Hawking Effect as Quantum Inertial Effect

TL;DR

This paper proposes that Hawking radiation can be understood as a quantum inertial effect arising from intrinsic energy fluctuations, linking black hole thermodynamics and vacuum energy shifts to a broader quantum gravitational framework.

Contribution

It introduces a novel interpretation of Hawking effect as a quantum inertial phenomenon and explores implications for Planck-scale black holes and cosmological constant generation.

Findings

Hawking radiation can be modeled as a quantum inertial effect.

A Planck-scale black hole with horizon diameter of one Planck length is proposed.

Vacuum energy shifts from quantum inertial effects may induce a positive cosmological constant.

Abstract

We show that "particle production" by gravitational field, especially the Hawking effect, may be treated as some quantum inertial effect, with the energy of Hawking radiation as some vacuum energy shift. This quantum inertial effect is mainly resulted from some intrinsical energy fluctuation $\hbar\kappa/c$ for a black hole. In particular, there is an extreme case in which $\hbar\kappa/c$ is the Planck energy, giving a "Planck black hole" whose event horizon's diameter is one Planck length. Moreover, we also provide a possibility to obtain some positive cosmological constant for an expanding universe, which is induced from the vacuum energy shift caused by quantum inertial effect.
