Observations of Hawking radiation: the Page curve and baby universes
Donald Marolf, Henry Maxfield
We reformulate recent insights into black hole information in a manner emphasizing operationally-defined notions of entropy, Lorentz-signature descriptions, and asymptotically flat…

The path integral of 3D gravity near extremality; or, JT gravity with defects as a matrix integral
Henry Maxfield, Gustavo J. Turiaci
We propose that a class of new topologies, for which there is no classical solution, should be included in the path integral of three-dimensional pure gravity, and that their inclu…

Transcending the ensemble: baby universes, spacetime wormholes, and the order and disorder of black hole information
Donald Marolf, Henry Maxfield
In the 1980's, work by Coleman and by Giddings and Strominger linked the physics of spacetime wormholes to `baby universes' and an ensemble of theories. We revisit such ideas, usin…
