Branches of the Black Hole Wave Function Need Not Contain Firewalls
Ning Bao, Sean M. Carroll, Aidan Chatwin-Davies +2
We discuss the branching structure of the quantum-gravitational wave function that describes the evaporation of a black hole. A global wave function which initially describes a cla…
De Sitter Space as a Tensor Network: Cosmic No-Hair, Complementarity, and Complexity
Ning Bao, ChunJun Cao, Sean M. Carroll +1
We investigate the proposed connection between de Sitter spacetime and the MERA (Multiscale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz) tensor network, and ask what can be learned via suc…
Puzzles and pitfalls involving Haar-typicality in holography
Ning Bao, Aidan Chatwin-Davies
Holographic states that have a well-defined geometric dual in AdS/CFT are not faithfully represented by Haar-typical states in finite-dimensional models. As such, trying to apply p…
Cosmic Equilibration: A Holographic No-Hair Theorem from the Generalized Second Law
Sean M. Carroll, Aidan Chatwin-Davies
In a wide class of cosmological models, a positive cosmological constant drives cosmological evolution toward an asymptotically de Sitter phase. Here we connect this behavior to th…
