I Kerr & Nordström Black Hole Evaporation: Q&A

[snorkack]

When a Kerr black hole evaporates, what will the Kerr parameter do?
Stay constant at initial value?
Approach zero?
Approach unity?
Approach a target value somewhere between zero and unity?

Also, Nordström black holes in practice (with matter around) would have a strong tendency to attract charged plasma. But in perfect vacuum? How strong would the leak current out of a Nordström black hole be? Quantum mechanics suggests a tail of tunnelling in strong electric fields. At which charge would a Nordström black hole be evaporating at constant q/m, if the dependence of q on m is that simple? And does the mathematics of Nordström black hole expressly depend on electron rest mass?

the Kerr parameter

What do you mean by the Kerr parameter?

 

[snorkack]

What do you mean by the Kerr parameter?

The expression
Jc/GM²
where J is angular momentum, c speed of light, G gravitational constant and M the mass of the hole.
It is bound to be between zero (it is Schwarzschild hole) and unity for any black hole.
How does it evolve on Hawking radiation?

If you search "Hawking evaporation Kerr BH" you find a good number of reputably published papers discussing this. At the moment, I don't have time to quick read them to try to choose the most informative.
