We argue that the proper time from the horizon to the black hole singularity can be extracted from the thermal expectation values of certain operators outside the horizon. This works for fields which couple to higher curvature terms, so that they can decay into two gravitons. To extract this time, it is necessary to vary the mass of the field.

  1. Imprint of the black hole singularity on thermal two-point functions

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Thermal two-point functions in holographic AdS black holes receive exponentially small non-perturbative corrections controlled by null geodesics bouncing off the singularity.

  2. Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.

  3. Symmetric Product Orbifold Universality and the Mirage of an Emergent Spacetime

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Symmetric product orbifolds have large-N thermal correlators identical to BTZ, undercutting the claim that a type III1 von Neumann algebra implies a sharp emergent horizon.

  4. Falling through the horizon of a quantum black hole

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Gravitational dressing in JT gravity lets an infalling Unruh-DeWitt detector detect the horizon location and temperature locally, violating the equivalence principle without a firewall.

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Exact CFT states for colliding particles that form evaporating AdS black holes are constructed, and several coarse-graining maps are shown to convert the exact pure state into mixed semiclassical Hawking radiation wit...

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An equal-weight superposition of all non-crossing singlet pairings in a Heisenberg chain shows logarithmic entanglement growth (c≈5.2) and near-infinite-temperature thermalization.

  7. Imprint of the black hole interior on thermal four-point correlators

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Analytically continuing and smearing thermal four-point correlators turns them into flat-space scattering amplitudes at a bulk point inside the black hole.

  8. Composite AdS geodesics for CFT correlators and timelike entanglement entropy

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A bulk extremization prescription produces composite timelike-spacelike geodesics whose complex length exactly matches CFT two-point functions at timelike separation, including behind the BTZ horizon.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the RS-II braneworld with p-brane gas, the holographic thermal one-point function of heavy operators inherits its time dependence from the brane motion: late-time power-law decays τ^{-Δ/2}, τ^{-2Δ/3}, τ^{-Δ} for ra...

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a perturbed Euclidean BTZ black hole, the first-order change in the thermal one-point function is still controlled by the change in the boundary-to-horizon geodesic length, up to m-dependent prefactors.
