Hawking's 1974 calculation of thermal emission from a classical black hole led to his 1976 proposal that information may be lost from our universe as a pure quantum state collapses gravitationally into a black hole, which then evaporates completely into a mixed state of thermal radiation. Another possibility is that the information is not lost, but is stored in a remnant of the evaporating black hole. A third idea is that the information comes out in nonthermal correlations within the Hawking radiation, which would be expected to occur at too slow a rate, or be too spread out, to be revealed by any nonperturbative calculation.

  1. Dynamical Casimir Effect and Vacuum Friction in the Near-Horizon Geometry of a Black Hole

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A quantum Maxwell demon near a black hole horizon loses some work extraction ability for external observers due to information inaccessibility but obeys local thermodynamics and preserves the equivalence principle for...

  2. The mini-Page Curve in Cosmology

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    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.

  3. Dynamical Casimir Effect and Vacuum Friction in the Near-Horizon Geometry of a Black Hole

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In the near-horizon geometry of a black hole, the dynamical Casimir effect is suppressed by a conformal geometric factor and vanishing effective Mach number, causing the transition probability to vanish at the event horizon.

  4. Classical limit for Dirac fermions with modified action in the presence of the black hole

    gr-qc 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A covariant model of Dirac fermions with an extra Planck-derived term yields the same Einstein-equation collapse as ordinary GR yet permits numerical trajectories that escape the black hole.
