Derivation of Hawking temperature

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Hawking temperature for a black hole (BH) can be derived by compactifying the timelike dimension and identifying the time coordinate of the Euclidean metric as a periodic coordinate τ with period β. In the context of AdS/CFT correspondence, this periodicity can be derived from the Euclideanized AdS Schwarzschild metric, represented as ds²=Vdτ²+V⁻¹dr²+r²dΩ, where V=1-2M/(m²r)+r²/b². The result for AdS4 is β=4πb²r+/(b²+3r²), which can be generalized to higher dimensions. The discussion also highlights the challenges in deriving this result through linearization of the metric element V.

Hi, my first thread. The Hawking temperature for a BH can be derived through compactifying the timelike dimension and hence identifying the time coordinate of the euclidean metric such as a periodic coordinate τ with period β.

Now, very interestingly in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence, it is useful to derive said periodicity from the euclideanised AdS Schwarzschild metric, i.e.

ds^2=Vdτ^(2)+V^(-1)dr^(2)+r^(2)dΩ

where V=1-2M/(m^(2)r)+r^(2)/b^(2).

The result in AdS4 is given by β=4πb^(2)r+/(b^(2)+3r+^(2))
which is easily generalised to higher dimensions.


Anyone knows how to derive the above result from the metric?

I tried to linearise the metric element V, to change to Rindler coordinates and solving for the differential equations, but I only get a "close enough" answer. Perhaps I need a different linearisation of V.

Thanks
