Abstract

We apply the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) to the problem of maximum entropy and evaporation/absorption of energy of black holes near the Planck scale. We find within this general approach corrections to the maximum entropy, and indications for quenching of the evaporation because not only the evaporation term goes to a finite limit, but also because absorption of quanta seems to help the balance for black holes in a thermal bath. Then, residual masses around the Planck scale may be the final outcome of primordial black hole evaporation.
