Hawking radiation and strong gravity black holes

1979, Physics Letters B

We show that the strong grawty theory of Salam et al. places severe restrictions on black hole evaporation. Two major implications are that: mira black holes (down to masses ~ 10-16 kg) would be stable in the present epoch; and that some suggested mini black hole mechamsms to explain certain astrophysical phenomena would not work. The first result Implies that f-gravity appears to make black holes much safer by removing the possibflRy of extremely violent black hole explosions suggested by Hawking.
