We formulate a version of the information paradox in de Sitter spacetime and show that it is solved by the emergence of entanglement islands in the context of the DS/dS correspondence; in particular, the entanglement entropy of a subregion obeys a time-dependent Page curve. Our construction works in general spacetime dimensions and keeps the graviton massless. We interpret the resulting behavior of the entanglement entropy using double holography. It suggests that the spatial distribution of microscopic degrees of freedom depends on descriptions, as in the case of a black hole. In the static (distant) description of de Sitter (black hole) spacetime, these degrees of freedom represent microstates associated with the Gibbons-Hawking (Bekenstein-Hawking) entropy and are localized toward the horizon. On the other hand, in a global (effective two-sided) description, which is obtained by the quantum analog of analytic continuation and is intrinsically semiclassical, they are distributed uniformly and in a unique semiclassical de Sitter (black hole) vacuum state.

  1. The mini-Page Curve in Cosmology

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    In 2D centaur geometries the entropy difference of a modular-conjugate Hawking-pair probe traces an inverse mini-Page curve that bottoms at τ≈β/8, marking when information begins to leave the cosmological horizon.

  2. Algebras, Entanglement Islands, and Observers

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Entanglement islands in the AdS/bath island model realize the quantum-gravity 'observer' as a Goldstone vector mode, making the island operator algebra an emergent Type II∞ von Neumann algebra.

  3. Constraints from Entanglement Wedge Nesting for Holography at a Finite Cutoff

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For holography with a finite ETW-brane cutoff, entanglement wedge nesting requires the two intervals' RT surfaces to be spacelike separated, a condition stronger than spacelike separation of the intervals themselves.

  4. Quasinormal Modes and the Switchback Effect in Schwarzschild-de Sitter

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives eikonal quasinormal mode frequencies and shock-wave switchback delays in Schwarzschild-de Sitter for arbitrary mass, using static-sphere observers and reflecting boundary conditions.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For a wedge black string with fluctuating branes, the Complexity=Action growth rate gains a constant edge-mode term while Complexity=Volume gains a fluctuation-squared correction, breaking the naive equivalence of the...

  6. 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.

  7. The fate of Schwarzschild--de Sitter black holes: nonequilibrium evaporation

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the Unruh–de Sitter state the anomaly flux J=(N/48π)(κ_b²−κ_c²) is positive throughout the static patch, so every neutral SdS black hole evaporates monotonically and only the Nariai limit has zero flux.

  8. Entanglement Entropy and Complexity of Multicomponent Universe from Holography

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For two-component FLRW universes built from an AdS black brane plus p-brane gas, holographic entanglement entropy scales as tau early and as tau^{4/3} (dark matter) or tau^2 (exotic matter) late, while volume complexi...

    hep-th 2025-10 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    AdS/BCFT with Horndeski gravity is claimed to yield Josephson junctions whose phase and current depend on the Horndeski couplings, but the condensate and critical temperature are put in by hand.

    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.
