abstract

Spacetime wormholes can lead to surprises in black hole physics. We show that a very old black hole can tunnel to a white hole/firewall by emitting a large baby universe. We study the process for a perturbed thermofield double black hole in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity, using the lowest order (genus one) spacetime wormhole that corresponds to single baby-universe emission. The probability for tunneling to a white hole is proportional to $t^2 e^{-2S}$ where $t$ is the age of the black hole and $S$ is the entropy of one black hole.

  1. Evaporating Black Hole Interior and Complexity Evolution

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In JT gravity with an end-of-the-world brane, the renormalized interior length — read as subsystem complexity — grows linearly, peaks around the Page time, and then decays exponentially, with growing relative fluctuat...

  2. Falling through the horizon of a quantum black hole

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Gravitational dressing in JT gravity lets an infalling Unruh-DeWitt detector detect the horizon location and temperature locally, violating the equivalence principle without a firewall.

  3. An apologia for islands

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Entanglement islands and Page curves can arise in massless gravity without an external bath, and compactly supported gauge-invariant operators exist in islands around generic symmetry-breaking black hole backgrounds.

  4. Black hole thermodynamics and topology

    gr-qc 2025-05 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The author derives S_RN = 4πM^2 for Reissner-Nordström black holes by adding the inverse temperatures of both horizons, contradicting the standard area law.
