Eigenstate Thermalization and Disorder Averaging in Gravity
arXiv:2002.02971 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.021601
Abstract
Naively, a resolution of the black hole information paradox appears to involve microscopic details of a theory of quantum gravity. However, recent work has argued that a unitary Page curve can be recovered by including novel replica instantons in the gravitational path integral. Moreover, replica instantons seem to rely on disorder averaging the microscopic theory, without a definite connection to a single, underlying unitary quantum system. In this letter, we show that disorder averaging and replica instantons emerge naturally from a gravitational effective theory built out of typical microscopic states. We relate replica instantons to a moment expansion of the simple operators appearing in the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis, describe Feynman rules for computing the moments, and find an elegant microcanonical description of replica instantons in terms of wormholes and Euclidean black holes.
