This Letter aims at showing that the observation of evaporating black holes should allow the usual Hawking behavior to be distinguished from loop quantum gravity (LQG) expectations. We present a full Monte Carlo simulation of the evaporation in LQG and statistical tests that discriminate between competing models. We conclude that contrarily to what was commonly thought, the discreteness of the area in LQG leads to characteristic features that qualify evaporating black holes as objects that could reveal quantum gravity footprints.
这封信旨在表明，对蒸发黑洞的观测应该能够区分通常的霍金行为和圈量子引力（LQG）的预期。我们对 LQG 中的蒸发进行了全面的蒙特卡罗模拟，并进行了统计检验，以区分竞争模型。我们的结论是，与普遍认为的相反，LQG 中面积的离散性导致了一些特征，这些特征使得蒸发黑洞成为能够揭示量子引力足迹的物体。
