HAWKING RADIATION FOR A PROCA FIELD: THE COUPLED MODES
We report our recent work on computing Hawking radiation of a Proca field in D-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole. Since the mass term introduces a coupling between two physical degrees of freedom of the field, we construct a numerical strategy to solve the coupled system numerically, and define the transmission factor from an S matrix. Then the transmission factors are used to obtain the Hawking fluxes in this channel.
