During the past 30 years, research in general relativity has brought to light strong hints of a very deep and fundamental relationship between gravitation, thermodynamics, and quantum theory. The most striking indication of such a relationship comes from black hole thermodynamics, where it appears that certain laws of black hole mechanics are, in fact, simply the ordinary laws of thermodynamics applied to a system containing a black hole. This article will review the present status of black hole thermodynamics and will discuss some of the related unresolved issues concerning gravitation, thermodynamics, and quantum theory.

  1. Macroscopic Black-Hole Remnants in a Nonlocal Field Theory: Towards Hawking Radiation in SFT

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a smeared massless scalar on dynamical black hole, outgoing particle number drops to zero after scrambling time due to SFT nonlocality, implying macroscopic remnant.

  2. Non-local correlations of a test quantum field in gravitational collapse

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Equal-time vacuum correlations of a test quantum field on a dynamically collapsing, horizon-forming spacetime develop non-local peaks across the apparent horizon, and the outside peak moves away from the horizon over time.
