An AdS_2 black hole spacetime is an AdS_2 spacetime together with a preferred choice of time. The Boulware, Hartle-Hawking and SL(2,R) invariant vacua are constructed, together with their Green functions and stress tensors, for both massive and massless scalars in an AdS_2 black hole. The classical Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is found to be independent of the temperature, but at one loop a non-zero entanglement entropy arises. This represents a logarithmic violation of finite-temperature decoupling for AdS_2 black holes which arise in the near-horizon limit of an asymptotically flat black hole. Correlation functions of the SL(2,R) invariant boundary quantum mechanics are computed as functions of the choice of AdS_2 vacuum.

  1. Confinement Versus Screening in the Schwinger Model on AdS$_2$ from Bosonization and Tensor Networks

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Massless QED2 on AdS2 is screened, not confined, when the static potential is defined after subtracting position-dependent probe self-energies.

  2. Falling through the horizon of a quantum black hole

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Gravitational dressing in JT gravity lets an infalling Unruh-DeWitt detector detect the horizon location and temperature locally, violating the equivalence principle without a firewall.

  3. The Fate of Nucleated Black Holes in de Sitter Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nucleated maximal-mass black holes in de Sitter space undergo thermal Hawking evaporation in smooth quantum states and return fully to the empty de Sitter vacuum.

  4. Tests of restricted Quantum Focusing and a new CFT bound

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    From rQFC, a new CFT bound follows that forbids the QNEC from saturating faster than O(Σ^{d−2}) in near-vacuum states, while rQFC is proven in JT gravity and explicit QFC counterexamples are constructed.

  5. Optical Characteristics of the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Black Hole

    gr-qc 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black hole, the magnetic field mainly enlarges the shadow and Einstein ring while rotation mainly distorts the shadow shape, and current M87* and Sgr A* data give only weak bounds on the field.

  6. The extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om throat from non extremal near horizon expansions

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    String Carroll first-order data miss the RN AdS2×S2 throat; second-order (EF) or all-order radial (static) terms restore it under near-extremal scaling.

  7. JT gravity and deformed CFTs

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Deformed CFTs on a strip with a stretched-horizon conformal boundary are proposed as UV completions of pure and matter-coupled JT gravity, reproducing its entropy and a Page-curve-like saturation.

  8. The AdS Perspective on the Nonlinear Tails in Black Hole Ringdown

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The known t^{-(2L+2)} nonlinear ringdown tail is rederived via AdS2 x S2, with a proposed but incorrectly normalized Aretakis amplitude relation.
