This is one of the reasons why studying QG is not merely an ultra-high-energy issue, but is important even for low- energy physics. This finiteness conjecture is motivated by conjectured finiteness of the Calabi-Yau manifolds, finiteness of the flux choices [279], and finite generalized entropy [280, 281, 282, 283]. Here, two (a priori) distinct notions of finiteness arise. a) Each bulk EFT has finite degrees of freedom. For instance, the bulk matter central charge must be finite. b) The number of possible quantum gravitational EFTs is finite in the low-energy theory space. The choice of couplings and their values is limited and not arbitrary."},{"citing_arxiv_id":"2606.30797","ref_index":53,"ref_count":1,"confidence":0.98,"is_internal_anchor":true,"paper_title":"On Black Holes Surrounded by Radiation II: Thermodynamics","primary_cat":"hep-th","submitted_at":"2026-06-29T18:21:28+00:00","verdict":"UNVERDICTED","verdict_confidence":"LOW","novelty_score":5.0,"formal_verification":"none","one_line_summary":"Hillingar black holes thermodynamically mimic ordinary black holes of mass M, sharing temperature and entropy under thermal equilibrium.","context_count":0,"top_context_role":null,"top_context_polarity":null,"context_text":null},{"citing_arxiv_id":"2606.11984","ref_index":142,"ref_count":1,"confidence":0.98,"is_internal_anchor":true,"paper_title":"Modular quantization and black holes","primary_cat":"hep-th","submitted_at":"2026-06-10T12:07:41+00:00","verdict":"UNVERDICTED","verdict_confidence":"LOW","novelty_score":5.0,"formal_verification":"none","one_line_summary":"Modular quantization of a single holographic CFT reproduces exact Hartle-Hawking correlators of smooth BTZ black holes in the semiclassical limit while yielding non-smooth stretched-horizon descriptions at finite GN.","context_count":1,"top_context_role":"background","top_context_polarity":"background","context_text":"Susskind, \"String theory and the principles of black hole complementarity,\" Phys.
