Title: Hawking radiation as quantum tunneling †Speaker: Takumi Hayashi †Abstract: Hawking radiation is a thermal radiation induced by a black hole, which is predicted by quantum field theory in curved spacetime. There are several attempts to formulate Hawking radiation as quantum tunneling of an emitted particle, which succeed in capturing the feature of it. Since the tunneling method is simpler than the original field theory, there exist important applications to the dynamical black hole providing an insight into information loss paradox. [1] K.
