Abstract

We explore different (and complementary) views of spinors and their exotic counterparts, linking the very existence of the later to the presence of black holes. Moreover, we investigate the effects of the exotic term in the Hawking radiation emission rate, as well as its extremes, for asymptotically flat black holes solutions of general relativity. We show that, under certain circumstances, the emission rate extreme condition fixates an equation from which the exotic term could be inferred.
