Item Hawking radiation in different coordinate settings: complex paths approach(IOP Publishing, 2002-04-30) Shankaranarayanan, S.; Padmanabhan, T.; Srinivasan, K.We apply the technique of complex paths to obtain Hawking radiation in different coordinate representations of the Schwarzschild spacetime. The coordinate representations we consider do not possess a singularity at the horizon unlike the standard Schwarzschild coordinate. However, the event horizon manifests itself as a singularity in the expression for the semiclassical action. This singularity is regularized by using the method of complex paths and we find that Hawking radiation is recovered in these coordinates indicating the covariance of Hawking radiation as far as these coordinates are concerned.Item Method of complex paths and general covariance of Hawking radiation(World Scientific Publishing Company, 2001-02-05) Shankaranarayanan, S.; Srinivasan, K.; Padmanabhan, T.We apply the technique of complex paths to obtain Hawking radiation in different coordinate representations of the Schwarzschild space{time. The coordinate representations we consider do not possess a singularity at the horizon unlike the standard Schwarzschild coordinate. However, the event horizon manifests itself as a singularity in the expression for the semiclassical action. This singularity is regularized by using the method of complex paths and we find that Hawking radiation is recovered in these coordinates indicating the covariance of Hawking radiation. This also shows that there is no correspondence between the particles detected by the model detector and the particle spectrum obtained by the quantum field theoretic analysis | a result known in other contexts as well.
