abstract

We systematically calculate the quantum extremal surface (QES) associated with Hawking radiation for general $D$-dimensional ($D\geq2$) asymptotically flat (or AdS) eternal black holes using the island formula. We collect the Hawking radiation particles by a non-gravitational bath and find that a QES exists in the near-horizon region outside the black hole when $c\cdot G_{(D)}$ is smaller enough where $c$ is the central charge of the conformal matter and $G_{(D)}$ the $D$-dimensional Newton constant. The locations of the QES in these backgrounds are obtained and the late-time radiation entropy saturates the two times of black hole entropy. Finally, we numerically check that the no island configuration exists once $c\cdot G_{(D)}$ exceeds a certain upper bound in two-dimensional generalized dilaton theories (GDT). When $c\cdot G_{(D)}$ is close to the upper bound, the backreaction of the matter field on the background can not be neglected. We also consider the conditions of existence of the island configuration with the backreaction and prove that the upper bound also exists for the Witten black hole and Weyl-related Witten black hole.

  1. The Remnant of an Evaporating Rotating Regular Black Hole from the Generalized Entropy in the Final Stage of Evaporation

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A rotating regular black hole leaves a remnant because the correction term in the generalized entropy of Hawking radiation vanishes at a finite mass above the extremal limit.

  2. New insights on mutual information in the island approach to the Page curve

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    At scrambling time I(B+:B−)=0 forces I(I:R)→∞, interpreted as conservation of geometric correlation, while I(I:R+:R−) is shown always negative via Cauchy-slice identities.

  3. Phase transition in a doubly holographic model of closed $\mathbf{dS_{2} }$ spacetime

    hep-th 2025-02 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A doubly holographic dS2 model has a third extremal surface whose dominance creates a phase transition, but the surface's geodesic length can be negative.

  4. Island of acoustic black hole in Schwarzschild spacetime

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For a Schwarzschild-surrounded acoustic black hole, phonon entanglement entropy follows a Page curve in the non-extremal case but diverges (no Page time) in the extremal case, according to the island formula.

  5. Replica Wormholes, Modular Entropy, and Capacity of Entanglement in JT Gravity

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In JT gravity toy models, late-time modular entropy and capacity of entanglement scale inversely with n times the inverse temperature, supporting a thermal reading of the replica parameter.
