Hawking's argument for information loss in black hole evaporation rests on the assumption of independent Hilbert spaces for the interior and exterior of a black hole. We argue that such independence cannot be established without incorporating strong gravitational effects that undermine locality and invalidate the use of quantum field theory in a semiclassical background geometry. These considerations should also play a role in a deeper understanding of horizon complementarity.

  1. Challenges for describing unitary evolution in nontrivial geometries: pictures and representations

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Evolution between slices in D>2 curved spacetimes shifts the state between unitarily inequivalent Fock representations; the physical representation can be fixed locally by a positive-frequency condition equivalent, in...

  2. Light scalars in light of UV/IR mixing: classicalization via synergy between Vainshtein and chameleon screenings

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Classicalizing k-essence scalars need m << Λ* and, when potentials or fermion couplings are present, a chameleon-like screening layer to keep Vainshtein screening and classicalon stability intact.
