Vacuum Polarization and Particle Creation for Two-Horizon Metrics

Abstract

Abstract Kerr–Newman and Kottler’s metrics with two horizons are considered. Evaporation of Kerr – Newman’s horizons in Hawking’s effect and Penrose’s process as well as de Sitter’s horizon decay and Schwarzschild’s horizon evaporation for Kottler’s metric have been analyzed in terms of an effective temperature, using lifetimes on the horizons. The results are applied to black hole physics and cosmology.
