Tunneling radiation and quantum entropy of a massive gravity black hole

Abstract

By using the Parikh-Wilczek (PW) quantum tunneling method, the Hawking radiation of black holes in massive gravity is investigated, the emission rate of particles and the black hole entropy are calculated. It is shown that the emission spectrum is not purely thermal, depends on the increment of the black hole entropy, consists with an accurate unitary theory and supports the standpoint of information conservation. Unlike other modified gravities, the entropy of the massive gravity black hole unexpectedly conforms to the area law just as that of Einstein gravity black hole.
