Can Black Hole Relax Unitarily?
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the way the BTZ black hole relaxes back to thermal equilibrium after a small perturbation and how it is seen in the boundary (finite volume) CFT. The unitarity requires the relaxation to be quasi-periodic. It is preserved in the CFT but is not obvious in the case of the semiclassical black hole the relaxation of which is driven by complex quasi-normal modes. We discuss two ways of modifying the semiclassical black hole geometry to maintain unitarity: the (fractal) brick wall and the worm-hole modification. In the latter case the entropy comes out correctly as well.

متن کاملSemi-infinite throat as the end-state geometry of two-dimensional black hole evaporation.
We study a modified two-dimensional dilaton gravity theory which is exactly solvable in the semiclassical approximation including back-reaction. The vacuum solutions of this modified theory are asymptotically flat static space-times. Infalling matter forms a black hole if its energy is above a certain threshold. The black hole singularity is initially hidden behind a timelike apparent horizon. ...
متن کاملExact Operator Quantization of the Euclidean Black Hole CFT
We present an exact operator quantization of the Euclidean Black Hole CFT using a recently established free field parametrization of the fundamental fields of the classical theory [4, 5, 6, 7]. Quantizing the map to free fields, we show that the resulting quantum fields are causal and transform as covariant fields w.r.t. the Virasoro algebra. We construct the reflection operator of the quantum ...
متن کاملBetter late than never: information retrieval from black holes.
We show that, in order to preserve the equivalence principle until late times in unitarily evaporating black holes, the thermodynamic entropy of a black hole must be primarily entropy of entanglement across the event horizon. For such black holes, we show that the information entering a black hole becomes encoded in correlations within a tripartite quantum state, the quantum analogue of a one-t...
متن کاملOrganizational Black Hole Theory
There are issues in organizations that require new theoretical formulation. Hence, metaphorical theorizing is used in the study of organizations to interpret them and understand their complexities. In this method, the organization is likened to an entity and one of the key features of that entity is generalized to the organization. It should be borne in mind that most organizational theories ar...
