HAWKING RADIATION FOR SCALAR AND DIRAC FIELDS IN FIVE-DIMENSIONAL DILATONIC BLACK HOLE VIA ANOMALIES

Abstract

We study massive scalar fields and Dirac fields propagating in a five-dimensional dilatonic black hole background. We expose that for both fields the physics can be described by a two-dimensional theory, near the horizon. Then, in this limit, by applying the covariant anomalies method we find the Hawking flux by restoring the gauge invariance and the general coordinate covariance, which coincides with the flux obtained from integrating the Planck distribution for fermions.
