arXiv:hep-th/0409024 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/7/1/203
Abstract
An inexhaustive review of Hawking radiation and black hole thermodynamics is given, focusing especially upon some of the historical aspects as seen from the biased viewpoint of a minor player in the field on and off for the past thirty years.
46 pages, LaTeX, review article solicited for a celebratory Focus Issue on Relativity, ``Spacetime 100 Years Later,'' to be published in New Journal of Physics. A new paragraph was added after Eq. (2), and a new long Section 5 on "Logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy."
