Here we extend the analysis by giving the canonical theory for the same and subsequently quantize the system by solving the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. We show that for the case of small dust perturbations around a black hole the wave functionals so obtained describe an AdS-Schwarzschild black hole in equilibrium with a thermal bath at Hawking temperature and show the non-trivial dependence of this temperature on the number of spacetime dimensions and the cosmological constant.20 pagesGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
