The Delocalized Effective Degrees of Freedom of a Black Hole at Low Frequencies

Kol, Barak

Understand

Identifying the fundamental degrees of freedom of a black hole poses a long-standing puzzle.

  • In hep-th/0511133 Goldberger and Rothstein forwarded a theory of the low frequency degrees of freedom within the effective field theory approach, where they are relevancy-ordered but of unclear physical origin.
  • Here these degrees of freedom are identified with near-horizon but non-compact gravitational perturbations which are decomposed into delocalized multipoles.
  • Their world-line (kinetic) action is determined within the classical effective field theory (CLEFT) approach and their interactions are discussed.
