Abstract
The thermodyamics and quantum properties of black holes in two-dimensional spacetime is investigated. It is demonstrated that the relationships between mass, temperature and entropy of the black hole following from a standard Euclidean analysis agree with those obtained from a quantum field theoretic treatment of vacuum stress-energy. The authors show that such black holes tend to quantize in units of a fundamental mass parameter in order to maximize their entropy. Finally, estimates are made of the back-reaction on the black hole from quantum stress-energy, and a modified form of the model particle detector is used to demonstrate a quantum version of the equivalence principle.Keywords
