We present a further argument that typical black holes with field theory duals have firewalls at the horizon. This argument makes no reference to entanglement between the black hole and any distant system, and so is not evaded by identifying degrees of freedom inside the black hole with those outside. We also address the ER=EPR conjecture of Maldacena and Susskind, arguing that the correlations in generic highly entangled states cannot be geometrized as a smooth wormhole.

  1. The entropy of bulk quantum fields and the entanglement wedge of an evaporating black hole

    hep-th 2019-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    In a 2d evaporating black hole model, large boosts create O(1/G_N) gradients in bulk entropy that move the quantum extremal surface, causing the generalized entropy to follow unitary expectations with information disa...

  2. Superball of Strings

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A random-walk-sized fuzzball of BPS superstrings in supergravity is proposed to describe generic BPS microstates instead of a singular black hole.

  3. UV Effects and Short-Lived Hawking Radiation: Alternative Resolution of Information Paradox

    hep-th 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Hawking radiation terminates around the scrambling time due to trans-Planckian stringy effects in GUP and string-field-theory-inspired toy models, yielding negligible evaporation and a mostly classical black hole.
