Abstract

We consider the construction of local bulk operators in a black hole background dual to a pure state in conformal field theory. The properties of these operators in a microcanonical ensemble are studied. It has been argued in the literature that typical states in such an ensemble contain firewalls, or otherwise singular horizons. Here, we argue this conclusion can be avoided with a proper definition of the interior operators.

Unitarity from a smooth horizon?

Journal Article Bousso, Raphael ; Tomašević, Marija - Physical Review. D.

Under semiclassical evolution, black holes retain a smooth horizon but fail to return information. Yet, the Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) prescription computes the boundary entropy expected from unitary conformal field theory (CFT) evolution. We demonstrate this in a novel setting with an asymptotic bulk detector, eliminating an assumption about the entanglement wedge of auxiliary systems. We consider three interpretations of this result. (i) At face value, information is lost in the bulk but not in the CFT. This conflicts with the AdS/CFT dictionary. (ii) No unique quantum field theory state (pure or mixed) governs all detector responses to the bulk Hawking radiation.more »« less

Gravitational duals to the grand canonical ensemble abhor Cauchy horizons

Journal Article Hartnoll, Sean A. ; Horowitz, Gary T. ; Kruthoff, Jorrit ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

The gravitational dual to the grand canonical ensemble of a large N holographic theory is a charged black hole. These spacetimes - for example Reissner- Nordström-AdS - can have Cauchy horizons that render the classical gravitational dynamics of the black hole interior incomplete. We show that a (spatially uniform) deformation of the CFT by a neutral scalar operator generically leads to a black hole with no inner horizon. There is instead a spacelike Kasner singularity in the interior. For relevant deformations, Cauchy horizons never form. For certain irrelevant deformations, Cauchy horizons can exist at one specific temperature. We show thatmore »« less

Punctuated eternal inflation via AdS/CFT duality

Journal Article Lowe, David A ; Roy, Shubho ; Physics Department, City College of the CUNY, New York, New York 10031 ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The work is an attempt to model a scenario of inflation in the framework of anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory duality, a potentially complete nonperturbative description of quantum gravity. We study bubble geometries with de Sitter interiors within an ambient Schwarzschild anti-de Sitter black hole spacetime and the properties of the corresponding states in the dual conformal field theory. It is argued the viable bubble states can be identified with a subset of the black hole microstates. Consistency checks are performed and a number of implications regarding cosmology are discussed including how the key problems or paradoxes of conventional eternal inflationmore » are overcome in this scenario.« less

Entanglement wedge reconstruction and the information paradox

Journal Article Penington, Geoffrey - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

When absorbing boundary conditions are used to evaporate a black hole in AdS/CFT, we show that there is a phase transition in the location of the quantum Ryu-Takayanagi surface, at precisely the Page time. The new RT surface lies slightly inside the event horizon, at an infalling time approximately the scrambling time β/2 π logS _BH into the past. We can immediately derive the Page curve, using the Ryu-Takayanagi formula, and the Hayden-Preskill decoding criterion, using entanglement wedge reconstruction. Because part of the interior is now encoded in the early Hawking radiation, the decreasing entanglement entropy of the blackmore »« less

Toward the AdS/CFT gravity dual for high energy collisions. I. Falling into the AdS space

Journal Article Shu, Lin ; Shuryak, Edward - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence we discuss the gravity dual of a high energy collision in a strongly coupled N=4 SYM gauge theory. We suggest a setting in which two colliding objects are made of nondynamical heavy quarks and antiquarks, which allows one to treat the process in classical string approximation. Collision 'debris' consist of closed as well as open strings. If the latter have ends on two outgoing charges, they are being 'stretched' along the collision axes. We discuss motion in AdS of some simple objects first--massless and massive particles--and then focus on open strings. We studymore »« less
