    Revisit emission spectrum and entropy quantum of the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole

    Banerjee and Majhi's recent work shows that black hole's emission spectrum could be fully reproduced in the tunneling picture, where, as an intriguing technique, the Kruskal extension was introduced to connect the left and right modes inside and outside the horizon. Some attempt, as an extension, was focused on producing the Hawking emission spectrum of the (charged) Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole in the Banerjee-Majhi's treatment. Unfortunately, the Kruskal extension in their observation was so badly defined that the ingoing mode was classically forbidden traveling towards the center of black hole, but could quantum tunnel across the horizon with the probability Γ=e−πω0/κ+\Gamma=e^{-\pi \omega_0/\kappa_+}. This tunneling picture is unphysical. With this point as a central motivation, in this paper we first introduce such a suitable Kruskal extension for the (charged) Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole that a perfect tunneling picture can be provided during the charged particle's emission. Then, under the new Kruskal extension, we revisit the Hawking emission spectrum and entropy spectroscopy as tunneling from the charged black hole. The result shows that the tunneling method is so universally robust that the Hawking blackbody emission spectrum from a charged black hole can be well reproduced in the tunneling mechanism, and its induced entropy quantum is a much better approximation for the forthcoming quantum gravity theory.Comment: 7 page

    Boundary expansions and convergence for complex Monge-Ampere equations

    Full text link
    We study boundary expansions of solutions of complex Monge-Ampere equations and discuss the convergence of such expansions. We prove a global conver- gence result under that assumption that the entire boundary is analytic. If a portion of the boundary is assumed to be analytic, the expansions may not converge locally

    Boundary expansions for minimal graphs in the hyperbolic space

    Full text link
    We study expansions near the boundary of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for minimal graphs in the hyperbolic space and characterize the remainders of the expansion by multiple integrals. With such a characterization, we establish optimal asymptotic expansions of solutions with boundary values of finite regularity and demonstrate a slight loss of regularity for nonlocal coefficients

    Topological Imbert-Fedorov shift in Weyl semimetals

    Full text link
    The Goos-H\"anchen (GH) shift and the Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shift are optical phenomena which describe the longitudinal and transverse lateral shifts at the reflection interface, respectively. Here, we report the GH and IF shifts in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) - a promising material harboring low energy Weyl fermions, a massless fermionic cousin of photons. Our results show that GH shift in WSMs is valley-independent which is analogous to that discovered in a 2D relativistic material - graphene. However, the IF shift has never been explored in non-optical systems, and here we show that it is valley-dependent. Furthermore, we find that the IF shift actually originates from the topological effect of the system. Experimentally, the topological IF shift can be utilized to characterize the Weyl semimetals, design valleytronic devices of high efficiency, and measure the Berry curvature
