abstract
In holographic duality an eternal AdS black hole is described by two copies of the boundary CFT in the thermal field double state. This identification has many puzzles, including the boundary descriptions of the event horizons, the interiors of the black hole, and the singularities. Compounding these mysteries is the fact that, while there is no interaction between the CFTs, observers from them can fall into the black hole and interact. We address these issues in this paper. In particular, we (i) present a boundary formulation of a class of in-falling bulk observers; (ii) present an argument that a sharp bulk event horizon can only emerge in the infinite $N$ limit of the boundary theory; (iii) give an explicit construction in the boundary theory of an evolution operator for a bulk in-falling observer, making manifest the boundary emergence of the black hole horizons, the interiors, and the associated causal structure. A by-product is a concept called causal connectability, which is a criterion for any two quantum systems (which do not need to have a known gravity dual) to have an emergent sharp horizon structure.

Uniqueness of null-local modular flow
For the free massless scalar in a Minkowski causal diamond, the vacuum is the unique state or weight in the vacuum sector whose modular flow is local on the null boundary.

JT gravity on the worldline
Coupling a worldline observer to JT gravity replaces its evolution operator by an exactly computed average over fluctuating Euclidean times; the fluctuations are small in the disk but large on the double trumpet.

A de Sitter Anti-Scrambling Algebra
In a toy model of de Sitter quantum gravity, shockwave time advances break the KMS condition and prevent the Hartle-Hawking state from being a trace on the observer's crossed-product algebra.

The Making of von Neumann Algebras from Bulk Focusing
A boundary region's infinite-N operator algebra is a von Neumann algebra exactly when its generalized causal wedge closes on the same region; null geodesic focusing is the bulk mechanism.

The algebraic structure of gravitational scrambling
The paper builds an operator algebra, the modular-twisted product, that captures black hole scrambling exactly at the scrambling time and reduces to previously known free and tensor product algebras in the appropriate limits.

Falling through the horizon of a quantum black hole
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.

Toward an Observable Algebra for de Sitter Space: Gap Protection and Modular Dressings
In global dS2 the fundamental complement of a finite union of arcs is empty unless some complementary gap has length at least π; a commutant-based algebra model reproduces this and exhibits a discontinuous 'activation...

Black hole thermodynamics at null infinity. Part 2: Open systems, Markovian dynamics and work extraction from non-rotating black holes
Null-infinity black hole thermodynamics is recast as Markovian open-system thermodynamics, with chemical-potential terms identified as extractable work and used to formulate generalized grand-potential laws for Schwar...

Observers and Timekeepers: From the Page-Wootters Mechanism to the Gravitational Path Integral
Metric summation produces the problem of time, topology summation produces the one-dimensional Hilbert space, and a timekeeper path integral gives observer-dependent holography.

Algebras, Entanglement Islands, and Observers
Entanglement islands in the AdS/bath island model realize the quantum-gravity 'observer' as a Goldstone vector mode, making the island operator algebra an emergent Type II∞ von Neumann algebra.

Black hole thermodynamics at null infinity. Part 1: Dual Generalized Second Law
At future null infinity, the generalized second law for a Schwarzschild black hole becomes the monotonic decrease of a free energy, or grand potential, constructed from the Bondi mass and angular-mode chemical potentials.
