Read it piece by piece
Symbol V
V is part of the quantity the equation computes from the expression on the right.
Symbol T
T is an argument of the function-like quantity on the left; its role is set by that function’s stated inputs.
Symbol T_0
occurs below the fraction bar. The quantity above the bar is divided by this expression; zero is excluded as a denominator.
Symbol C
C is one of the signed contributions combined to compute the quantity on the left.
=
The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.
See an illustrated explanation →subscript
The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.
superscript
A raised number can be a power. When it is a label or bound, it selects a case or the upper limit of a sum; the formula’s structure distinguishes these uses.

With a fixed numerator, increasing a nonzero denominator reduces the fraction. Read it with the definitions, units, and assumptions supplied by the article.
What the article says around this equation
The nonextremal exponential is not universal. Gralla and Wei find that at zero surface gravity a scalar/Klein–Gordon analogue can cross to power-law overlap, . while in their electromagnetic extremal Kerr limit the relevant horizon flux is expelled: both the surface gravity and electromagnetic decohering flux vanish because the external field does not penetrate the horizon [ 3 ] . For a genuine power law with C>0 , a threshold clock scales as a power of the required overlap rather than a logarithm. For the screened electromagnetic case, no horizon record accumulates through that channel.
