A Quasi-local, Functional Analytic Detection Method for Stationary Limit Surfaces of Black Hole Spacetimes

Abstract: We present a functional analytic notion of black hole event horizons that is based on a particular class of roots of the determinantial polynomials of the principal symbols of the Dirac, Klein-Gordon, Maxwell, and Fierz-Pauli Hamiltonians defined on stationary black hole spacetimes. This notion is profoundly different from the usual black hole event horizon concepts, which make use of the geometry and the causal structure of the underlying black hole spacetimes, as it only refers to the effects that black hole event horizons have on the dynamics of the fundamental physical fields. Moreover, we propose an alternative functional analytic account of black hole entropy and argue that our notions can be directly extended to also apply to related types of horizons.
