String theory provides an example of the kind of apparent inconsistency that the {\it Principle of Black Hole Complementarity\/} deals with. To a freely infalling observer a string falling through a black hole horizon appears to be a Planck size object. To an outside observer the string and all the information it carries begin to spread as the string approaches the horizon. In a time of order the ``information retention time'' it fills the entire area of the horizon.

    Normalized Krylov-Wigner negativity rate matches Krylov variance growth and equals tidal stretch rate R ∝ C P_ρ if and only if Δ=1 in AdS3.

  3. Strings near BTZ black holes: A Carrollian Chronicle

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper classifies families of closed bosonic string solutions in the near-horizon non-extremal BTZ spacetime and identifies novel features via string-Carroll expansion.

  4. Modular quantization and black holes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
