Equation 27 · Part 4 · How Fast Can a Horizon Learn Which Path You Took?
Symbol kappa
What this part means
surface gravity with inverse-time units in the chosen normalization.
Its job in the formula
kappa occurs above the fraction bar. The numerator is divided by the entire denominator below it.

Where the article explains it
Here C is their dimensionless decohering flux, is surface gravity with inverse-time units in the chosen normalization, and T is the associated Killing time.
The passage around this formula
Gralla and Wei calculate the large-holding-time overlap for nonextremal bifurcate Killing horizons in electromagnetic and Klein–Gordon analogues. In their natural-unit convention, . so the adapter into the exponential ledger is

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
