Abstract: (Elsevier)
The assumption is made that black holes should be subject to the same rules of quantum mechanics as ordinary elementary particles or composite systems. Although a complete theory for reconciling this requirement with that of general coordinate transformation invariance is not yet in sight, a number of observations can be made and a general framework is suggested.
  • quantum gravity
  • cosmological constant
  • baryon number: violation
  • transformation
  • black hole
