Pair production by a collapsing body as a quantum-geometry effect
The process of black-hole production in gravitational collapse, accompanied by production of pairs from vacuum, is described as a quantum transition of space-time geometry from one quasistationary state into another. It is shown that the mass of the produced black hole is finite and depends on the spectrum of the collapsing matter.
