Competition between FL-violating decay channels and multiparticle discharge

Determine how decay channels that can violate the Festina Lente bound without producing a crunch for every observer compete with multiparticle discharge in the backreacted tunneling dynamics of charged de Sitter black holes.

Background

The paper discusses the Festina Lente bound as a heuristic condition motivated by the evaporation of charged Reissner–Nordström–de Sitter black holes. It notes that a backreacted tunneling analysis has identified decay channels capable of violating the bound without causing a crunch for every observer, but that the relative importance of these channels compared with multiparticle discharge has not been determined. Resolving this competition is relevant to assessing the general validity and physical implications of the Festina Lente argument.
