The fate of Schwarzschild–de Sitter black holes in f(R) gravity

Abstract

The semiclassical effects of anti-evaporating black holes can be discussed in the framework of f(R) gravity. In particular, the Bousso–Hawking–Nojiri–Odinstov anti-evaporation instability of degenerate Schwarzschild–de Sitter black holes (the so-called Nariai spacetime) leads to a dynamical increasing of black hole horizon in f(R) gravity. This phenomenon causes the following transition: emitting marginally trapped surfaces (TS) become space-like surfaces before the effective Bekenstein–Hawking emission time. As a consequence, Bousso–Hawking thermal radiation cannot be emitted in an anti-evaporating Nariai black hole. Possible implications in cosmology and black hole physics are also discussed.
