Gerald Dennis Mahan (November 24, 1937 – November 21, 2021) was an American condensed matter physicist, with specific research interests in transport and optical properties of materials, and solid-state devices.
Today this is known as Hawking radiation. Bekenstein's doctoral adviser, John Archibald Wheeler, also worked with him to develop the no-hair theorem, a reference to Wheeler's saying that "black holes have no hair," in the early 1970s. [14] Bekenstein's suggestion was proven unstable, but it was influential in the development of the field. [15] [16]
