Abstract
In an asymptotically flat spacetime of dimension and with the Newtonian gravitational constant , a spherical black hole of initial horizon radius and mass has a total decay time to Hawking emission of which grows without bound as the radius and mass are taken to infinity. However, in asymptotically anti–de Sitter spacetime with a length scale and with absorbing boundary conditions at infinity, the total Hawking decay time does not diverge as the mass and radius go to infinity but instead remains bounded by a time of the order of .
