Lorentz violation and Hawking radiation

Abstract

Since the event horizon of a black hole is a surface of infinite redshift, it might be thought that Hawking radiation would be highly sensitive to Lorentz violation at high energies. In fact, the opposite is true for subluminal dispersion. For superluminal dispersion, however, the outgoing black hole modes emanate from the singularity in a state determined by unknown quantum gravity processes.
