Asymptotic States of Black Holes in KMY Model

Following the work of Kawai, Matsuo, and Yokokura, we study the dynamical collapsing process with spherical symmetry in the time-dependent space-time background including the back reaction of Hawking radiation. We show that in this model there are two classes of asymptotic solutions. One of the two classes is known previously. These states have the slope $\partial a/\partial r$ approximately equal to 1. The other class of asymptotic solutions is that of shells with a small thickness. We emphasize that these thin shells should be properly understood as configurations in the low-energy effective theory. They behave characteristically differently from the singular states of ideal thin shells of zero thickness.

Vacuum Energy at Apparent Horizon in Conventional Model of Black Holes

For a black hole of Schwarzschild radius $a$, we argue that the back-reaction of the vacuum energy-momentum tensor is in general important at the apparent horizon when the time scale of a process is larger than order $a$. In particular, in a double-shell model, we show that the ignorance of the back-reaction leads to a divergence in the outgoing vacuum energy flux. The main result of this paper is that, once the back-reaction is included, the vacuum energy density for observers on top of the trapping horizon in vacuum is given by ${\cal E} \simeq -1/2\ell_p^2 a^2$, which is of the same order of magnitude as the classical matter but opposite in sign. Remarkably, this formula is independent of both the details about the collapsing matter and the vacuum energy-momentum tensor.
