Firewalls From General Covariance
Raphael Bousso
I define "horizon normalcy" as the approximate validity of Semiclassical Gravity and Effective Field Theory (SGEFT), for the description of observers that approach or cross a black…

Holographic Entropy Cone Beyond AdS/CFT
Raphael Bousso, Sami Kaya
We extend all known area inequalities obeyed by Ryu-Takayanagi surfaces of AdS boundary regions -- the holographic entropy cone -- to static generalized entanglement wedges of bulk…

Robust Singularity Theorem
Raphael Bousso
We prove the Penrose-Wall singularity theorem in the full semiclassical gravity regime, significantly expanding its range of validity. To accomplish this, we modify the definition…
