The Price of Curiosity: Information Recovery in de Sitter Space
Lars Aalsma, Watse Sybesma
Recent works have revealed that quantum extremal islands can contribute to the fine-grained entropy of black hole radiation reproducing the unitary Page curve. In this paper, we us…
A New Spin on the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Lars Aalsma, Alex Cole, Gregory J. Loges +1
The mild form of the Weak Gravity Conjecture states that quantum or higher-derivative corrections should decrease the mass of large extremal charged black holes at fixed charge. Th…
Chaos and complementarity in de Sitter space
Lars Aalsma, Gary Shiu
We consider small perturbations to a static three-dimensional de Sitter geometry. For early enough perturbations that satisfy the null energy condition, the result is a shockwave g…
Weak Gravity Conjecture, Black Hole Entropy, and Modular Invariance
Lars Aalsma, Alex Cole, Gary Shiu
In recent literature, it has been argued that a mild form of the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) is satisfied by wide classes of effective field theories in which higher-derivative c…
Back(reaction) to the Future in the Unruh-de Sitter State
Lars Aalsma, Maulik Parikh, Jan Pieter van der Schaar
Motivated by black hole physics, we define the Unruh state for a scalar field in de Sitter space. Like the Bunch-Davies state, the Unruh-de Sitter state appears thermal to a static…
