What kinds of coordinate can keep the Hawking temperature invariant for the static spherically symmetric black hole?
By studying the Hawking radiation of the most general static spherically
symmetric black hole arising from scalar and Dirac particles tunnelling, we
find the Hawking temperature is invariant in the general coordinate
representation (\ref{arbitrary1}), which satisfies two conditions: a) its
radial coordinate transformation is regular at the event horizon; and b) there
is a time-like Killing vector.Comment: 10 page
Fermions Tunnelling from Black Holes
We investigate the tunnelling of spin 1/2 particles through event horizons.
We first apply the tunnelling method to Rindler spacetime and obtain the Unruh
temperature. We then apply fermion tunnelling to a general non-rotating black
hole metric and show that the Hawking temperature is recovered.Comment: 22 pages, v2: added references, v3: fixed minor typos, v4: added a

Exact Hawking Radiation of Scalars, Fermions, and Bosons Using the Tunneling Method Without Back-Reaction
Hawking radiation is studied for arbitrary scalars, fermions, and spin-1
bosons, using a tunneling approach, to every order in but ignoring
back-reaction effects. It is shown that the additional quantum terms yield no
new contribution to the Hawking temperature. Indeed, it is found that the limit
of small in the standard quantum WKB approximation is replaced by the
near-horizon limit in the gravitational WKB approach.Comment: 8 pages, no figures. v3: Introduction updated. Version to appear in

There are no quantum corrections to the Hawking temperature via tunneling from a fixed background
It has recently, and repeatedly, been claimed that higher-order quantum corrections to the Hawking temperature can be calculated in a framework where a free particle tunnels from the event horizon of a fixed black hole background. We highlight a few important issues with these claims to finally conclude that no such higher-order corrections exist. Rather, these illusory corrections stem from a misleading definition of the energy
