We present a short and direct derivation of Hawking radiation as a tunneling process, based on particles in a dynamical geometry. The imaginary part of the action for the classically forbidden process is related to the Boltzmann factor for emission at the Hawking temperature. Because the derivation respects conservation laws, the exact spectrum is not precisely thermal. We compare and contrast the problem of spontaneous emission of charged particles from a charged conductor.

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    For even convex polynomially bounded dispersion relations, an effective horizon controls the outgoing modes so that Bogoliubov coefficients agree with the tunneling result and the emission spectrum deviates from exact...

    Bogoliubov coefficients from scattering a scalar in a collapsing EM background (single copy of Vaidya) match ray-tracing results and connect to Hawking radiation through the double copy.
