Evaporation and Antievaporation instabilities
We review (anti)evaporation phenomena within the context of quantum gravity
and extended theories of gravity. The (anti)evaporation effect is an
instability of the black hole horizon discovered in many different scenarios:
quantum dilaton-gravity, -gravity, -gravity, string inspired black
holes and brane-world cosmology. Evaporating and antievaporating black holes
seem to have completely different thermodynamical features compared to standard
semiclassical black holes. The purpose of this review is to provide an
introduction to conceptual and technical aspects of (anti)evaporation effects,
while discussing problems that are still open.Comment: Accepted in Symmetry, invited by Prof.S.Odintsov for special issu
