abstract

We consider an AdS$_2$ black hole in equilibrium with a bath, which we take to have a dual description as (0+1)-dimensional quantum mechanical system coupled to a (1+1)-dimensional field theory serving as the bath. We compute the entropies of both the quantum mechanical degrees of freedom and of the bath separately, while allowing contributions from entanglement wedge "islands". We find situations where the island extends {\it outside} the black hole horizon. This suggests possible causality paradoxes which we show are avoided because of the quantum focusing conjecture. Finally, we formulate a version of the information paradox for a black hole in contact with a bath in the Hartle-Hawking state, and demonstrate the role of islands in resolving this paradox.

Replica wormholes and the black hole interior

hep-th · 2019-11-27 · conditional · novelty 9.0

Replica wormhole geometries justify the replica trick computation of the Page curve in holographic black hole models and support entanglement wedge reconstruction via the Petz map.

Replica Wormholes and the Entropy of Hawking Radiation

hep-th · 2019-11-27 · accept · novelty 8.0

Replica wormholes in the gravitational path integral yield the island rule for the fine-grained entropy of Hawking radiation, ensuring it follows the unitary Page curve in two-dimensional dilaton gravity.

Particle detector in a position-superposed black hole spacetime

quant-ph · 2026-04-13 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

An Unruh-DeWitt detector interacting with a position-superposed BTZ black hole produces outcome probabilities containing a nonclassical contribution that distinguishes quantum superposition from classical mixtures, arising from singularities in the probed spectrum.

The mini-Page Curve in Cosmology

hep-th · 2026-07-09 · conditional · novelty 6.5

In 2D centaur geometries the entropy difference of a modular-conjugate Hawking-pair probe traces an inverse mini-Page curve that bottoms at τ≈β/8, marking when information begins to leave the cosmological horizon.

Entanglement islands, fuzzballs and stretched horizons

hep-th · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Fuzzball models with stretched horizons modify or eliminate entanglement islands depending on boundary conditions and cap geometry, producing information paradox analogues in some cases.

Kerr Black Hole Ringdown in Effective Field Theory

gr-qc · 2026-03-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Effective field theory yields model-independent corrections to Kerr black hole quasinormal modes that oscillate logarithmically near extremality, indicating discrete scale invariance.
