Abstract

We study the issue of temperature in a steady system around a black hole event horizon, contrasting it with the appearance of divergence in a thermal equilibrium system. We focus on a spherically symmetric system governed by general relativity, particularly examining the steady state with radial heat conduction. Employing an appropriate approximation, we derive exact solutions that illuminate the behaviors of number density, local temperature, and heat in the proximity of a black hole. We demonstrate that a carefully regulated heat inflow can maintain finite local temperatures at the black hole event horizon, even without considering the back-reaction of matter. This discovery challenges conventional expectations that the local temperature near the event horizon diverges in scenarios of thermal equilibrium. This implications shows that there's an intricate connection between heat and gravity in the realm of black hole thermodynamics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
