The Entropy of a Vacuum: What Does the Covariant Entropy Count?
Yasunori Nomura, Sean J. Weinberg
We argue that a unitary description of the formation and evaporation of a black hole implies that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is the "entropy of a vacuum": the logarithm of the…
Black Holes or Firewalls: A Theory of Horizons
Yasunori Nomura, Jaime Varela, Sean J. Weinberg
We present a quantum theory of black hole (and other) horizons, in which the standard assumptions of complementarity are preserved without contradicting information theoretic consi…
Low Energy Description of Quantum Gravity and Complementarity
Yasunori Nomura, Jaime Varela, Sean J. Weinberg
We consider a framework in which low energy dynamics of quantum gravity is described preserving locality, and yet taking into account the effects that are not captured by the naive…
