Exact quantum state of collapse and black hole radiation
Abstract
We construct an exact quantum gravitational state describing the collapse of an inhomogeneous spherical dust cloud using a lattice regularization of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. In the semiclassical approximation around a black hole, this state describes Hawking radiation. We show that the leading quantum gravitational correction to Hawking radiation renders the spectrum nonthermal.
