Generalized Entanglement Capacity of de Sitter Space
Tom Banks, Patrick Draper
Near horizons, quantum fields of low spin exhibit densities of states that behave asymptotically like 1+1 dimensional conformal field theories. In effective field theory, imposing…
Breakdown of Field Theory in Near-Horizon Regions
Tom Banks, Patrick Draper, Manthos Karydas
We discuss back-reaction in the semiclassical treatment of quantum fields near a black hole. When the state deviates significantly from Hartle-Hawking, simple energetic considerati…
Black Hole Time Scales: Thermalization, Infall and Complexity
T. Banks
We argue that the infall time to the singularity in the interior of a black hole, is always related to a classical thermalization time. This indicates that singularities are relate…
Lectures On Black Hole Evaporation and Information Loss
Thomas Banks
Trieste Spring School Lectures describing the author's opinions about black hole evaporation and information loss. The remnant, or cornucopion scenario for the endpoint of Hawking…
