Hawking exponential ray map ($U_H-U=A{e}^{-\kappa u}$)

The late outgoing rays from a nonextremal collapsing black hole have an exponential relation between a regular early affine null coordinate $U$ and late retarded time $u$. Logarithmic divergence of the tortoise coordinate at the horizon gives $U_H-U=A{e}^{-\kappa u}$ up to subleading terms. Backward propagation turns $e^{-i\omega u}$ into $(U_H-U{)}^{i\omega /\kappa }$; its positive- and negative-frequency Fourier parts give a thermal Bogoliubov transformation.

For the Hawking exponential ray map, regulated integrals ${\int }_0^{\infty }{x}^{ia}{e}^{-(ϵ\pm i{\omega }^{\prime })x}dx=\Gamma (1+ia)(ϵ\pm i{\omega }^{\prime }{)}^{-1-ia}$ have squared-modulus ratio $e^{-2\pi a}$ as $ϵ\downarrow 0$, where $a=\omega /\kappa$. Combining this with the canonical identities for a bosonic Bogoliubov transformation gives the bosonic occupation $[e^{2\pi \omega /\kappa }-1{]}^{-1}$. Continuum modes require wave-packet normalization to interpret finite particle counts.
