Effective photon mass from black-hole formation

We compute the value of effective photon mass mγ at one-loop level in QED in the background of small (1010 g≲M≪1016 g) spherically symmetric black hole in asymptotically flat spacetime. This effect is associated with the modification of electron/positron propagator in presence of event horizon. Phys...
