description Abstract We investigated the impact of metric fluctuations on the higher-dimensional black hole geometry. We generalized the four-dimensional model to higher dimensions to treat quantum vacuum fluctuations by the classical approach. A fluctuating black hole is portrayed by a higher-dimensional Vaidya metric with a spherically oscillating mass. Assuming a small fluctuation amplitude, we employed a perturbation method to obtain a radially outgoing null geodesic equation up to the second order in the fluctuation. Furthermore, the fluctuation of the event horizon up to the second order depends on the number of spacetime dimensions. Therefore, the time-averaged values of the thermodynamic variables defined at the horizon also feature dimension-dependent correction terms. A general solution was obtained for rays propagating near the horizon within a fluctuating geometry. Upon examining this in a large D limit, we found that a complete solution can be obtained in a compact form.
