rates of evaporation and behaviour on the dilaton coupling constant is analyzed. Having calculated the greybody factors we are able to address the question of the final fate of the dilaton black hole. For that we also need to make dynamical treatment of the solution by considering the backreaction which will show a crucial effect on the final result. We find a transition line in $(Q/M, α)$ plane that separates the two regimes for the fate of the black hole, decay regime and extremal regime. In the decay regime the black hole completely evaporates, while in the extremal regime the black hole approaches the extremal limit by radiation and becomes stable.
