The Holographic Interpretation of Hawking Radiation

TL;DR

This paper explores how holography provides a classical five-dimensional perspective on Hawking radiation, translating four-dimensional quantum effects into a geometric framework within braneworld models.

Contribution

It demonstrates that key features of Hawking radiation can be understood through classical five-dimensional descriptions in Randall-Sundrum models, offering a new interpretative approach.

Findings

Holography translates Hawking radiation into classical 5D geometry.

Bulk description captures tunneling particles in black hole horizons.

Provides a dual classical perspective on quantum evaporation processes.

Abstract

Holography gives us a tool to view the Hawking effect from a new, classical perspective. In the context of Randall-Sundrum braneworld models, we show that the basic features of four-dimensional evaporating solutions are nicely translated into classical five-dimensional language. This includes the dual bulk description of particles tunneling through the horizon.
