We address questions regarding construction and implications of gauge-invariant "dressed" observables in nontrivial background geometries such as that of a black hole. Formally, such observables can be constructed, e.g. by locating points with geodesics launched from infinity. However, practical complications arise in non-trivial geometries, and in particular for observables behind black hole horizons. Greater simplicity can be achieved by considering null constructions where the dressing lies along a null geodesic, or null surface such as a cone. We first investigate basic properties of these null dressings in the simpler context of electromagnetism. Since null constructions provide simple dressings for gauge-invariant observables inside black holes, they also allow us to investigate the question of compatibility of observables inside and outside black holes, and in particular the idea of black hole complementarity. While such observables in general have non-vanishing state-dependent commutators, the failure to commute does not appear particularly enhanced by the presence of the horizon.

Probabilistic Causality from Graviton Fluctuations
In a thermal state of gravitons at temperature T, metric fluctuations induce a Gaussian spread in the causal structure of a scalar field with Var(x²) = 16 G_N T t³ / 3 after vacuum subtraction.

The Fr\"ohlich-Morchio-Strocchi mechanism and quantum gravity
Applying the Fröhlich-Morchio-Strocchi mechanism to canonical quantum gravity shows that ordinary particles emerge as the leading-order part of diffeomorphism-invariant, gravitationally dressed operators when gravitat...

Quantum gravity observables: observation, algebras, and mathematical structure
