Abstract.

In this paper, using Hamilton-Jacobi ansatz, we investigate scalar particle tunneling radiation in the Demianski-Newman spacetime. We get the effective temperature with influences of quantum gravity and compare this temperature with the original temperature of the Demianski-Newman black hole. We find that it is similar to the case of fermions; for scalar particles, the influence of quantum gravity will also slow down the increase of Hawking temperatures, which naturally leads to remnants left in the evaporation.

1. Introduction

Hawking proposed that there exists radiation in black holes. The study of the black hole radiation is one of the important directions of black hole physics. WKB approximation is usually used to calculate the tunneling rate of emitted particles [1].

The closed path above goes across the horizon and comes back. Related discussion about the tunneling rate of emitted particles is discussed in detail in [2–4].

The null geodesic method can be used to calculate the imaginary part of emitted particle action. It was used in the work of Parikh and Wilczek [5]. In this method, the Painleve coordinate transformation should be performed. The main characteristics of these coordinates are that they are stationary and nonsingular around the horizon. So one can obtain the imaginary part by canonical momenta and Hamilton canonical equations. The other method which can be used to calculate the imaginary part of emitted particles’ action is the Hamilton-Jacobi Ansatz [6] which was first proposed in [7, 8]. In this method, the action of the system accords with the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Taking into account the property of the spacetime, one can make a separation of variables on the action . Then, inserting the results into the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, one can acquire the imaginary part. Many researchers extend this work to the tunneling radiation of fermions. The standard Hawking temperatures of the spherically symmetric and charged black holes were discussed in [9]. Other work about fermions’ tunneling radiation is discussed in [10–18]. Reference [19] discussed a correction to the tunneling probability by taking into account the back reaction effect. In Ref. [20], features regarding the variation of the Hawking temperature, entropy, and tunneling rate were revealed, including corrections due to noncommutativity and back reaction. References [21, 22] discussed the quantum tunneling beyond semiclassical approximation and trace anomaly by the Hamilton-Jacobi method. Reference [23] discussed the Hawking radiation due to photon and gravitino tunneling. Topics related to the entropy-area spectrum of a black hole were discussed in Ref. [24–26]. Other important advances are discussed in [27–30].

Taking into account the theory of quantum gravity, there exists a minimal observable length [31–35]. Then, there is the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP)

where , is a dimensionless parameter, and is the Planck length. The derivation of the GUP is based on the modified fundamental commutation relations. Kempf et al. first modified commutation relations [36] and got , where and are operators of position and momentum defined by

and here, and satisfy the basic quantum mechanics commutation relations .

With consideration of the GUP, the cosmological constant problem was discussed, and the finiteness of the constant was derived in [37]. Based on the new form of GUP, the Unruh effect has been discussed in [38]. The quantum dynamics of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe was derived in [39]. Some predictions on postinflation preheating in cosmology were made in [40]. Based on the generalization, the thermodynamics of the black holes were discussed again in [41–43] .

When effects of quantum gravity are taken into account, we investigated fermions’ tunneling from the charged and rotating black strings [44]. We found that quantum gravity corrections slow down the increases of the temperatures, which naturally leads to remnants left in the evaporation. In [45], we discussed the tunneling of fermions when effects of quantum gravity are taken into account. We investigated two cases, black string and Kerr AdS black hole. We found that for black string, the uncharged and unrotating case, the correction of Hawking temperature is only affected by the mass of emitted fermions and the quantum gravitational corrections slow down the increases of the temperature, which naturally leads to remnants left in the evaporation, too. For another case, the Kerr AdS black hole, we found that the quantum gravitational corrections are not only determined by the mass of the emitted fermions but also affected by the rotating properties of the AdS black hole. So with consideration of the quantum gravity corrections, an offset around the standard temperature always exists.

In this paper, we do not discuss fermions but focus on scalar particle tunneling radiation in the Demianski-Newman spacetime with influences of quantum gravity. The Demianski-Newman black hole is similar to Kerr-Newman black hole. It is an extension of the Kerr-Newman black hole [46]. Its expression of metric is more complex than the Kerr-Newman black hole, so the calculation of rate of tunneling radiation is not easy relatively. Using the Hamilton-Jacobi ansatz, we investigate scalar particle tunneling radiation in the Demianski-Newman spacetime. With consideration of quantum gravity, we get the effective temperature and compare this temperature with the original temperature of the Demianski-Newman black hole. We find that it is similar to the case of fermions; for scalar particles, the quantum gravity effects also slow down the increase of Hawking temperatures.

The rest is organized as follows. In the next section, based on the modified commutation relations of operators of position and momentum defined in [36], we will derive the generalized Klein-Gordon equation in curved spacetime. In Section 3, we investigate scalar particle tunneling radiation in the Demianski-Newman black hole. Section 4 is devoted to our conclusion.

2. Generalized Klein-Gordon Equation in Curved Spacetime

In this section, to account for the effects from quantum gravity, we first write the minimal length which is generalized uncertainty principle as

then we investigate the Klein-Gordon equation in curved spacetime with the effects of GUP. We adopt the position representation and take the effect of quantum gravity into consideration; the momentum operators are written as

Because is a small quantity, so we neglect the high orders of and get the square of momentum operators

To take into account effects of quantum gravity, generalize the frequency as

where the energy operator takes the form of . According to the energy-mass shell condition: , the modified expression of energy can be written as

So we get the expression of the Klein-Gordon equation in the curved spacetime

To take into account the effects of quantum gravity, the above equation takes the form

According to the above expression and keeping the foremost order of , the generalized Klein-Gordon equation is rewritten as

3. Scalar Particle Tunneling Radiation in the Demianski-Newman Black Hole

In this section, we research the tunneling radiation of scalar particles in the Demianski-Newman black hole by using the above generalized Klein-Gordon equation. The metric is given by [46]

where

Here reprents the angular momentum per unit mass and represents the black hole mass. Parameter in Demianski-Newman metric is an extended parameter relative to the Kerr-Newman black hole (when , the Demianski-Newman black hole reduces to the Kerr-Newman black hole), it is related to rotation effect, and it can generate potential field. Reference [46] inferred that it may be some charge concerning spin. Black holes have inner and outer horizon; we only consider the outer horizon: . The entropy of the black hole is defined as . Because the black hole rotates, it is not easy to research the particle tunneling directly, so we take the above metric dragging transformation as follows:

where

Then, we get

To solve the generalized Klein-Gordon equation, we suppose that the wave function of the scalar particle takes the form

In the wave function, represents the action of the scalar particle. Inserting the wave function into the generalized Klein-Gordon equation and the metric in Demianski-Newman black hole, considering the WKB approximation, keeping the leading order of and , and neglecting the higher orders of them, we get

To get the solution of the above equation directly is not easy. In order to take separation of variables easily, we consider the form of the action of the scalar particle as follows:

where represents the energy of the emitted particle. We insert the above expression of action into the generalized Klein-Gordon equation by using separation of variables; then, we get

where

Then, we can get the action of radial direction as follows:

In the above equation, +/− represents outward/interior solution, respectively, where

The expression of is pretty complicated, so we do not write it here. Then, with WKB approximation, the tunneling rate of the scalar particle can be written as

According to the expression of the Boltzmann factor, we can get the corrected Demianski-Newman temperature as

where the original temperature of the Demianski-Newman black hole is

4. Discussion and Conclusions

In this paper, we discuss scalar particle tunneling radiation in the Demianski-Newman spacetime with the effects of quantum gravity. According to the effective Demianski-Newman temperature, apparently, we can conclude that the corrected Demianski-Newman temperature is lower than the original temperature of the Demianski-Newman black hole. Because is a small quantity, it is similar to the case of fermions; for scalar particles, the influence of quantum gravity will also slow down the evaporation of the Demianski-Newman black hole, so when the black hole is at the balance point, there are remnants in the black hole.
