Spacetime quantization effects on 5-dimensional black string evaporation

Abstract: Spacetime quantization predicts the existence of minimal length and time-interval. Within 5-dimensional Schwarzschild-like black string background, the tunneling of scalar particles, fermions and massive bosons are first studied together in the same generalized uncertainty principle framework. It is found that, the minimal length and time-interval effect weakens the original Hawking radiation. To $\mathcal{O}(\frac{1}{M_f^2})$, the corrected temperatures depend on not only the mass of black string, but also the mass and angular momentum of emitted particles. The temperature correction for massive bosons is four times as big as that for scalar particles and fermions. As a result, the bosons cease to tunnel from the black string before the scalar particles and fermions do. The evaporation remnant is expected in our analysis, however it should be verified by full quantum gravity theory.
