Distinguishing causal time from Minkowski time and a model for the black hole quantum eigenstates
G. 't Hooft
A discussion is presented of the principle of black hole com- plementarity. It is argued that this principle could be viewed as a breakdown of general relativity, or alternatively,…
Quantization of Space and Time in 3 and in 4 Space-time Dimensions
G. 't Hooft
The fact that in Minkowski space, space and time are both quantized does not have to be introduced as a new postulate in physics, but can actually be derived by combining certain f…
Quantum information and information loss in General Relativity
G. 't Hooft
When it comes to performing thought experiments with black holes, Einstein-Bohr like discussions have to be re-opened. For instance one can ask what happens to the quantum state of…
Horizon Operator Approach to Black Hole Quantization
G. 't Hooft
The -matrix Ansatz for the construction of a quantum theory of black holes is further exploited. We first note that treating the metric tensor $g_{\m\n}$ as an operator rather t…
