Trace Anomaly of Dilaton Coupled Scalars in Two Dimensions
read the original abstract
Conformal scalar fields coupled to the dilaton appear naturally in two-dimensional models of black hole evaporation. We calculate their trace anomaly. It follows that an RST-type counterterm appears naturally in the one-loop effective action.

Unveiling horizons in quantum critical collapse
Semiclassical one-loop analysis of solvable near-critical collapse solutions shows quantum corrections selecting a Boulware-like state and producing a growing mode that yields a finite mass gap and a transition to Typ...

The fate of Reissner--Nordstr\"om--de Sitter black holes: nonequilibrium discharge and evaporation
Semiclassical RN-dS evaporation via 2D dilaton gravity and anomaly flux yields monotonic neutral mass loss and rapid discharge, making classical equilibrium loci non-attractors and leading to empty de Sitter space.

The Fate of Nucleated Black Holes in de Sitter Quantum Gravity
Nucleated black holes in de Sitter space evaporate via standard Hawking radiation back to the empty vacuum, rendering nucleation a temporary fluctuation.
