argumentA line of reasoning from premises to a conclusion. Like a claim, it belongs to no one who makes it.constitution →

Semiclassical Hawking emission

forThis argument, if it holds, bears in favour of the claim.constitution →Brane-localized black holes in warped compactifications evaporate rather than remaining stable

The argument

Because quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts thermal radiation from black hole horizons, and because the near-horizon physics of a brane-localized black hole is standard, such a black hole should lose mass through Hawking emission into the matter fields confined to the brane as well as into bulk gravitons, and therefore evaporates rather than persisting.

Does it work?

Not yet evaluated.

Premises

VerifiedThe evidence, examined directly, establishes the claim.constitution →Quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts thermal radiation from black hole event horizons.

The inference goes through: if horizons radiate thermally, a brane-localized black hole with standard near-horizon physics loses mass into brane fields and bulk gravitons, and an isolated one cannot persist indefinitely. The argument rests almost entirely on the prediction of thermal radiation from horizons in quantum field theory on curved spacetime, which, though not yet assessed here, is among the most secure results of semiclassical gravity. The only opening for doubt is the rate, since emission into a strongly coupled sector can be far slower than free-field estimates, but slowness does not amount to stability.
