 RADIATION FROM FUZZBALLS


   ABSTRACT         

A family of  nonextremal  geometries was constructed by Jejjala et al,
with `capped throats' similar to those found for microstates of  extremal
black hole states. It was shown by Cardosso et al that these geometries
are unstable, and the complex frequency of decay was computed. We show
that the decay energy levels and decay rate are exactly the ones expected
for the `Hawking radiation' from this specific microstate. To do this we start
with the gravity calculation of Hawking radiation. We then go to the dual CFT
computation, where we replace the bose and fermi distributions present in
generic CFT states with the specific `laser like' state excitations corresponding
to this specific geometry. The emission properties from the CFT state then
exactly match the instability found for the classical geometry.
